This baby burns... for real (overheat problem)

I just had in my hands for a few hours this new laptop. He's sure pretty fast on the internet and very fluid on other basic apps(e.g. GarageBand, Iphoto).Did not see much difference with my PB anyway except for the fact this one looks more cool. But I'm not very good at benchmarking.
It runs hot anyway. Very HOT. After 30 mins the part closer to the power button and generally all the area under the screen feels like is going to melt down in minutes. My friend is really worried about this, mostly because it bought it in the States and doesn't know if he'll receive assistance over here in italy too..
Question is.. is it a common feature or do you think it is just like that and he should not be worried about it?

2.0ghz 13 inch White macbook
this baby does burns.
i Just purchased mine 2 days ago.
I checked the vent there was no plastic cover blocking the way
I just leave it there with sleep mode for 40 min and i begin to check all over, everywhere else steems to be fine but the buttom of left(opposite side of the power button) was extremely HOT! I almost caught my pants on fire when i put it on my lap. I hate to return this macbook but overheat problem is way over image.

Is this BBM message for real?!?!

I just got this BBM message forwarded to me : Message from Jim Balsamic (CEO of RIM Blackberry) we have had an over usage of user names on Blackberry Messenger. We are requesting all users to forward this message to their entire contact list. If you do not forward this message, we will take it as your account is invalid and it will be deleted within the next 48 hours. Please DO NOT ignore this message or blackberry will no longer recognise your pin. If you wish to re-activate your account after it has been deleted, a charge of 25.00 will be added to your monthly bill. We are also aware of the issue involving the pictures updates not showing. We are working diligently at fixing this problem and it will be up and running as soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation. Is this for real? I noticed that recognize was spelled wrong and it just didn't seem to make sense, but who knows anymore? I don't even know how to forward a message through BBM if I wanted to. Not sure what to do with this one. Any help anyone can give would be much appreciated! :-)

ajhaes, greetings and welcome to the forum.
1. This same question has been asked in the forum here dozens of times.
2. The Co-CEO (not CEO) of RIM is named Jim Balsillie, not Balsamic (which is an aged vinegar produced in Italy); secondly, the company name is BlackBerry, not Blackberry, and finally if you think RIM monitors your BlackBerry Messenger messages to know if or not you re-send that message, don't you think RIM could read all of your messages? Would you put up with that?
3. Do you currently get a bill from BlackBerry to which they can add 25.00 to? Users are normally billed by their mobile service provider, not RIM or BlackBerry.
So, what do you think?
Solution? Delete the user from your BBM contacts who was stupid enough to send the message to you.

Is this Phishing or for real?

Received a message that looks like it came from the iTunes Store. I went to the iTunes Store, clicked on "Check for available Downloads", and entered my AppleID. It seems all media has already been downloaded. Has anyone else seen this? Is this just another Phishing Expedition? Lot of posts about hacked iTunes accounts these days. Thanks.
"Dear XXXXX,

Howdy,
I also did get a similar email to the 2nd one (cdboehmer's post) indicated in this , however, in my case, it was in English as it should be, and it is real. In my case, it was apparently a notification regarding Apples Sale's information, which I do only rarely log into and I do have an account with due to my affiliation with Apple.
Of course, It's always good to be on the safe side, and ask if your not sure it's a a fake, say, here on these forums or where ever you can get some good advice, and remember, if you get an email with a 'link', instead, you can always type in a URL manually, instead of clicking on a link that may or may not take you to where it looks like it will take you, but could be a fake made to look like the real site to fake you out.
Some applications also will show you the REAL underlying URL for the link, if you hover the mouse over the URL/link for a few seconds, and if it's not going to the right place but some other bogus web site, then it is most likely phishing/spam/UCE, etc...
I was also able to validate in the email headers that it did come from Apple (although that too can be spoofed and could be lies).
In this particular case, it's legit.
The original and real email:
==============================================================
From: [email protected]
Subject: First notification:your Apple account has been inactive
Please log in to your Apple account to avoid deactivation
Our records indicate that your account has been inactive for 90 days. To keep your account active, you need to log into your account at least once every 90 days.

(the link here is: https://portal.apple.com/, which is real.)
Thank you,

Hope that helps,

Is vision development module in labview 8.6. sufficient for real-time image acquisition and analysis using a webcam

Hi,
I'm new to labview and trying to develop an eye-tracker using labview 8.6. It has the vision development module and i was wondering if this was sufficient for real-time image acquisition and processing or would i be needing any other software tools.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello, certainly it is possible and sufficient for real-time tracking!
About eye tracking - if you need an example, you can find the code here:
https://decibel.ni.com/content/blogs/kl3m3n/2013/10/08/real-time-face-and-eye-detection-in-labview-u...
The code uses OpenCV functionalities along with the LabView UI (and some other functions like overlay).
Hope this helps a bit.
Best regards,
K

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

Will there be a fix for Firefox's problems with Hotmail. I have gone back to 3.5.9 but mostly I am disappointed by the lack of action on this serious problem where a major and critical feature of a major international website is unavailable in the Firefox browser.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.hotmail.com

We've reached out to the Hotmail team and they've determined that this is a bug in their code. (It was masked by a timing issue in 3.5 that was fixed in 3.6.) We've worked with them to develop a fix but they may not have deployed it yet.

I am using a work laptop and have the same problem. When I try to change the "configure proxy", they only available option is "use this proxy server for all protocols". Could it be that my system administrator blocked me from changing it since they don't want us to use Firefox.
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; GTB6.4; FNGP_SYS)

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

Congratulations on the new Mini. Are you saying you tried burning and it does not play, or do you want to burn it only for the computer to be able to play it?

I am having a problem where pdf files on the web (i.e., links in a Word doc) open after an extended time and only as gobbldygook ( a file containing a series of characters and letters that make no sense). This also happens for another Mac user coworker

Hi There: I am having a problem where pdf files on the web (i.e., links in a Word doc) open after an extended time and only as gobbldygook ( a file containing a series of characters and letters that make no sense). This also happens for another Mac user coworker in my office, while the PCs don't have this problem... Any help/suggestions for a fix would be most appreciated!

Just adding more info - MacBookPro running 10.5.8 and using Safari as the browser. The problem comes and goes - sometimes the linked Word files will open OK, n others its just a strring of crazy characters...
