Ugh, I've lost usability of several programs (Boinx TV, Steam) and I'm not so sure I like the reopen windows after restart thing, sometimes I'll close windows and after restart, say I open PowerPoint or Preview, like 5 or 10 old files open with it. My computer gets so bogged down. I've been a customer seeder for several years, but by far, this has been the worst experience. I know it's my choice, but I may go back to SL. I've also got this weird bug where the screen randomly splits like it is across 2 monitors, but it's actually one.

Aunt TUAW or the rest of the community. Can someone tell me the best way to look at what program is huge X amount of memory. I had 4GB and always had about 1GB to 500MB free while running a certain version of OSX, so after a while it would get extremely unresponsive. Then, I installed 8GB, and now when I use iStats it shows 4.15GB free. So, if I had 4GB I wouldn't have any left. I guess I need a lesson in available memory allocation, but to my question at hand, how do I check this? Thanks.

How can I ask Aunt TUAW a question?

Is there any good info on what changes/additions iOS 5 will bring?

Thanks for this, as a grad student in a cell biology lab, it's hard to stay up to date with things that could be helpful. Now, if only there was an make my experiments work every time app, I'd be set! It is magical right?

Wow. No battery life comments yet?

It's crap like that, that they pull that makes me loathe Best Buy. I've had one on pre-order and they are always so rude the one time I went into the store to ask about receiving iPads (as in have they been getting any), and the one time I called about it. The lady was rude and said to just wait. She used a terrible tone. I've worked retail, and quite frankly more often than not I get terrible service out of that place. If I didn't have a card with them, I would stop there all together. I only do for bigger purchases I can do deferred interest with. If this is true, I'll be queuing up my Apple order for the iPad 2.

This is what my Macbook Pro says: I'm guessing this means it can support SATA-3. Is it just OWC that is going to have a Mac supported SSD? I will definitely get up to speed on this.

I have a question: Can you guys tell me what SSDs are available to the 2011 MacBook Pros, and how easy is it to swap out? Also, are there any coming out in the near future to hold out for? It's been hard finding reliable information. I can only wade through the Macrumors Forums so much.
