Should I put ghost Armor full body skin on my mac?

I just bought a MacBook pro 13 inch last weekend and even though it looks tough to scratch i would like to have some protection on it. So, I was considering ghost armor full body that would cover everything except screen and keyboard. Would that make my mac heat up fast?

The MBP case is definitely not tough to scratch — scratching it is easy. The hard anodized surface is extremely thin, and the underlying aluminum is a soft metal.
Nevertheless, I don't recommend using a skin or shell on it if you will run any highly processor-intensive software on a regular basis, because a certain amount of heat is dissipated by convection and radiation through the lower case. That heat loss would be inhibited by a skin. Probably not an issue as long as your usage is light, but if you're a gamer or you do a lot of video encoding, leave your machine naked.

Full Body Skin for 13" Macbook

To be honest I didn't know where to post this!
Does anyone know where I can get a full body skin for my macbook?
I'v seen one with a skin on the top, the screen surrounding, the keypad surrounding and the 2 side parts (where cd drive is and the usb ports etc)
does anyone know where I can get one like that?
Cheers

Hi R,
The aluminum shell of your MBP acts as a "radiator" to radiate heat away from your MBP, especially on the bottom. There is no question the "armour" will reduce the radiating effect, it's just a matter of how much. I'm not sure anyone can tell you that exact amount so you can balance it against potential scratches.

Heat effect of Full body skin protection on MacBook Pro 15 retina display

Hi I wanted to apply full body protection like ghost armour on my MacBook Pro 15 with retina... But I read somewhere that it may reduce the heat dissipation and that way increase heat in macbook... Please advice me with this concern... As I want my Mac scratch free too... Thanks.

What should I put on an external hard drive?

So I have a 13" Macbook Air with a 128 GB SSD. I installed a few games and I'm now at half full. I wanted to install WoW today (I know macs aren't meant for gaming) but seeing how it takes up 20GB, I decided against it.
Now I want to get an external hard drive to put any excess stuff on there so I can free up my SSD space and install WoW and SC2.
What should I put on my external hard drive? How would I go about putting the stuff on there? Obviously it'll load slower but for example I'd put photos and music.
Can you run games from an external drive? I know it'd be best if I just left the games on the SSD for the load time and to not have any lag but I'm just wondering.
Can you run programs such as iTunes from an HDD?
Finally, can make a windows partition on the SSD and put all my windows stuff on the same HDD that I'd use for my OSX?

Yep:

Should i put my table in my external style sheet?

Should i put my table in my external style sheet? if so how do i do this?
i'm having serious problems trying to stop my menu bar and header to stop jumping around when a switch pages. I realised i needed to create an external style sheet. however, when i extracted the ccs styles from my one of my pages (my homepage), there is only styles for my spry menu bar, nothing else. - however this doesnt stop my menu bar from moving around. all of my pages are use tables. so my menu bar and header are both 'td' rather than in a div or wrapper.
it seems as though nothing i try will stop my items from moving around. they are all exactly the same width and height in html and the same in css. I know about attaching style sheets, but i just cant seem to understand how to get everything aligned properly. I want my external style sheet to have my header at the top and centre, and my menu bar underneath and centre. How do i do this using a table? do i put the table into the external style sheet so that my table measurements etc are the same for each page? + how do i do this? Does anything else other than positions, colours, fonts etc go into my external style sheet? cos im aware that i use the html for the things i want to look different and every page, and the css for the things that i want to look the same. so which stuff goes in which? im getting really confused now, does my header and menu bar need to go in my external style as well as my html? :S
everything just seems to have gone horribly wrong, ive tried so many things, but everything i try simply has no effect. blahhh :/

and this is the external style sheet, which i extracted from my home page (the top code). what do i need to add to this?

How easy is Ghost Armor or Zagg to install without getting liquid IN the phone?

I am looking at getting the ghost armor for my iPhone (en route from China) and I am a bit nervous about putting on the front piece using a liquid activator. I am worried about getting liquid in the "ear hole". The only liquid that my iPod Touch has seen is a bit of rubbing alcohol to clean the screen with (works great -evaporates fast) every couple of weeks.
Anyway, can anyone tell me how easy, or hard, it is to install ghost armor or invisishield yourself? I saw invisishield has a booth at a local mall, but I just don't trust them with my phone and liquid - that is why I am considering doing it myself.

It is very simple to put on and the amount of liquid you use is very minimal and it is also a very fine mist. Its not like your soaking your device or leaving it sit in a liquid. I have put it on 8 different iPod touches, 3 droid phone and 4 blackberries with absolutely no problems. I would highly suggest it. Someone else said it is gummy---completely wrong!! When you take it off you can't even tell that anything was ever there and I know this because a sharpie marker opened in my bag and got green ink ALL OVER my iPod touch(among a few other things), I just peeled off the invisible shield tossed it in the trash and purchased another one to put on. Had it not been for that protection my iPod would of been destroyed. Honestly they make this stuff idiot proof and there is no reason to be scared. Very simple installation and I highly doubt Apple would sell it if it was going to damage the electronic upon installation. In my opinion the things that can happen to it without it on are MUCH GREATER, one small drop and you have a cracked screen with this stuff I don't worry.

Full body screen protector iphone 5

I'm getting a black iphone 5 tomorrow and I know about scuffgate. Tomorrow when I get the iphone I want to protect it immediately. I'm thinking about getting the spigen Screen & Body Protector Incredible Shield for the phone. It also has a film set for the sides of the phone but doesn't protect the chamfered edges. Would it still be a problem because i don't want the coating to start coming off. I'm making this thread because I don't want a case for the iphone I want it naked like a lot of people do.

I've had a full body case (Caze) and front screen protector since I bought my black iPhone 5. It has still scratched on the painted bezel in areas. I think it was a big manufacturing fault of Apple's as £700 is a premium price for what should be a premium product.

Can ghost armor damage my phone?

I had ghost armor put on my phone yesterday and today my phone battery went dead and when I charged it back up my screen quit working. My screen is now totally unresponsive. I was in the middle of typing an email when it died so am wondering of that could have had anything to do with it? 3
Just wondering if anyone has had issues with phones having hardware issues after ghost armoring it? Two weeks ago my blue tooth quit working after having it ghost armored so I'm wondering what's the deal? Four weeks ago my phone lost the ability to connect to my cell phone provider after doing the latest update. I'm on my second new phone in the last month and now it looks like I'm heading toward my 3rd. I did all the reset stuff and still doesn't work. i have a ton of apps on my phone. Could that be messing things up? I'm just sick of getting new phones and spending my evenings at the apple store.
Thanks,
Jason

Just 1 more thing can it drain your battery. Ive just recently been given a case & i just wanted to make sure before i use it. Thankyou.

1) When I go to the apple.com website my computer will either be really slow or freeze my whole system down to where I have to reboot my computer again. This does not happen all the time but when it does operate it is molasses slow.
By any chance, are you uswing Kaspersky security software?
If so, see:

Invisishield vs Ghost armor

For those who have used either of the two before which would you go with for the iphone 4. My father has invisishield and it seems to do its job really well. Have read some good reviews on ghost armor as well but have no first hand expierience.
Also I know they sell invisishield at best buy and I have read things online that say ghost shield is there as well but its not on best buys website. My question is can I only purchase the ghost armor from the website or is there a retail store that carries it?

I went with Zagg the invisishield and it was easy to put on and looks great and does the job, it protects the iphone really well and you
don't lose the look of the phone

You can use the same account on both - I use the same account on my devices. Generally it's best to have just the one account, as all purchases from the store are tied to the account that buys it - so any iTunes music that you have/will buy will be tied to that account.

Where should I put trustedprincipal.conf in

Hi experts,
We have BOE XI 3.1 in our server.
We configured trusted authentication in CMC of our server machine, and created a trustedprincipal.conf in D:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 of my client machine. I created a jsp file to access bo reports.
I can not approach http://bfphp:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp, just get alert after running the jsp file.
However, we put trustedprincipal.conf in our server machine and remove the file from my client machine, I can approach openDocument.jsp after accessing the jsp file.
Official document says trustedprincipal.conf should be put in client, but we tried it, logon fails. When I put it in server, logon succeeds.
My question is, if trustedprincipal.conf is put in server, can anyone who knows a user of BO system access to bo system via the jsp file. So how can I control authentication of client who access to BO system, and where should I put trustedprincipal.conf in?

HI,
this sounds like a general BusinessObjects Enterprise configuration topic. this forum here is for the Integration Kit for SAP.

If you are talking about iCloud email you shouldn't need to put anything in. Sign in in System Preferences>iCloud and check 'Mail' in the checklist there and it should set it up automatically.

Done 2 certifications. Should i put both logos in the resume

I have done 2 certifications. One for SQL (SQL expert 1Z0-047), another PL/SQL OCA (1Z0-147). I confused whether to only the PLSQL OCA logo in the resume or should I put both the logos. Could you please share your suggestion?

Did you check the title of this forum? How is this question related to Oracle database?
Anyways, it's your will and wish to put whichever logo you want to put on the resume. The only thing that you need to take care is to ensure that when you would be asked questions related to that certification, you would be able to answer them.

What mode should i put my computer in before travel

Ok, i will be bringing my macbook to school with me come this semester. what mode should i put the laptop in before putting it back into my book pack after a class to travel to another class. So im looking for a mode like sleep, completly shut down, etc. that will be safe to move the laptop around. preferably a mode that has a quick start up time so i can put it into whatever mode, travel then put it down and quickly restart taking notes. thanks

Relying on the Sudden Motion detection is not a good practice. The safest way to travel with your Macbook (and hard drive that spins) is to shut it down, anecdotal experience aside, it is the best practice. I work with peole who carry their PC laptops around running and they have no problems (except they heat up) but that is like saying, I don't wear my seatbelt and I have never needed...until you crash. Shut it down. It will not save that much time using sleep mode and restarting does some initialization that binary computers need.
That is complete untrue. Sleep mode puts the HDD to sleep, basically OFF (Not Spinning) so the SMS does not even come into play when in sleep mode.
If you carried your notebook with the lid/screen open and not in sleep mode then you do depend on the SMS to Dock the HDD heads when a sudden movement may/might damage the drive. This is not the case in sleep mode even with the lid/screen open.
