Wow, looks like you guys get some nice extras over in Asia. I bought mine here in the USA, and the only "extra" I got was the laptop sleeve case.
As for your questions.....
Turbo boost from Intel is sorta set to automatic. It will boost based on the program you are running on the system. As for Cooler Boost 2.0....I don't remember seeing that on my GS70.
Killer Wireless is always on. On average, I get downloads of 4.6-5 MB a second on Steam. So you don't need to do anything special to get it working.
As for your HDD selection....
I have the 256 GB SSD/16 GB RAM edition, so I keep my SSD clean except for system related programs. The only programs I have installed on the SSD are things like Office 2013 Professional Plus, and smaller programs like the Starcraft Anthology USB. You'll want to install everything on your Data drive, since this was made to store all of your games, music, videos, etc.

MSI GS70 Locking the F3 Features

Laptop: MSI GS70 Stealth Windows 8.1
I can't remember what its called when you press F3 when you boot up the laptop.
So I am going off to college and would like to be able to password everything, so far I have my normal login and the BIOS locked, but as far as I can tell someone could potentially wipe my hard drive by just pressing F3 when booting up.
Is there any way to place a password on that so no one can access it?

Apart from setting passwords did you actually made it to ask in any boot? A bit strange for me as this shouldn't happen. In my case after setting up password, no matter what you wanted to do, it would always ask before letting anyone in (made my step father drive mad as he couldn't check what I do on my NB )
Speak to MSI about this, and if they don't help you with this with simple solution, make a request for custom BIOS in NB section and tell what you need to be disabled or locked. Just make sure you will be able to use the recovery IF needed.

What are the best settings to use for the newest AirPort Extreme (AC wifi) with my optimum online service provider?

I have the current generation of the AirPort Extreme and a handful of devices that utilize the new 5Ghz A/C frequency. My internet speeds were blazing fast when I had first set it up but lately it has been lagging terribly. I was told that changing my dhcp did help, which it did it seems like it might be back to its normal speeds but I just want to know what are the best settings to configure for the airport so that I can get the most out of my service on all my devices? I'm using a CAT 6 cable which does help, I have a guest wifi setup with a wifi password which I understand will slow it down a little. Can anyone just point me in the right direction or just give me a step by step guide on what settings to configure? Should I really consider turning off the guest network?

I am assuming that you are looking to configure your network to provide the highest level of bandwidth possible for your network clients. If that is the case, the following are a few things to consider:
The Internet modem should support Gigabit Ethernet. That is the Ethernet connection between the modem and your 802.11ac AirPort Extreme should be Gigabit Ethernet.
Use CAT-5e or CAT-6 Ethernet cables between all wired connections.
Only expect 802.11ac performance with 802.11ac clients in the same room as the base station.
Eliminate or significantly reduce any forms of Wi-Fi interference on both the 2.4 & 5 GHz bands.
When streaming, especially HD video on your local network, use wired connections between the host and player devices when possible.
Other than the above suggestions there are no "magic" settings that you can make on your AirPort. Note: The Guest network shares the same bandwidth as the "main" network. Unless you have a network goal to provide this type of network, it is best left disabled.

What is the best external hard drive for the MAC Book Pro with Retina?

What is the best external hard drive for the MAC Book Pro with Retina?
I was looking at WD MY PASSPORT FOR MAC and Toshiba. I want something that will work best with time capsule! Suggestions on the best external hard drive would be greatly appreciated!!!

A Time Machine backup drive should be substantially larger than the system drive. If you have a 128 or 256 GB SSD then a 1 TB drive will suffice. If you have a 512 GB SSD then a 2 TB drive will suffice. As leroydouglas indicated any brand other than WD will do.
For 1 TB drives PlotinusVeritas gives some great suggestions here:

A 2 TB drive sold by Apple:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/H9378ZM/A/lacie-2tb-usb-30-porsche-design-p923 3-desktop-hard-drive
$130
A 2 TB drive just as good for only $92.

What is the best settings to use in the export manager when exporting from Aperture 3.5 to Photoshop cc. tiff? psd? 16bit? dpi?

What are the best settings to use in the export manager when exporting from Aperture 3.5 to Photoshop cc for editing?
Should I use tiff or psd?
8bit or 16bit?
How many dpi?

That will depend on the photometric resolution of your originals. For jpegs it would be a waste of space to convert them to a higher resolution than 8bit, but if your images actually have already more than 8bit, you will want to preserve this quality. Then he 16bit format will help to prevent color clipping.
Both tiff and psd will preserve the lossless workflow. With Photoshop as external editor I would use he psd format for better support of layers and transparency, e.g., when you want to create watermark files.
The dpi will only matter, when you export the file for printing.

The best version of Safari in the version 3 ?

When I upgraded 10.4.8 to 10.4.11 two years ago, I believe all I did was just download from Apple, install -restart. I don't remember doing any archive/install or things that take 1 hour or so to do.
Is it that simple ?
Also, I did upgrade directly from 10.4.8 to 10.4.11 (did not take 10.4.9 and 10.4.10 )
I mention that because in O.S I remember I had to upgrade 3 version, even if I kept it only for a few minutes, when I went from OS 9.0.4 to OS 9.2.2 (9.1 --> 9.2--> 9.2.2)
It was advised to do so either by Apple or by people here on discussion.
I guess it doesn't matter with OS X. And I went from Safari 3.04 directly to 3.2.1
I have some problems for months now (slow, beachball) which I will post later.
I have another drive that is still on 10.4.8 and Safari 3.0.4 and I want to upgrade that to 10.4.11 and either keep Safari 3.0.4 or something newer.
what is the best version of Safari in the version 3 ? For someone who has 10.4.11 ? Anything from 3.0.4 to.. whathever but not 4.0

Well, you must have been upgrading
But of course!
not all version are equal; some are stable, some are full of bugs
Never noticed. What I did notice, and continue to notice, is that not all third-party 'enhancers' and input managers are kept compatible with the latest version/s of Safari, and that is the root cause of 98% of problems some users have with any version of Safari.

Whats the best anti virus software at the moment?

I need to install virus software on my laptop, can anyone help me out with the best one to use at the moment.

I was using kaspersky internet security 2010. But due to some reason or another it wasnt getting rid of a keylogger I had downloaded from somewhere. After installing Avast! antivirus it instantly got rid of it and I shortly uninstalled Kaspersky afterwards.
Not to mention its free, the reviews on cnet give it 4.8/5 stars

[AMD] Whats the best BIOS for overclocking on the K8N Neo-2 Platinum

any one know which one is best.
thanks

I have no idea what biosversion that is the best in general for OC the K8N Neo2 P.
I use 1.5 and it´s the only version I´ve used.
I believe not many people have tested OC potential for all 6 versions 1.0 - 1.5.
( even more if you include the beta´s).
I would say OC potential depends more of what hardware you are going to use.
Good RAM and a good CPU stepping are in most cases more important then biosversions.

HT1414 I had my ipod touch off and when I tried to turn it off the best I could get was the apple logo than that went out. I can't get it come on at all. It was working fine earlier and nothing has happen to it.

I tried to turn on my ipod touch and the best I could get was the apple logo and even that went out. I tried charging it with no luck. It had charge yesterday when I turned it off but now I can't get anything at all. Any suggestions???

If the reset does not work try the remaining items:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I'm buying a new Macbook Pro this week and am wondering what is the best way to copy over the software I have from my existing Macbook Pro to the new one? eg. Photoshop and Office etc. I no longer have the CDs.

I'm buying a new Macbook Pro this week and am wondering what is the best way to copy over the software I have from my existing Macbook Pro to the new one? eg. Photoshop and Office etc. I no longer have the CDs.

Ya know what I'm on a brand new MBP just about 24 hours old and you know whats been working amazingly for me. I have a 27inch iMac as well and i've just connected it to my network and been dragging files and apps across the network onto my new MBP. Its really working fast and its flawless. You could always do that option, Just go into sharing options and turn them on for both Macs. Then just click and drag. Of course they have to both be on the same network for this to be possible.
Look at my network.
Shared is what your looking at. I click on there see all my computers files and then drag the ones i want form its folder to my MBP folders. Hope that helps if your looking for a very simple way on a wireless network.

What is the best resolution for pics in the drop zones of idvd?

What is the best resolution for pics in the drop zones of iDVD?
Also: iDVD always seems to align a pic to the left, can I change this anywhere?
thanks

Hello, Hans.
Re: drop zone pic resolution - I generally don't go below 1000 pixels wide (iDVD will resize these images to a slightly smaller format, but I've controlled the largest part of the downsizing in Photoshop Elements).
The alignment in iDVD is goofy. The best I've achieved is trial and error -- adding blank background or cropping my image in the downsizing process (see above) to position my image.

I can't get good Verizon service in the Pa mountains. I have to go 12 miles to the nearest town to make a phone call. What gives? I thought that Verizon has the best coverage of any of the big companies.

I am now in the Pa mountains and I can't get any Verizon wireless phone service. I thought that Verizon had the best coverage of any of the big companies. Why can't I use my smartphone?

I just recently moved from FL (where I had great service) to PA. My zip is 17814 and I have a Samsung Galaxy III phone which really doesn't work anywhere except when I go 2 the nearest town. I am most annoyed because my neighbor has a Sprint phone and he can get service even at my house! I hope I don't have 2 get another cell phone while I am in PA...I have been a Verizon customer 4 many years.

2010 iMac 2.93 i7 27" or 2011 2.8 i7 21.5" - which will suit better long-term? I do a fair amount of audio, video editing and photoshop, but I have a limited budget. What's going to give the best bang-for-buck for the next 3-5 yrs?

I do a fair amount of audio, video editing and photoshop, but I have a limited budget. What's going to give the best bang-for-buck for the next 3-5 yrs? My current machine is a 13" Macbook unibody 2.4 Core 2 Duo w/ 4Gb Ram so it's time to move forward with more power and screen real estate!

Hello, Jeff
I could never edit on a 13" screen. I'm currently using a 17" MBP i7 Early 2011 as a fast replacement to my aged 20" Intel iMac.
Both systems are not that far apart on stats and you will find that processing HD video will rely highly on the read/write to your storage. Myself, I'd be eye balling the 2011 for the Thunderbolt port so HD Video export/compression doesn't take forever! Currently processing a finished HD project for DVD uses at most 20% of my total CPU capacity. The FW800 drive is the big bottleneck! (I know I need at least a RAID to see a real speed boost).
How good your eyes are and your usage style would dictate if the difference in screen size make a difference to you.

What is the Best Blue Tooth headset for the i-phone 3 G? And why?

Could anyone please tell me what the best Blue Tooth headset for the I-Phone 3 G is, quality and comfort wise, I have tiny ears and don't like the headset that they give with the i-phone it hurts in my ears! If there is a headset that is super comfortable, can you please post and also tell me the pros and cons. Thanks

just opinions now.
I drive a truck so I use a Blueparrot BT150. Crystal clear reception, and no one, and I have asked, can tell that I am on a headset. Best noise cancelling mic on the market in my opinion. BUT, it is bigger than most headsets and some people don't like that.
On the smaller side...finally found what my wife and I think is the best bang for the buck for hers. The Jabra BT 530 Blackmagic. Its small, lightweight, and from my experience talking to her, an extremely good noise cancelling mic.
