Anyone try using their PS3 controller on their mac? Because I think this is pretty cool. I'm playing GTA: San Andreas right now.

The driver only supports through usb cable for now. I think their still working on the bluetooth connectivity though, but it is possible.

How many in here have bought tier mac's and ipods from the retail store and got the "Back To School" rebate?
Can you submit of the rebate when you buy it or do you have to submit online? or can you get the iPod for free?

^^^^^^ you have to submit your rebate online but mine only took 3 to 4 weeks. So it isn't like other rebates where you wait 8 to 10 weeks.

Several MacRumors have reported that Amazon has begun taking announced price of $29 for OS X Leopard users, and the listing notes that while Snow Leopard is slated for a September release, no official release date has been announced.
Amazon has also prominently featured an "Upgrade Path Alert" notifying customers that the upgrade is available only for Intel computers currently running OS X Leopard.

Amazon has also begun offering pre-orders of OS X Snow Leopard family packs, Mac Box Sets bundling Snow Leopard with iLife '09 and iWork '09, and Snow Leopard Server.
- Mac OS X version 10.6 Snow Leopard ($29.00)
- Mac OS X Snow Leopard Family Pack (5-User) ($49.00)
- Mac Box Set - (with Snow Leopard) ($169.00)
- Mac Box Set Family Pack with Snow Leopard (5-User) ($229.00)
- Mac OS X Server version 10.6 Snow Leopard ($499.00)
Note: Purchases through these Amazon links benefit MacRumors financially.

When I click on the link what are you gonna do provided, it lets me login in to my apple store account, then I click on the US customer link, and it brings me to "items in your cart" page. Is that supposed to happen?
that brings you do enter your apple account, afterwards it asks for your serial number and other information accordingly
i just tried both and wasnt brought to a "items in your cart" page, maybe because you logged in first before clicking?

where is my memory going? I just copped MBP and been using it a little, basically just surfing the net and all. I been noticing that my memory has been slowlydecreasing each time i use my MBP for some odd reason, but thing is that i havent downloaded anything on it. I cleared my cookies,cache, and history on safariand still my memory is lower than when i first had it. I heard it could be my 'runaway log' but dont know where to find that. anyone experience thisthat could help me out, lmk.

there's actually no truly effective cooling pad for macbooks due to their rear vents, best you can do is a stand...i think there were sometests run and the differences were minuscule at best

Seeking an opinion on value, because I'm looking at two options:
$852: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz / 2GB RAM / 160GB Hard Drive / NVIDIA GeForce 9400M / SuperDrive / iSight Webcam / Bluetooth / Extreme WiFi / Mac OS X Leopard
$1,055: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.26GHz / 2GB DDR2 / 160GB Hard Drive / NVIDIA GeForce 9400M / SuperDrive / iSight Webcam / Bluetooth / Extreme WiFi / SD Slot / MacOS X
These are both aluminum unibody MacBooks (13.3 inch) and I'm debating whether it's worth the extra $200 to get that little bit of processing power andan SD slot. Thoughts, Mac folks? I'll be doing video editing in iMovie and photo editing in Photoshop along with some word processing, IM'ing and webbrowsing.
BTW, here are the two links:
http://www.jr.com/apple/pe/APP_MB990LL_SL_A/
http://www.jr.com/apple/pe/APP_MB466LL_SL_A/
(Fixed the second link to the correct unibody one)

[h2]The MacBook Micro is here, also might have a camera[/h2]

Guys, theMacBook Micro has been announced. You're going to love it. It's three things: a Powebook from 1998, a student's art project, and a really shortemail. We hear it may boast a camera, too. Check out the gallery below to see this wonder of modern technology doing its thing... you will not be disappointed.
Update: Grace K. sent in a Flickr link, complete with video of the Micro. Check itout after the break. It doesn't make this thing feel any more "real," but what else were you planning on doing today outside of looking at Applerumors? Mow the lawn? Pshaw.
