MacBook Pro noise and heat
Now when I have ordered a 15″ MacBook Pro I have started to read opinions and reviews of the machine (A litle too late for that..). There are numerous reports of whining and other noises emitted from it. It seem that it appears when the second CPU core is idle and on battery power, no noise when the power cord is plugged in. Sounds to me it’s an electric/magnetic field issues. I have worked with micro computers and I can tell you that having electrical circuits emitting noise is not a good sign. Apple says that it’s a powerful machine and a little noise is normal.
And some people are reporting that the MacBook gets so hot it is impossible keep it in your lap. Now the word “laptop” gets a new definition so from now on I guess we have to call it portable.
Well I expect mine to arrive early next week. You can expect a full report.

Don’t you just hate
… when you just bought a new computer and realize that there’is a new model out on the marked the week after your purchase. I bought an IBM Thinkpad R52 and I now really want a MacBook Pro, I just can’t get it out of my head. And if I mention this issue to my wife I just get the non-understanding: “But you just bought a new coumputer”. Women just don’t understand what a man needs. (more…)

This sems like a very nice buy, the public beta of Boot Camp will expire when Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard comes out, or Sept. 2007, whichever comes first.

Live Redesign
I managed to find time to redesign this site, it will continue further some time while I tweak things here ad there. Now there are support for gravatar for visitor comments. The colors are inspired from my own themes fGreen and f3Green which you can download at my themes page.
Looks as if I stepped away from the green theme, now I’m back in black.
fGallery version 0.2 released
Finally I’m done tweaking this plugin. Feedback is still appreciated.
