Yeah, drat, beaten. But if it's a 21.5" 2011 iMac you can get a kit from Macsales that has all the parts and tools you need for installing the additional SSD yourself, except for the drive. And SSD prices seem to be dropping more and more the longer you wait..

I already had a 360 with three controllers so it was a no-brainer to just spend the $15 on amazon and get the receiver. Just make sure you get the "real" one and not one of the cheap knockoffs. If you don't already have a 360 I'd maybe go with the Logitech as the receiver is smaller and drivers are native.Bass Bottles posted:How did you do that?

I'm not sure if the drivers are native on logitech. Doesn't show any support downloads for OSX :/

I can't get it to work, googling a solution hasn't helped. Very few people seem to be lucky enough to have working 360 controllers on Lion. I have a PS3 controller that works, but apparently certain games made specifically for the 360 controller (like Telltale's Walking Dead) have mixed-up controls with non-360 gamepads. It doesn't seem like Lion has any foolproof gamepad options. Bass Bottles fucked around with this message at 20:45 on May 22, 2012 |

I just installed this: http://tattiebogle.net/index.php/ProjectRoot/Xbox360Controller/OsxDriver and it works fine with my Microsoft-branded 360 controller. I tried it with a MadCatz brand controller and it didn't work without some janky .plist editing.

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but I am clueless about fruit computers. I'm thinking about buying a friend's macbook air that she bought last summer, and it still has the one year warranty that it came with for a few more months. The OP says you can add apple care (And I want to, since I plan on bringing this thing like everywhere around the world for the next two years) within the first year, but I'm just concerned that because I'm not the original buyer and if it'll somehow block me from adding applecare to the computer. That's dumb and I can totally just add it myself, right?

Ok, so I'll have to ask for that proof of purchase or where she bought it. Good to know, thanks. Hope she kept it around somewhere!

Are you getting an install error, or are the controllers actually not working? When I installed it I would get an error on every attempt, but it still installed and worked fine. I'd love to see those drivers get updated, regardless.

My MacBook Air '11 was LIGHTLY tapped by my Wife's jacket zipper and it was enough to cause a hairline crack in the screen display. Over time, the crack has been growing little by little. I was surprised how fragile the display was, as I said the impact was extremely soft. Can I go to a fruit stand, and get them to replace it under my AppleCare plan? And if they try to pin it on me, can I complain some more and get them to budge? I don't know how service works at all.

If I saw a computer come in with no damage whatsoever and a hairline crack on the screen, I'd probably order the part under warranty and just hope it doesn't get rejected at the warehouse.

As long as there are no signs of abuse (tool marks, impact scars, lots of chipped edges, other things) a case could be made that the glass was defective or something. Thing is, they'll have to just order a whole new display assembly, they don't part out screens anymore, especially on the Air. Edit: but since we don't have any pics or anything that would give us an idea, the jury's out, who the hell knows, can't say for sure, etc. Binary Badger fucked around with this message at 03:35 on May 23, 2012 |

I have a sneaking suspicion that the gap between Ivy Bridge and Apple refresh is because Intel is having a hard time hitting thermal requirements. I've assembled a few Ivy Bridge systems now, and every single one has run hot. I wish I hadn't sold my 2600k in favor of a 3770k.

If the screen in front of the display looks clean, you probably have a good case for replacement.

Isn't that because Intel cheaped out and is using standard thermal paste between the chip and the heatspreader on Ivy, rather than the fluxless solder on Sandy?

Not exactly, but I figured it would be easier trying to sell before WWDC. Also willing to hear offers if anyone wants to haggle, but that's the last I'll mention it in this thread.
