I have a 2010 15in MacBook Pro. I've gotten into high def video finally. Last night I was watching Saw VII in HD (and other 720p/1080p movies lately) and I noticed it started to lag. I looked and I had like 27mb of ram left. I was about an hour into the movie. So, I restarted my PC thinking it...

I'm starting to get into audio, finally. I've always used basic earbuds and IEMS. 6-7 months ago I bought some Skullcandy, and even though they aren't audiophile material, they sounded much better than anything else I've ever heard. This has prompted me to pick up some Grado SR-60i headphones...

I have a 2010 i5 macbook pro. The SD card reader on it has always worked up until lately. Today I was looking into it and if I reset the System Management Controller (SMC) it works.. but only once. I don't want to have to reset that every time I want to use my SD card. Anyone have any ideas...

I have the 15in 2.52ghz i5 macbook pro. Whenever I render a video using Final Cut Pro or iMovie it uses between 50% - 75% of my processor. Today, I was using Handbrake to convert a video just for my itouch. I was watching the temps go up and was okay with it around 80-85c, but then I saw this...

Does anyone else have the HAB or HA (cause the HA is very similar) with WIFI issues? Under W7 it kicks every PC on my network off except itself. Under Linux it runs, and doesn't kick anyone off, but is freaking slow. When I use a USB wifi dongle (belkin) it runs fine. I don't want to return it...

Okay, so, my mom Toshiba Quosmio LCD does just what the title says. Sometimes it goes out, sometimes the backlight flickers like a florescent bulb that has gone bad. I read that it seems to be a simple fix; that possibly just the bulb went bad and if i can get one, i might be able to replace...
