Seems like an adventurous 2 year old. Hope he is okay now.

DIY Fixes for tech stuff
For some time now the MacBook Pro that is over 3 years old has been making a grinding noise on the right side. I knew it was a fan of some sort but figured I would just deal with it. The problem became increasingly worse and when my screensaver or a few apps that were CPU intensive fired it the sound was very annoying. I did some research and found that the MacBook Pros have 2 fans, one on the right and one on the left. I ordered up a new fan from ifixit.com which was only 70 dollars with shipping and handling. The shipping and handling was 20 dollars but could have been less with just regular mail delivery. I was a little apprehensive since usually when you take something a part it is a pain to get back together the way it once was.

I followed the directions they have on their website carefully and everything went well. The MacBook Pro is as good as new once again and quiet as well.

One more thing I remembered from a visit to the Genius Bar. If you want to stress test your CPU open a terminal window and type "yes" followed by the enter key. That will kick up your CPU enough to make you fans start up.

Who knows maybe you can find something on the site that is worth fixing.

Shit like this makes me want to never use Windows again
i feel that Bill Gates would have to much class for something like this. I would not put it past Balmer however.

That's so crazy but I guess it gets the publicity. The reason I hate windows is because of things like this: (e:paul,52637)

Despite the mild blight
this is probably the last harvest as the plants are starting to die.
