I've been having this problem with my Macbook Pro for quite some time now, and it's absolutely infuriating. So far, I've found no solution. As it is out of warranty, I am loathe to take it to the...

This was the best answer (all of it) that I've heard so far, and quite possibly the most intelligent post in this thread. Thanks.

Ultimately, I'd be quite happy if Apple would just offer an...

I guess the primary difference between you and me, Simon, is that you believe that the company exists solely to make money, while I believe they exist to provide me with the products that I need,...

Actually, considering the size of the market for just this kind of computer, I think this is a very reasonable request. I think just asking them to remove one dual-core Xeon from the MP and selling...

I'm in the same predicament. I'm planning on the purchase of a new Mac in the coming Spring, but there's not a single machine in the current lineup that meets my needs. The mini isn't fast enough...

This whole problem is made worse by the fact that, when I try moving apps from place to place, I often get a 'copy' rather than a transfer. So I'm left with two copies, neither of which can be...

Well, logging in as root doesn't give me any more privileges than logging in as admin anyway, so what does it matter? At least, it doesn't give me the right to empty my own trash. Unless, of...
