Has anyone tried installing a HD lcd in their 15" MBP?

I was reading on a forum last night that if you buy a certain Sharp 15.4" monitor that's made for dells you can run the resolution 1920x1200 natively. (This is the same resolution as a 23" Apple cinema display). I think it would be awesome to have the real estate of a 23" display on your 15" screen.
edit: here's the link

obviously this won't be supported by apple.

I had a 1920x1200 15.4" dell... I will never, ever do that again. I needed a magnifying glass to read. My experience has been that the screen resolutions on Apple portables are ideal for their size (though I would have liked a slightly higher resolution on my 12" pb, I dare say). I can imagine someone would put a 1920x1200 screen on a 17" mbp but the experience would be less than pleasant.

Has anyone tried installing BC2.1 for Vista 64-bit in the Safe mode?

Before I go ahead, has anyone attempted to install the BC2.1 64-bit update for Vista using the Safe mode?
The thought occurred to me earlier, and before I bothered, I was wondering if it had been tried yet by anyone?
As with most others with Vista 64 bit, the exe runs, asks for permission and then dies. Not even a whimper

I attempted to install the BC2.1 in the safe mode, but it still did nothing.
In the normal mode, viewing the Task Manager, when I click the update, after a long while the Task Manager shows a message, something to the effect, "BC2.1.exe is waiting for administrator approval."
After I check the box in the approval window that it's OK to run, the warning in the Task Manager disappears and nothing reappears, meaning the process died.
The system logs don't show very much, but I did not bother too much with them.
This is an issue that Apple has to address. I am confident that they will.
Meanwhile I will post a note on the developers board about it.
http://developer.apple.com/contact/
I presume when it's fixed, the update will show up in the Apple Software Update window, just as the XP update appeared on my other MBP.
Until then, it's just a bit annoying.

Has anyone tried the Zeiss Screen Eraser on their iphone 5?

Carl Zeiss company is known for fine optical gear. When I tried locally to find a flat-weave microfiber cloth for cleaning my iPhone 5, all I could find was a kit with the cloth and a Zeiss Screen Eraser, made for cleaning LCD screens and touch screens. The Zeiss Screen Eraser contains a soft sponge moistened with a solution that does not contain alcohol or ammonia. The pictures on the package show what looks like a Kindle or iPad, a Blackberry-type phone, and a laptop. So far I have resisted trying it on the oleophobic screen of My iPhone 5, using only the microfiber cloth, which by the way is high quality, which you would expect from Zeiss. I would very much love for Apple to test the Zeiss Screen Eraser and see whether it is safe to use on iPhone screens. In the meantime, has anyone in the community been brave or foolish enough to test it themselves? Thank you.

Here's what Apple recommends:

Especially this part:
Keep liquids away from the product.

Has anyone tried installing the Google Voice and Video plugin?

Hi,
I wanted to check out the Hangouts feature at Google+, but I need the Google Voice and Video plugin for that. I tried unpacking the deb package supplied by Google and installing it manually, but the plugin does not work and Firefox just keeps crashing. Could anyone actually get it to work with Arch yet?

Sorry for not using the search, I see it's available in AUR... http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36308
Now trying to install from there!

Has anyone tried installing Solaris 10 in an iPod?

I wanna install Solaris 10 in my iPod and boot my system with that. Will I be able to do this?

A couple of weeks ago someone posted at blogs.sun.com
that they'd run live upgrade from their ipod, and it'd
worked.
Live upgrade lets you install a new version of the OS
in parallel with the currently running one, so yes, it works.

Has anyone tried to use Elements 9 on their Mac and had problems?

Trying to use Elements 9 on my mac, but find that the create and effects editing part of the package are not working. Does anyone else have this problem?

We have already uninstalled and re-installed it a few times, but it did'nt make any difference. Have also e-mailed Adobe about this but as yet have had no response. I know not all Mac users are having this problem, which is why its so frustrating.

Has anyone tried using the app Telnames for their mobile sites/storage?

Have been looking at EverWeb and lurking in the forums following the discussions regarding it. Downloaded the demo and it seems like more then I want to do. (Still using iWeb for my main site)
While looking for alternatives I saw Telnames on App Store. I would like to know if anyone has tried using/buying it? I will be working on a 6+ and building a Bed and Breakfast mobile site.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the info on symlinks. I pretty much already convinced the powers above me this was a bad idea because of the horrible performance and problems getting OS X to even recognize it as a home directory, but the symlink info is the nail in the coffin. We have had great success using windows file servers for our network home directories (we are a complete windows shop besides my macs) and I really didn't want to change anyways.

Has anyone tried to download Rosetta Stone to their iPad? Can it be done?

I'm going to be on an overseas flight and thought I'd learn Spanish during the 13 hours.

Seems like all Rosetta Stone app require Internet access. Some flights have Internet. Check with your airline to see if Internet is available and ask how much it costs.
Delta for instance uses GoGO Internet which cost $14.00 for a 24 hour period.

Has anyone tried the suggestion from the macfixit site

see my earlier post, "painfully slow connection".
Has anyone tried installing the combo 10.4.5 update from the mac support site.
my imac came with 10.4.4 so I assume autoupdate just installed the latest delta, but perhaps there is a problem with the installer and an incorrect library version was linked with the library. Just surmizing , but that could cause a problem.
Anyway reinstalling the update won't hurt anything I don't think anyway.

I tried it and it didn't do anything noticable. At first I downloaded the PPC version by mistake and it wouldn't accept it. A little more digging turned up the intel version. But again no change.
What I found that is working for me is setting up my router to work in "b" wireless mode instead of "g" or "b/g". It has solved the problem for now and since the speed to the router still exceeds that of my ADSL line I have noticed nothing but fast and consistent internet access.

Final Cut Pro X and Macbook with 9400M chip. Has anyone tried it?

I have a late 2009 Macbook with Nvidia GeForce 9400M graphics chip. I've got 4 gig RAM installed. Apple lists this chip as working with Final Cut Pro X. Has anyone tried it on a Macbook? Is the performance adequate or should I wait until I get a more powerful laptop?

Yep, I've got a Macbook with that chipset and it runs FCPX. It's not blindingly quick but it work.

Has anyone tried home sharing between mac and windows using parallels on the same machine?

I recently purchased a mac, and plan to set up parallels for windows and windows 7 so that I can use the Windows version of Over Drive Media Console from the library and download WMA files in windows (limitation with mac version for wma downloads). I would like to synch to iTunes on the Mac iOS, but will need iTunes available in Windows to transfer the books I download in WMA format from the library to my iphone. Has anyone tried this? Any success or suggestions would be appreciated!

In case anyone is interested, last night I installed Paralells, Windows, Overdrive Media Console on Windows, and then was able to download my book in WMA format. I was hoping parallels would allow me to crossover sync to iTunes on the Mac and have Overdrive recognize that I had iTunes open, but I had to choose Windows or Mac when connecting my phone through the USB and had to choose Windows in order for it to successfully transfer. I was able to get it to work it is now synced to iTunes in Windows. The nice thing was that it pulled in all my music/apps that I had set up in the Mac side, so I didn't have to go through that exercise again. I tested it on my old phone. Now I need to decide if I want to set up my current phone on Windows or Mac, it seems that once synched it only opens the device in windows, I haven't figured out how to force the choice between mac or window again. If I do windows, I can't take advantage of the cloud or iphoto/imovie directly. I'm totally new to mac, but I think I'll have to import my photos manually.

Has anyone tried to pack CPAN modules

i wanted to build yeemp
http://deekoo.net/technocracy/yeemp/
but it needs some modules from CPAN ... well i know how to get them for my machine over the perl-cpan shell, but this is not the arch-way ... has anyone tried to pack them to packages?

sarah31 wrote:
according to apeiro these files should not be installed. i believe they are just database module that cpan uses. there fore they are pointless in an arch package. perl packages can be alot more detailed than the one you post here. many do not have an easy ./configure&&make&&make install. often doing the make install part wil create an empty package as the files go directly to your computer.
just execute caution when building.
thanx, i will remove this file from the packages that i build from cpan, ok
i'm always first building packages as a user with very little access to the system ... to prevent scripts writing something to the wrong place --- and then switch to root to build them for true, so if a script wants to write something to the wrong place, i get a permission denied and i see what i have to change

Has anyone tried creating a plugin that you can type in a specific word, and if it comes up in the very top of the page (i think its refered to as the header) it closes the page or tab automatically?

Has anyone tried creating a plugin that you can type in a specific word, and if it comes up in the very top of the page (i think its refered to as the header) it closes the page or tab automatically? there is a program called POW! by AnalogX that does this, but its only good for IE. And Im a Firefox man. Can anyone look into this or maybe create a plugin that does what POW! does for IE? I will donate to the creater of a plugin that does that. Im so sick of pop ups that most pop up blockers miss.

The Firefox pop-up blocker is very effective. If you are getting a lot of pop-ups in Firefox, you may have picked up some Malware that is causing those pop-ups.

Has anyone tried running Dragon NaturallySpeaking (for Windows) on Mac Mavericks?

Has anyone tried running Dragon NaturallySpeaking (for Windows) on Mac Mavericks? I have finally given up on Dragon Dictate for Mac, which alas, after years of buying every new updated version, is still exceedingly buggy and does not begin to compare in quality to the PC version. I love my Mac, and don't like my PC at all, but the third-party voice dictation software for Mac is so pathetic, that I have wound up dictating on my PC, and then sending it to my Mac: an truly annoying and Baroque process. I was able to train over 120 words in Sanskrit word perfect on Dragon NaturallySpeaking, but on Dragon Dictate for Mac, I can't even get it to train my name. I know this is not an Apple problem, but I'm trying to find a way around by possibly running the DNS version on Windows on my iMac.
I have a hand disability, so I really do need to use voice dictation, both for dictating and navigating on my computer.
If anyone is doing this, are you using Boot Camp, VM fusion, or Parallels? How well does it work? Has anyone discovered anything else I ought to be considering, before giving this a try? I had tried running this on an old on 2008 iMac (with much less power), using Parallels, but it was incredibly slow. Now that I have a much more powerful iMac, I'm wondering whether it would be worth another try. As it will be quite an investment to purchase all this third-party software to get Dragon up and running, I was hoping to get a sense of how well it works, before plunking down the cash. I would be extremely grateful for helpful feedback.
IMac, Mavericks OS X 10.9.4, 3.5 GHz Intel core i 7, 8 GB 1600 MHz DD3, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12, Dragon Dictate 4.0.2

You cannot run a Windows application on a Mac unless you run Windows on the Mac.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
   1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows
         XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. For Boot Camp
         4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
         instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
         installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
         installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the
         computer into OS X or Windows.
     2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
         Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software
         virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
         with OS X.
     3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
         or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that
         enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
     4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
         applications without having to install Windows. The
         Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
     5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
         as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
         It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
         Fusion.
Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Benchmarks of all of the above except Crossover can be found in Benchmarking Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox Against Boot Camp - The Mac Observer. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.
