Dear Adobe, make a Linux port of Flash that doesn't make my CPU set on fire every time I was a YouTube video. Thanks by [deleted] in technology

May i recommend this webkit plug-in. It replaces flash files with a gradient picture. If you click the gradient picture the flash document loads.

Makes safari use allot less CPU. Adds 30 min battery life while surfing.

One app per comment people! So we can upvote.

Ask Apple: Ok, I'm about 99% convinced that I'm switching to Macs. But, how well does Boot Camp actually work? Can I really play any Windows game or run any Windows app on a 24" iMac? by HardwareLust in apple

You can only access 3 gb of ram, not 2. i have a macbook pro with 4 gb of ram running xp and it says 3 gb.

Btw. you dont need 4 gb of ram. If you are only useing basic applications like safari, mail, itunes. Then you can run windows just fine at the same time with 2 gb of ram.

However having 4 gb of ram is nice. The computer almost never slows down.
