Hi all,
I have a mid-2009 15� MBP. Last year I upgraded my 500GB HDD with a 160GB SSD. Overall I love the results and believe it�s one of the best hardware upgrades I have made in recent years.
However, 160GB quickly becomes difficult to work with (especially with multiple VMs) so I am keen to look for another internal storage solution.
This is where OptiBay comes in. Allowing me to remove my optical drive (which I never use) and add an additional HDD.
I am keen to understand if anyone has any experience with OptiBay? Any issues or things I should know about?
My other problem is which one to buy? There are loads on eBay, but I worry about quality. So I have narrowed my search to:
MCE OptiBay (http://www.mcetech.com/optibay/) for $99 or iFixit OptiBay (http://www.ifixit.com/Apple-Parts/9-5-mm-SATA-Optical-Bay-SATA-Hard-Drive-Enclosure/IF107-080) for $59.95?
Any thoughts? I consider iFixit to be a reparable company and it�s cheaper, but I don't want to drop quality.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

It could mean that, or it could mean they just haven't updated the graphite versions of the buttons/loading bars/etc yet. I would love to see them offer more color options, but I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being just blue and graphite again. :o
I think this is the most likely explanation. They changed a lot of the interface elements and it's pretty reasonable to assume that they just haven't updated the graphite versions.

if you get a google voice number (FREE) and download that app on your ipad you can use that number to text.
I have google voice on my iphone and ipad and use it to text because it is 100% free!

And just to add to that
56.13 = 5*10^(1) + 6*10(0) + 1*10^(-1) + 3*10(-2)
56.13 = 5*10^(1) + 6*10(0) + 1*10^(-1) + 3*10(-2)

Very nice!
I bought the Apple sport case for mine, which is really nice, too.
No lanyard attachment, or did I miss something?
And to the aforementioned poster, try and lighten up a bit. :)

Under the iChat preferences on the Video tab, at the bottom there is an option for audio from the internal mic or Line-in. It may say none too if you don't have an internal I think.

Haha luckily for you (and I as well) they do, for free, with no questions asked. This is widely known that the polycarbonate Macs crack around the area near the bottom of the screen (plastic) and at the palm rest around the corners.
Just call ahead, make sure they have the part in stock (tell them that it's cracked and ask if they can fix it in house) and if so, head over there, drop it off, find something to do, and come back later that day and pick it up :)
The bottom palm rest of my blackbook is cracked and I'm planning on going to the nearest Apple store as soon as I get off for the summer to get it fixed.
Yeah but her model is an unibody one, it shouldn't be breaking since there is nothing slamming at it every time you close the lid.
It has happened before and apple replaced it for free (under warranty). Mine has nothing of those cracks but the top part is new (faulty lcd, replaced for free).

That doesn't happen with me. When my monitor goes off, his avatar expands, then covers up my whole screen, swallowing all the other avatars. Whoa...wait, let me try it again to be sure.

This is exciting because it adds so many amazing new major features.;)
I think I'll wait a while.
EDIT: never mind my sarcasm.......I see that BGR stated that this update improves battery life. I'm all over it now.:p
