    Revert OS X Lion settings to factory default

    I haven't found much... but it looks like there are a couple options. Most straightforward seems to be creating a new user account. The other involves deleting some .plist files. http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/18338/how-do-i-restore-the-default-settings-in-lion

    Revert OS X Lion settings to factory default

    Is there a way to revert settings in OS X Lion back to factory defaults? I'm specifically interested in the gestures on my MBP. I upgraded from Snow Leopard and had played around with different gesture settings... now I'd like to put them back to the way Apple intended. Is this possible?

    Lion release?

    Looks like there's an updated version of iTunes (10.4). Maybe that will help?

    Lion release?

    Don't forget to make a copy of the installer before you run the upgrade if you want to make a boot disk or simply don't want to download it again on other computers, etc.

    Do I need a class 10 SD card?

    I know the higher class numbers mean faster reads and writes, but will I even notice the difference? I have a Sony NEX-5 and it came with an 8GB class 4 SD card. When shooting RAW + Jpeg the thing fills up fairly quickly. I've been shooting in RAW-only lately so that saves me some space, but...

    MBP - Resolution/Screen Options

    I have the 15" MBP hi res with anti-glare screen. I love it and wouldn't have purchased it if it only came with 1440 x 900. Do you have any Apple stores near you? They don't always have the anti-glare on display, but at least you could get a feel for the higher resolution. I don't find myself...

    Anti-Glare 15" MacBook Pro In! Quick Impressions vs the Glossy.

    I'm a big fan of the anti-glare screen too. A lot of people will argue about which is "better," but it boils down to personal preference. I'll have to check out GraphicsCardStatus. Mine gets a little warm and I'm guessing the GPU is to blame. Sorry to hear about your stuck pixel!

    WWDC 2011

    Maybe it will scan the song and try to recognize it like Shazam or SoundHound...? I would think it would have to be fancier than a simple artist/title/album ID3 tag lookup.

    Opinions on kindle?

    Congrats on your purchase. Take that Kindle outside on a sunny day and you'll be blown away by the e-ink screen. The battery life is great too. I haven't charged mine in over a month but I haven't been using it every day.

    Best consumer-level wireless router for large rambler?

    I would definitely recommend upgrading to N as well. You'll be pleased with the speed boost and increased range. I just replaced a WRT54GL (running Tomato) with a Netgear N750 (aka WNDR4000). File transfer speeds across the LAN are insane.

    I'm pulling 20 megaBYTES per second with WNDR4000N

    Wow, that's impressive. I just pulled the trigger on one of these this morning. My WRT54GL served me well for a long time but I can use the speed boost.

    Getting used to 13" screen?

    My girlfriend got one of the early 2011 13" MBP's. For some reason I thought the resolution was 1440 x 900.... oops! Definitely 1280 x 800. I went with the 15" and hi-res antiglare screen myself. That's probably as small as I'd like to go and the physical size is not much larger than the 13" MBP.

    need some help with 960 grid

    I'm taking a couple stabs in the dark, but here's what jumped out at me. First, is there a reason you're using the "loose" doctype? I don't know how important it is for the 960 grid system, but it looks like the demo sites all use "transitional" or higher (up to html5). Second, have you tried...

    iSCSI questions

    One side note about iSCSI is that it has a little more CPU overhead. With today's processors, this really isn't an issue. We've been running iSCSI for a few years now. We have a P4000 SAN from HP (previously LeftHand Networks) and we just added a DataCore SAN Melody 3 setup with the new 6G SAS...
