    It turns that Kensington makes a pretty slick one.

  14. 3rd party power adapter on Dangerous Apple Power Adapters? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    After a bit of searching, I found an alternative to Apple's power adapters. This one sells for $50 (much cheaper than Apple's). I'm sure there are other companies doing the same thing as NewerTechnologies. Of course, as I mentioned in a previous comment, you could built your own using this Apple tech note.

  15. Apple posted the schematics on their site! on Dangerous Apple Power Adapters? · · Score: 3, Interesting

  16. My iBook G4 has the same problem! on Apple Faces Up to the MacBook Whining · · Score: 1

    Whenever the CPU is idle, an audible tone is emitted from beneath the left side of the of the keyboard. This tone has a frequency of approximately 6 KHz. Any use of the trackpad or keyboard (i.e. sending interrupts) causes this tone to become intermittent, but still present. As soon as user input ceases, the tone returns to a stable state. Other thing which affect the tone are my Energy Savings setting and whether I'm using any Firewire devices.

    A piece needn't make a statement to be considered art.

  21. Re:Windows only - BOO! on GameDev.net Launches Four Elements Game Contest · · Score: 1

    By Windows only, I mean that only MS Windows compatible entries will be accepted. In other words, if you're part of the crowd that can't morally justify running (let alone developing for) Windows, then you can't participate in the contest.

  22. Everyone should upgrade to 2.1!!! on Web 2.0 As A New Wave of Innovation? · · Score: 1

    Version 2.1 updates for Web, Wave and Innovation have just been released as a single service pack! MAJOR bugs were squashed.

  23. Windows only - BOO! on GameDev.net Launches Four Elements Game Contest · · Score: 1

    Rule #10: The entry must be able to run on Microsoft Windows to qualify. In other words, standard Windows executables, Flash, browser-based games, etc. all qualify as long as we can use the entry on our judging machines.

  25. where's the controversy on Nintendo's 'Wii' Just A Marketing Gimmick? · · Score: 1

    I don't see how any of this is controversial. Now if Nintendo decided to name their product something offensive or, THEN the dubbing would be controversial.
