Does that mouse in front of your iBook use the iBook's built-in Bluetoooth? & What mouse is it?

Cheers,

Daniel.

Yeah its the Logitech MX900, tis connected to the iBook via Bluetooth :) Came with my DiNovo but I decided to get a new mouse for my PC and use that for the laptop :)

Heres my full setup!

(Sorry for the Windows PC in the pic, I didnt want to go behind my monitor to hook up the MBP cable...)

What you see is a 2.0GHz/1GB/Radeon X1600 Mac Book Pro, with a Logitech MX510 mouse. It's also blue-toothing to my Motorola V710 seen by the Dell FP1808 display.

My PC isnt anything special, 3GHz P4/1.5GB RAM/Geforce 6800. Also, some generic Logitech speakers which are most used by streaming music from the MBP. Logitech MX518 Mouse. The MacBook Pro is a MAJOR advancement!

An iPod for completeness, and my Apple Remote is under the monitor, is its visible.

Towards the left, lies my Canon printer, a stack of 100 CD-R's and DVD-R's, an Linksys WRT54GX2 Router, and hiding is a RCA Cable modem given to me by comcast. Go 15mbit!

PS - Go KeR for making the Super Metroid HD Wall! I love it man!

I know that this is going to sound weird, but can anyone with a 12'' ibook take a photo of the screen with a website open? I'm close to buying the ibook i've been wanting, but the only store selling them near me won't let me even touch the damn thing, and i'd really like to see how well i can read anything

thanks in advance

I've had this conversation with a friend a couple of days ago... with the new specs i'm expecting the new macbook to go into the 1500? range, and that's too expensive for me. The ibook does what i want it to do, i'll leave the power-tasks for my deskto:p:p

Going by recent price trends, the macbook will launch at the same price or very close to the current model, you will be shooting yourself in a month or two when the new ones are released

The ibook suits my needs/tastes perfectly, and i don't like the idead of spending that much money in rev. a hardware. I know the laptop will be obsolete within a year or two, but if it does last that much i think i got my money well payed :p

So can anyone help me with this foolish request?

thanks again

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By ikjadoon · Posted

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Danielx64 · Posted

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
