    My Electrocuting Powerbook

    If you used the grounded three-prong cable, the problem could be a grounding issue where you live. I recently had a similar issue in my home and got 162 V shocks from my MacBook Pro. I did some googling on the electrical network in Israel to find whether it is two- or three-phase, but only...

    Overall Comments on Site 2.0 Thread

    I much prefer the new layout. Certainly makes the site more comfortable to browse. I haven't encountered any issues either. Great work : )

    NSURLCredential madness

    It seems to me that NSURLConnection's connection:didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge: delegate method can be implemented to authenticate using credentials supplied by the application if the host requires authentication. If the method is not implemented, the NSURLCredentialStorage is automatically...

    Earthing loops

    If your audio equipment is grounded, you should use balanced audio and preferably a common grounding point to avoid noise. Using high quality cables may also be important if they're of some length. Disconnect unused cables. Depending on the audio equipment, they may work like noise antennas...

    WWDC 2006 keynote

    Someone should set up a unidirectional mic pointing at a speaker stack and unicast the audio to a broadcast server via a Mac and bluetooth phone : )

    Setting up an ISP with Apple Gear

    In short, the Xserve doesn't serve very well as a web server. Common server software is often more optimised for FreeBSD and Linux on x86 based systems. There is an anandtech review comparing a G5 to two Xeons and an Opteron in a server setup: http://www.anandtech.com/mac/showdoc.aspx?i=2436...

    Questions about SSL for web pages

    Comodo has a service called "Positive SSL" which is about $20 a year. It's basically the same thing as VeriSign provides for insane prices, except the name. The security is the same, and the certificate is automatically trusted. If your looking to pay some extra buck for a fancy badge, Thawte...

    Random Freezes

    That's weird. If I remember correctly, there is a "long" and a "quick" test. Have you tried the long one? Also, when you reinstalled the OS, did you allow the installer to test the installation media? It does automatically if you don't click "skip".

    Random Freezes

    Run the hardware test CD that came with your Mac. It will most likely find any eventual hardware issues. It's most likely another bad RAM stick or a defective motherboard or CPU.

    Macbook Pro's Fan is Always On

    The noise from my MBP sounded like the fan running constantly at low speed, but now I think it must have been something else. I noticed it went away for about a minute when I lifted the computer, and now it seems to be permanently gone after I shook the computer pretty hard. The usual warnings...

    Macbook Pro's Fan is Always On

    I noticed the problem after I installed 10.4.7 update. I suspect the update to have done a hidden firmware update as it rebooted the computer twice. Making the fan run constantly seems to be Apple's way of solving the heat problems. It doesn't bother me too much when I'm listening to music...

    Apple Quicktime mpeg2 Component i386

    Weird, it didn't work with my 4.5 or 5.1 serial either. But I doubt that download is the latest version, as it requires a Final Cut Pro 4 or DVD Studio Pro 2 license. The component comes bundled with Final Cut Studio 5.1 Universal and should work on your MacBook Pro.

    Mac OS X 10.4.7 released.

    Those who used the Delta updater for Intel based Macs should probably download and run the update again. The revised update doesn't show up in Software Update yet. http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdate1047intel.html Build 8J235a.
