I was fiddling around with Geektool and looking for different ways to use it and came across an article that says how to make a To Do list that appears on your desktop. The article is here. Anyway, I can't get it to work right. Like the list appears initially but won't update when I update the txt file.

Lately there have been a lot of posters just coming to the Apple forum to bash users and Apple. Since reporting them doesn't seem to be working, today I started using the ignore list. Its a little cumbersome to have to go into your user CP to do it but if it improves the experience on the site its worth it. Its a shame to have to do this but it seems to be the only way.

I have an iPod video. A bunch of random artists that I only have one song by so I'd rather not have them show up when I sort by artist.
I own a DELL XPS 1640 laptop here in India [See Signature for details...]...
AND, I finally gave vent to my DELL'ish' emotions and shot a mail to our very beloved Sir Michael Dell for the following issues –
•Ever falling rubber bumps/guards on the left and right sides of the keyboard
•Continues scratching on the LCD and keys imprinted on it due to 'screen rubbing against keyboard' syndrome;
•Dust behind the LCD plastic cover coating;
•The heat issue;
•And last but not the least the infamous ‘1640 Throttling’.
I got a call from a Senior Dell Marketing person today and had a lengthy half hour talk with him.
I tried pushing for replacement but since I got my DELL XPS 1640 laptop via a friend in U.S of A (I am writing in from India),
who got it delivered to me here, they say this would be possible only if the system reaches back to the starting point in USA, from where DELL can take over (Dear DELL, I really don’t have the luxury of time for all this playing around .....

View 10 Replies View RelatedSo the thread name tells all. Basically, I'm pretty keen on modding my current / older 2nd gen Z with a few parts that the best older gen Zs come with elsewhere around the world.
Modifications planned:
- CPU upgrade
- SSD upgrade
- Glossy Premium Carbon LCD Lid, BLACK with BRUSHED PATTERN (just the top part, not the entire bezel)
- Wireless card upgrade
- RAM upgrade
- Optical drive upgrade
- Adding a 3G card slot .....
A lot of the drivers installed by default and using the Sony Update for Vista. But at the same time, some of them are also the
32 bit drivers where you might not see any functionality from them if they even install correctly.
the link below was found on notebook review (Vista Business 64 Bit Drivers for Vaio Z) and helped me a lot get rid
of the annoying (!) marks in Device Manager......
Given the following hardware of the Sony VAIO X:
Quote:
CPU ~ 2.0-GHz Intel Atom Z550
RAM ~ 2GB-4GB (apparently you can add on another 2GB according to laptopmag)
HDD ~ 128GB SSD
NATIVE RES ~ 1366x768
GFX ~ INTEL GMA 500 w/ 762MB
OS ~ Windows 7 Premium (32-bit)
I don't own a Sony VAIO X, yet, but I would just like to compile a compatible/playable game list for future reference.
If any owners would like to confirm/deny compatibility with the games or would like to add a game, I would appreciate if you send me a PM or post here!

Or remove completely. Some of them don't even have descriptions, but bluetooth for instance I don't use, I could stop those three? Then that would leave only EIGHTY. There are so many processes running, almost all of them say 00- but I take it that doesn't mean they are not using the processor & more to my concern heating up my notebook?
Is there a list of processes somewhere I could safely stop on a vaio? For someone who is not up to the task of clean install (I read the sticky), I'm just wondering if there's anything else that could make a difference before I accept a restocking fee.
I got my studio 1340 five days ago, and haven't check it before I format the old system,(home premium)so,after I installed vista ultimate I got two problem now.
first, the wifi switch only can turn on the lights of bluetooth,never turn on the wifi light,but wifi looks perfect when I online by my router.
under vista ultimate 64 or vista ultimate 32, I add driver as dell said: chip vedio, erthnet wireless bluetooth, sound etc ....
I found C:OEMPreloadAutorunAPPeRYsetup.exe and eRY4053005ACER.cfg

Ran setup but still no driver/app list or manuals list.
I recently installed windows 8.1. But i dont find drivers for bluetooth at in the list of drivers available at website.

Where is Boot from USB option in UEFI boot device list in Inspiron 17r SE?
Mine only shows Network in UEFI boot list?
I'm trying to boot from legacy boot from my new dell 7000 series. however when i change from uefi to legacy i have no boot option. the whole boot list is empty.
i have called dell and the support desk told me dell has no support for legacy :S that means no windows 7 on my dell or any other os that uses non uefi...... i think the bios is corrupt is the whole list is simply missing.
Does anyone have the wired full size apple keyboard w/ the numeric pad?
I got it a couple days ago and it definitely takes some getting used to. But that phase is over now and I love this keyboard. The build quality is amazing and typing feels just like my MBP keyboard.

I have two questions, I had ordered SODIM DDR2, 800Mhz 4GB RAM and a 500GB, 7200RPM SATA Drive with a thought of upgrading my latitude E6400.
Can I use them (RAM and HDD) and upgrade apple macbook? and will that impact apple warantee?
Conventional wisdom holds that one of FAT 32's classical limitations is a 4 Gigabyte files size limit. I've done a few searches on the net, and I find this rule repeated ad-infinitem, without contradiction.
I recently purchased a 320 GB Iomega Prestige external drive that I plan to use interchangeably with my Mac and PC systems. To do this, I re-formatted the disk to a single 320 GB partition with FAT 32 file system (The drive comes formatted NTFS).
Yeah, I know there are work-arounds that would permit me to format it NTFS, and use it read-write on my Mac, and there are probably a few solutions that would permit me to format it Mac OS Extended, and use it my PC. I prefer not to use any "workarounds".
Here's my question.... I had occasion to copy a few files to the drive from my MacBook to the drive, namely my Virtual Machine files, that I don't want to use Time Machine for. I had no problem doing so. The two files exceed 4 Gigabytes handily, with one of them being over 30 Gigabytes! Oops, this can't be done, right?
I ask, how is this possible? I thought I had a 4 Gigabyte limit with FAT 32. Does the fact that I formatted the drive with my Mac give me some sort of advantage that Microsoft's formatting using the same file system does not?
I have read that the reason the FAT 32 files sytem can't store files over 4 Gigabytes, is the insufficient lack of storage within the allocation table for the requisite number of pointers required for a file over 4 Gig in size.
I'm kinda over my 2.4GHz 15" MBP.
Anyone use a 2008 2.8GHz 8-way or a new Nehalem Mac Pro?
I'm going to pick up a bigger HDD pretty soon for my rev A Unibody MBP. Would I be able to use the old 250 GB 5400 drive in the PS3? Seems like a worthwhile upgrade. I'm guess since they are aboth SATA it should work, right?

View 10 Replies View RelatedI know that I have stated earlier that I wasn't considering the MBP 17 because the lack of portability, and that I already got a 24" Full HD screen.
But the thing is; I might be able to get the MBP 17 for the same price as the highend MBP 15, because of all the hassle etc that occurred.
I feel like, I don't really need the extra screen estate, I already think the 15" is barely portable, but the 17" got a great battery etc.
When it comes to what I'm going to use the computer for; mainly light stuff the coming time, but after that I'm going to start using final cut pro a lot and I know the 15" screen isn't enough for the ui of the program and the 17 is enough.
I would really like to upgrade my MBP to 8 GB of Ram as I use lots of VMWares in my job. I read that you can do 6 GB but I also saw some people trying 8GB of RAM on even older MBPs.
I read this with interest:
[url]
I'm sure you have also seen the article about the MBP only doing 6GB and not 8GB.
Has anybody here tried 8GB? With the 17" supporting 8GB, boy I wish they would allow it on older MBPs.
I'm hoping with Snow Leopard that 8GB becomes an option.
