Question(s)-
My brand new 12" ibook G4 seems to make a lot of hard drive noise, even when I'm not doing anything. The noises sound pretty healthy- it's basically a constant, very soft whir (just the spinning, I'm sure) and an occasional clicking (not a "crap, I'm broken" clicking, but more like a "alright, let's kick these heads into place" clicking) every minute or so (sometimes longer).
I'm not trying to be goofy with my descriptions here, but after all I've read in these forums about clicking being bad, I wanted to mention that none of the noises mine are making sound deadly. Rather, I was thinking that maybe this is Spotlight's regularly scheduled indexing? If that's maybe what this is, does anyone know of a way to regulate Spotlight's indexing (make it less frequent or turn it off altogether unless you ask it to) in order to lessen hard drive access and in turn perhaps save battery life?
Any opinions that point to a faulty hard drive are also welcome, but I've had the ibook for a week now and have experienced no problems outside of both the hard drive and optical drive being noisier than I would have liked (seems like a common issue with these ibooks). The hard drive noises remind me of when my imac's hard drive kicks in from or settles down to a rest.
Thanks!

Yes, it should be coming from apple via VT, but who knows? I'd prefer that the middleman was simply cut out and you downloaded directly from Apple's website to the iBook.

Beyond that, I would try creating a new admin account (or logging in as one if you already have it) and using Software Update. It'd be an interesting test to see if the problem is relegated to your user or is a system-wide problem.

Only about 50 ipads today. 16gb and 32gb wifi only, no 3G ATT or Verizon.
A TON of people got skunked today.

Did anybody else get a software update on today, May 5th, on their Pros? I installed it and it restarted and it seems to have made some graphical changes.... something about the screen makes everything look slightly smaller; it feels like I have more screen real estate.
Is it just my imagination? Is there a changelog somewhere?

I am getting the same error message as shown below. I have a Linksys router and have done the port forwarding properly. I think this has to do with GRE packets, but I am not sure what is to be done now. Btw I am trying this out with my iMac and iphone.
I am also trying to set up a vpn tunnel so that I can view my cablevision channels on my Ipad while away from home. I followed the instructions but can't get it to work. I am using EASYVPN on an IMAC , but when i try to connect from my Ipad, i get the following messages logged in EasyVPN

Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?

Ya I've tried it on other systems and all works good. I seem to really be the only person having this problem the administrator said. Everything else I try to do works good as well, I mean websites. Have you ever heard of this happening before to other sites?

Unfortunately, you don't seem to realize that we're not talking about 'the rich.' JoeG4 was obviously talking about the large population of middle and lower class conservatives.
And yes, most giving, charity, is at least somewhat self-serving. (this might be a bit too Ayn Randian for you, but...) If for no other reason, giving to charity makes people feel good about themselves, gives them a sense of accomplishment and pride for assisting their fellow man. Does this mean that the act is any less genuine or valuable? I don't think so, but that's just me.
I apologise if I'm breaking your "rules" but I,m talking about the divide between charity i.e. helping those that are in dire need of help,they receive around 10% of U.S. charitable donations and the self serving tax racket with which the rich provide for them and theirs,the other 90%.In your somewhat confusing posts it appears it's OK to give to your own economic class for selfish reasons but not apparently to vote for a government which will pass legislation favouring your economic class. Incidentally by talking of lower and middle classes you are referring to social class not as should be apparent to most people economic classes.Also please refrain from quoting a romantic novelist in what should be a serious discussion.

Yep seeing these all over campus now, I'm hoping Apple takes some design cues from the Air and adds them to the MBPs, aka no DVD drive and instead fit a dedicated graphics card in the 13in model and remove the glass screen.
I kinda like the glass screen and the bezel. I know, I know, my opinion doesn't exactly jibe with most MacRumors commenters. But for me the glossy look is nice, and the black bezel frames the screen nicely. The Air didn't look quite as good to me. I'm also not entirely sure that I liked the wedge shape that much. It felt very flimsy, even though I know it's a solid product.

can you plug in the power cable both ways?
Yes you can. I have the see through satin black. Add no bulk and looks really smart as well

Hmm, yeah I think I've heard about that before. Thanks. I'll have to look around to see if there's a way to make it work with my mac, or I guess I could just use windows...

Yuck doing multi-touch gestures on a crappy plastic trackpad... The experience won't even come close to the glass MBP trackpad ;)
not exactly new. They have been doing the multi touch track pad for years now and now you think they re ripping off macs.....

AppleInsider Article: "The filing is credited to four Apple employees: Nick King, Duncan Kerr, Paul Herbst and Steven Hotelling."
Is this the type of thing Apple does? Thought they had more control over employee/press relations...
The whole article sounds a bit overloaded with info - is it April Fools?http://forums.macrumors.com/images/smilies/redface.gif
They just got all the information from the patent...they are incredibly extensive documents. And the employees credited are probably the patent attorneys that wrote the document. This has nothing to do with apple's control. April is not for five months...a bit premature.

Interesting indeed, I would love for the two companies to be in bed together... Interesting things for consumers might result. I see T-Mobile as a fresh alternative to Cingular... Plus, T-Mobile could use better designed phones, who better to hook them up with some Innovative ideas?;)

Is it worth this price or not?
Short answer: yes, it's a decent price for that machine assuming it has no cosmetic or functional issues.
Thinking of buying it but not sure yet... (I use an intel MacBook too, but I have always wanted a PowerPC mac :p)
If you just want a machine to fool around with for fun, this one ain't bad - but bear in mind that it is almost a technological orphan from Apple's perspective, as Apple is continuously moving away from supporting the PowerPC. It can't run the most current OS anymore, and software updates will dry up soon. It's still a good second machine though.

Coleman,
I appreciate the time and effort you put in to get this document together. Now I need to figure out a workable solution in windows.

No problem. I have windows 7 installed on my MacBook Pro. In the weekend I'll boot to windows and figure out a window solution.

There is some cool technology/dreaming being shown there..... but, I am Not going to use any technology to check my work schedule while I'm brushing my teeth. My work day does not start until I'm done with my morning, um, ablutions - I don't care how important the meeting or cool the technology.
I like the idea of putting your smart phone down to activate the table top displays. It bypasses the insecurity of having a room full of people watch you type your credentials. It also defines the initial area of display. If the default setting (perhaps set in the phone?) is, for eg, that the phone defines the top right corner then both the table top display know what the other wants.
I wouldn't want to read a book on something with the weight of a few sheets of paper. Too shaky (hand-shake). A book's weight uses inertia to absorb these very minor tremors. They may be minor, but they are fatiguing if you are trying to hold a page up for extended reading.
