Hey all I want to build a Hackintosh but I already have a Dell Studio XPS Desktop I bought a few years ago. It's a pretty decent desktop and honestly would love to make it into a Hackintosh if it's possible. It's running Ubuntu right now but I hate using Linux but not sure if it can run Apple...

Well they now have the retina macbook pro 13in model. Not sure how much more you want from the 13 in model that they aren't offering now. I doubt they'll make any more revolutionary changes to it anytime soon.

So I've never had a smart phone but I'm thinking of getting an unlocked iPhone 5. I figure it can come in quite useful for many of the things I use now. I don't want to get one with a contract, even though in the short run it's cheaper but I don't talk or surf the internet that much that I'd...

Well I figure I'll post what I found out since no one replied. It might be obvious to others who use Word a lot, but I had to find out over a few days of pulling my hair out. The issue isn't with a specific version of Word but how .doc files save images. I had like 10-12 images in my book, they...

Anything? I looked up some other programs that I could use in the future to create ebooks. I have inDesign which I'd really like to use for books, but I'm not sure how good it would be for typical ebooks that don't have a lot of graphical elements. I looked up Pages, but seems like it's on par...

Hey all, I'm trying to upload a book to smashwords and I noticed I needed to get it down to under 5MB. I tried to compress the images down using mac, which is apparently not a feature so I had to do it at work using Word 2007. I was able to compress the images and get it down to 1.3MB which was...

Don't worry, Apple would be more than willing to upgrade you in return for next years salary paid in full. :lol: :shock:

Apple seems to have built this laptop to pretty much break if you try to fix it yourself, which is ridiculous. If say "well it's just glued" and try to pry it off you could risk either puncturing one of the batteries or snapping the touchpad cable thats directly under the battery. Oh and...

It looks great, other than the fact that they use all proprietary (sp?) hardware. That means no upgrading ram/SSD on your own. Everything is soldered in, hell you can't even replace the battery yourself because it's glued down and the trackpad cable is beneath it. I know Apple isn't know for...

What exactly does that do? It just clears the ram memory? *Edit* I looked it up, might actually get it. I'll try it out and see how good it works. I'm getting the :beachball: way too often lately, even though when I first got my MBP it was running like a champ.

Well I didn't mean to say it would replace a Wacom tablet. I know that a wacom tablet is specifically designed for that stuff. I mostly just want to use the iPad as a separate touch monitor and use a pen to have more precision when drawing/sculpting. I'll have to see how good it is. I mostly...

Has anyone done this here? I know people have done it before, but just wondering if anyone has personal experience doing so. I really like the idea of a small box like that to utilize as a media center, but I know out the box ATV doesn't support hulu, nor a lot of the things I wanted to use it...

I figure I might as well max out the ram, I could use the extra "power" especially with the programs I'm running. Lately I'm getting the pinwheel more often, and it's pretty annoying. Unfortunately I can't upgrade the video card, but that's where the hackintosh will come into use later on. I...

Honestly I'd rather just spend more time upgrading the components, I'm not looking to make some highly engineered super computer by any means. Modifying anything to fit is out of the question for me. Just want to have a nice fast desktop computer that looks good.

I'm just going to get an SSD to hold all the programs, and use the HDD that came with it. I don't really need a ton of storage in the laptop itself. I already have a few 500GB external HDDs. The trackpad is nice, but I love my trackball mouse. It's just so much more precise than anything I've...
