No wonder.. btw the battery hw u charge ? Will u use till certain % then plug in the adapter or plug in all the way

Well for me, I just charge normally. As in if outside then no plug then I will use battery. If at home most of the time is plug into the power socket. Sometime just use the batt for 2 to 3 hours then charge it again. Nothing big, then if on 2nd year battery died or before apple care finish, ask them change battery for me.

For app wise
- geektool (run command line for beautifying desktop)
- bettertouch tool
- better snap (make the windows resizing like in windows 7)
- smcnfancontrol
- coconut battery

those are for the systems and of course other app like netbean (PHP), Adobe (photoshop, dreamweaver), MYSQLWorkbench and you know the rest. hahahaha.

ps - most of the app, I go to their website and download it.

Yeap, the name sounds cute. However it is a awesome program! It tell you how good or how suck your battery is. hahaha.


@shawn_sboi , do you buy the textmate ? I'm using a free one like textwrangler now.


ps - btw how do you guys uninstall something so that its clean? As in without leaving folders behind. I'm using app zapper atm.

Any app better or ways better to do it ? Thanks!

 

[davi502]

Best way would be via Finder aka manually moving associated files to Trash.

Manually is the way. check the link i posted on macrumors

yes i bought textmate. I do use textwrangler free one.. but it doesnt have project spaces like textmate.

I am very used to open my text editor with all my available text files i opened.

hi, i've just done a snow leopard installation on a new hardisk for my gf's macbk 13'' 2.4ghz core 2 duo and updated to 10.6.8. I wanna ask if, Facetime is included free? Or it's included free for lion?

 

[negativzero]

Facetime should be included with 2010mbp onwards. If not, you have to pay 99c from app store.

 

[evolute8]

Yes. But it would be better to get a retractable usb extension cable: http://img.alibaba.com/wsphoto/v0/365991482/Retractable_USB_Extension_Cable.jpg_200x200.jpg.

However if you wanna connect portable HDDs, you should check out the iHub in the Mass Order section.

Have u seen retractable ones sold in singapore ?

 

[davi502]
