Hello, all, and Happy Holidays! Just wanted to let everyone know that I will be traveling over the next week and only connected via dial-up (ugh), so there will probably be little or no posts here until around New Years.
See you in 2004!
Here’s the thing: Silent Night (see below) fixes the fan noise problem that started with 10.3.2. But the fan noise itself is a side effect of an Apple fix for the problem of the 12-inch Powerbooks running hot (which everyone has been complaining about since these suckers were first released this summer).

Silent Night fixes 12” PowerBook fan noise
iDriveX has written a utility to fix the problem with excessive fan noise caused by the Mac OS X 10.3.2 update on 12″ PowerBook G4s. [MacMegasite]
I just want to state that I advise against this hack. The fan turns on more, yes, but as a result, [...]
Run Software Update now for yesterday’s latest Security Update.
Check out Rael’s post over at MobileWhack:
I gave this a whirl the moment I found it this morning and have been IR-keyboarding my 3650 throughout the day without a hitch. Simply download the .sis file, copy it to and install it on your handset, launch it from the Menu, turn it on using Options > [...]
Apple has released a GettingStarted.pdf for .mac. . . . after nearly two years.
MacMice introduces the iFlex. Oh, I really want one of these from Santa. Too bad they don’t ship until January. $19.99, though, is not too high a price point. Pretty cool.
If you have .mac, you can find a free copy of Photostudio X in the Members Only folder of your iDisk.
I must note here that this is one of the things I really like about .mac. If you add up the price-tags of all the free software .mac gives away over the course of a [...]
Available via Software Update and weighing in at 42.5MB: Java Update 1.4.1.
For all you coders out there: Xcode 1.1 update is now available via Software Update.
Guess I was wrong about the fan being a good thing:
Do not install Mac OS X 10.3.2
Owners of first generation 12-inch PowerBook G4s are advised not to install Mac OS X 10.3.2 until Apple resolves a problem caused by the update with this particular machine. The update causes the PowerBook’s fan to run non-stop while [...]
Well, after releasing OS X 10.3.2, QuickTime 6.5, and a Battery Update for portables, Apple has now released iTunes 4.2 and there is word of more Security Updates to be released later this afternoon…
Check this out:
One bad side effect of Mac OS X 10.3.2
The most annoying side effect of Mac OS X 10.3.2 on my 12-inch PowerBook G4 is that my machine’s fan is running a lot more - nearly all of the time when I have the machine plugged into the AC. Are others seeing this? [Mac [...]
