If you’ve had the chance to play around with Apple’s new iLife ’09, you no doubtedly have encountered some pleasant surprises with the updated iPhoto. No, I’m not talking about the useful geo-tagging or the integration with Flickr and social-media heavyweight Facebook… I’m referring to iPhoto’s amazing facial recognition which uncovers subtle things that make ya go hmmmm…
Sure, there have been many tutorials done about how to replace the memory chips in Macs but doggone it, I just had to make one myself. This one is custom-tailored for the IT staff at the public agency where I work to demonstrate how simple the procedure is. Don’t worry guys, it’s a piece of cake!
Note: This video covers the steps needed to work on an early-2008 MacBook Pro (Penryn), NOT the aluminum unibody models that came out in October 2008.
The good folks over at Project Lore have noticed that Blizzard did a major revamp to its World of Warcraft Armory site and the changes are quite revealing to say the least:
“…Now the new Armory goes a bit beyond that; not only can you check out a persons gear, you can check to see if they have cleared that heroic before, or any heroic, or if they have ever earned an emblem of heroism. You can even see if what raids they’ve done, how much gold they’ve earned, and how much their biggest heal has been for. It’s all amazing really…”
Crazy news! It’s going to be plain as day to my guild that I’m terrible at raising cash and that I apparently don’t farm enough raid resources as I should be! Is this level of transparency a cause for concern? Maybe it depends if you’re a casual player trying to get buy or a gold farmer whose keeping it on the down low… Hey! How’d you earn only 15 gold yesterday and today it says you earned 1,000 gold? Aha!
Update: Anyone notice that the Armory no longer shows your profile with the buffs you had when you last logged off? Ugh, I sure don’t feel very adequate without the Aspect of the Hawk buff on me!
