i found this screensaver that connects to the apple web site and plays random video trailer, or you can use any movie or video on your computer to play as your screen saver (you can turn sound on or off) THEN i found a program that plays your screen saver as your desktop background. Right now i have Long Story Short playing as my desktop background. SO SICK

They say that if you get under 100 seconds for expert Minesweeper, you discover the meaning of life.

have to say im not very pleased with the quality of new apple products, im still running 2 three year old powerbooks for that reason, they are bombproof, my 12inch pwrbook fell from the roof on to the frozen ground and all it had was a little dent in the side, then it fell off my desk the next day still functions fine, my dad recently replaced all the computers in his office with g5s and the new macbook pros and a couple macbook pro's screens have burnt out along the enges same with one of his big monitors

i upgraded my g5 imac and c2d macbook to leopard and i'm liking it so far.  it's mostly a nice visual upgrade but time machine and some of the other new features are nice to.  if you buy it get it off amazon for $109 with no tax compared to apple's $129 with tax.

If you think what happened when you got 103 seconds was good, wait until you break 100 on solitaire. Changed my life, man.

by doing that your losing a lot of power and could overheat your mac... either way its not energy efficient.

Macs are for people that are computer illiterate

I think it is hilarious when people say "ya! well my computer just works!"
Thats fine if it works. My computer does too. And your pc would have too if you knew anything about computers.
Linux is the way to go

PC's can do that too...it's just a huge waste of RAM.
