I have not done an SSD per say, but I have made a little side business upgrading the hard drive on 2010 Mac Mini's and selling them on ebay. After having done 10 or so of these, yes you do need to pull the logic board out slightly. The hard drive will not lift up enough to give you the angle you need clear the logic board with out pulling it out.
That said, only pull it out enough to see a small gap of air between the black beisl in the rear and the alum case.
WRT the heat sensors... I have found that the smallest amount of rubber cement works well if you you loose the adhesive when transferring the sensor. 8/10 times you will have plenty of stick left though and wont need to add any.
The black cover I have also assumed was there for air flow as well. If the SSD has a smooth surface, and not logic board to short, you probably can do away with it.
I will say that the OWC video is dead on. Follow it precisely. PAY ATTENTION TO THE SENSORS ON THE HDD. THEY BREAK VERY EASILY!!
I found that out the hard way. I have a new sensor on the way as we speak.
I second everything tek is saying. He's a smart guy :)
TEK - QUESTION - the glue...you can use standard rubber cement? It doesnt have to be a special kind of thermal glue or anything??

Look for the easy button under the type menu. Seriously, selecting the correct type to go with a mark, or use as a particular style is specific to what you are trying to say. Your question implies that you don't know what you are doing. Why don't you prove me wrong and post some examples of your work that includes type you think works... and type that doesn't.

Whats the different between these drivers and the latest and greatest that are available on the Canon website?
I would like to know the same thing.
BTW, the Canon MP990 is the best printer I have ever used with a Mac.

Oh I would definitely advise you to switch to Earthlink. AOL is satan, I had to report them to the BBB because they refused to give me a refund when I cancelled service. Then, 3 months after I cancelled, they re-activated my account and started trying to draft money from my credit card. It was a big nightmare and my bank had to suspend AOL from charging me.
Earthlink is great because they are simple and don't BS you all the time. The only downside is they try to send you junk mail about their services, even when you don't want it. But I don't use their email, so it's not a problem.
Good luck!

Haven't had experience with either kb; I heard mechanical keys are better for typing. Still, if you are looking for a nice keyboard, you could try the Kensington Slimtype. It's nice, and doesn't cost a lot.
Sorry for the short post; don't know what else I could say.

Do you think the online reservation scheme is to better gage how much inventory they will possibly need at any given Apple store on opening day? I would be surprised if they had 2 separate lines. One reserved and one for those who did not reserve. That would be too smooth.
Anyone else have an opinion on that?
That's exactly what AT&T is doing, 2 separate lines. One line, for pre-orders starting at 7am. The other for people who want it and haven't paid, starting at 7am. When AT&T opens for normal business hours, lines will be merged and priority given to those who pre-ordered.
This is a bit different than Apple stores tho as AT&T has taken money I believe. Apple stores simply took reservations so I wonder how that will all pan out.

Also, what is the difference between these two 17" displays as shown on cnet?
http://shopper-search.cnet.com/search?qt=apple+studio+display&subj=apple_studio_display&part=google-cnet&tag=3785 :confused:
One has the part number M7649ZM/B and the other one is M7649ZMA.
There's either no difference or one has chrome Apple logos (front and back) and the other has graphite Apple logos. Most likely no stores have the graphite logo ones in stock and those store links would get you a chrome logo monitor.

1) The ongoing offer (open every day, a lot of stock) can be seen as a hidden price cut.
2) Clearing out stock may be a sign of updates coming... :rolleyes:
So some of this could be new stock that's just repacked for a low price? Possible I suppose.
Although I wonder where they've dug up the 3rd gen iPods from. Think they've found a stock room that they thought they'd lost? :eek: ;)

Now that we've upgraded the forum software (see announcement), users can create personal albums with photos or other images.
Albums
Each user's photos are organized into albums. Each album has a name. Each photo has a title and can have comments from other users.
Each user has an album page that shows one photo from each album and lets you click to view that album.
There is a main album page (http://forums.macrumors.com/album.php) (Choose Pictures & Albums in the Community menu) that shows a selection of albums.
Creating albums and photos
The steps are straightforward. To add an album, go to the main album page and click Add Album or go to your own profile page and click Add Album or Show All Albums (on the right-hand side of the page).
When you create an album you can choose whether it is public (all site visitors can see it) or private (only your contacts and friends can see it).
Once you are looking at an album, click Upload Pictures. It works like the Attachments feature for forum posts.
While viewing a photo you can click Edit Album or Edit Pictures to change an album name, delete an album, change or delete a picture, etc.
One photo in each album is designated the "album cover", the photo that appears in your album display. Choose it when you add a photo or click the "This is the album cover" button when editing the photo's page later.
When you are in the edit view of one of your photos, you'll see Picture URL and BB Code boxes. You can copy the text and paste it into forum posts to put a link to your photo, or the photo itself, in your post.
The "Me" album: photos of you!
We've established a convention that will make it fun for users to find photos of other forum users.
If you would like to post photos of yourself, create an album with the name "Me" -- make sure it has exactly that album name -- and use it to post one or more photos of yourself, alone or with other people.
You can still post photos of yourself in forum posts, in other albums, or use your own photo as your avatar or profile picture. Having a "Me" album is completely optional and voluntary. However, please do not post photos in an album named "Me" unless you are in those photos, since that would be misleading. We know that anybody can pretend to look like anyone else at a forum site, but we ask that you follow the guideline if you choose to create a "Me" photo album. Thanks!
Netiquette and Rules
Post only photos that are in good taste, i.e., that would be acceptable in a forum post. If you see an inappropriate image, use the Report Picture link to report it to the moderators.
Use the photo comment feature for friendly or at least businesslike messages. It is not the place to start arguments or make negative comments about what others choose to display. Also, keep in mind that one user's flirting may be another user's harassment. Don't treat "Me" albums as a "hot or not" invitation, since it may not be welcome.
Feedback
The photo album feature is new. If there are bugs, glitches, or problems with these features, please let us know and be patient while we try to smooth things out.
Your comments and suggestions about the album feature are welcome.

heh, i used to agree. listen to their latest album. it's much better than the others. ;)
I'd like to agree with you, I actually thought Clocks was a decent song. But then I noticed their new single "speed of sound"? sounds exactly the same, so I'm guessing the rest of the album does too.
Besides I'm hookt on the Dandy Warhols for the time being :D

Hi,
I've got a 2007 Aluminium iMac and I've noticed these last few weeks that it is spinning the beach ball a bit more than before and has to have a little think about things when I ask it to do something from time to time.
Time for a spring clean I think. :D
So, can anyone point a tech-savvy person towards some good articles or forum threads on how to get my Mac operating again as it should?
My machine was running Tiger when I bought it and was upgraded to Leopard then Snow Leopard. I've never done a reinstall and to be honest I was hoping I wouldn't have to. I'm 100% comfortable with messing with files, folders, plists and pretty much anything else on the Mac. If I'm honest I'm just looking for a cheat sheet for regaining performance on my machine without having to figure it out for myself... :o
Thanks in advance for any help,
Craig.

I believe that AT&T started handling all the June 14th-15th pre-orders on the 24th, they did not allow walk-ins with out a pre-order. All the phones for sale on the 29th will be first come first serve, though I have not heard if there is a limit per person. They will also start accepting online orders again too.

Hmmm... the low lite thing is a little troublesome, as I plan on mostly recording my and the guys I play with on gigs. Sometimes the lighting's not too great.
I wonder if the Zi8 is any better? Similar feature set but without the waterproofing.
They don't really give much specific information about the lens on the Zx3 on the Kodak website...
I think you'd be better off with a real camcorder. They have much bigger sensors/lenses and hence better low light performance.

Okay, I'm no newbie but I am stumped on this. Just got a new iPad 1. It came loaded with 3.2.2 (blow out pricing at Verizon). From all my reading, I can't jb this firm version. So, I dl'd the iPad 1,1 4.2.1.ipsw file so I could utilize the Greenp0is0n app (which, I gather 'used to' work on 3.2.2 but now requires 4.2.1). I shift-click (PC) to install that and Apple won't let me (natch, cuz it isn't 4.3.1). Since this is new, with unbreakable current firmware, I have no shsh blobs I can reference saved. So, changing the hostfile won't help me as there is nothing a cydia I can retrieve.
Question, in short, what do I need to do to jb this? :confused:

5870.
A 5870 is (on paper) twice as fast as one 5770. Two 5770s would be even in theory, but crossfire mode always has a speed hit, so the 5870 would beat two 5770s in crossfire.
Plus you have to deal with a more "exotic" configuration with crossfire.
