Dear Mac Reader,
Last week James Duncan Davidson got tired of wondering why
his 15-inch
MacBook Pro was running so hot. So he took matters into his
own hands,
disassembled the laptop, cleaned off the existing thermal
paste, reapplied
with new goo, took temperature readings, and put everything
back together.
Did this exercise cool off his MacBook Pro? Here's the link
to the article:
<http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/
a/mac/2006/05/23/thermal-paste-question.html>
I have to tell you, it's worth checking out just to see the
pictures of
the MacBook Pro in various stages of disassembly. Plus, we
have over 40
comments to the article from readers offering their own
opinions and
insights. This is a great read!
I have lots more good stuff in the editorial pipeline too.
So if you
haven't been hanging out at MacDevCenter.com lately, I
think you should
stop by.
Until next time,
-Derrick

Cloning Terminal to Ease Window Management
By using multiple copies of an app, you can hide and display
each copy's
windows separately. For example, you can have multiple
copies of the
Terminal available: one for generic tasks, a few for
specific projects,
and one reserved as idle. Rich Morin shows you how.

MacBook Pro: The Thermal Paste Question
The MacBook Pro is a hot machine--literally so hot that it
becomes
uncomfortable on your lap after extended periods of use.
Some users blame
the excessive use of thermal paste between the main chips on
the logic
board and the thermal pipes. Is this the problem? James
Duncan Davidson
cracks open his MacBook Pro to find out.

Photoshop Elements 4 for the Mac: Worth the Wait?
There was a minor uproar in the Mac community when Photoshop
Elements 4
was released for Windows with no Mac version in sight. But
Adobe has
rectified the situation with a stellar release of Elements
for OS X. Giles
Turnbull takes you on a tour of its highlights.

Grabbing iTMS Preview Tracks the Geek Way
Ever tried to copy a preview track from the iTMS onto your
iPod? Hint: you
can't. iTunes won't add those 30-second free previews. Why
would you want
to? Some great audio and video are waiting for you to enjoy.
Plus, there's
the sheer thrill of geek accomplishment--the "oh, so
that's how to do it"
satisfaction.
