my macbook pro lid creaks when i close/open it. would apple replace my laptop? i still have warranty
 
no, they'll just replace your lid. why the hell would they give u a new laptop over a part they can easily fix?

I was wondering if anyone has an icon set for iCal that looks like this. Kind of like just showing the date in the same type of text format. I already know whats involved in replacing the ical icons, I just haven't found something to make it in the style of what I already have for my dock.
 
Anyone know if buying applecare from ebay is legit? Warranty is about to expire in a couple of months and was looking in investing in the extended 2 year warranty just in case something goes bad. I'm looking for the cheapest available option. I was reading that buying applecare from ebay is fake and generated codes that will work but once you take it into apple they won't fix your mac.

How do you guys store your movies? I'm looking for a good look media center that I can use the DVD covers with. Also is there a specific way to go about getting the DVD covers on the movie files?

Use Plex. it has a lot of skins and you can customize it to your liking. If you mean like actual physical storage, i just maxed out my internal drive to 640GBs

Cool, I'll look into that. I randomly found something called Delicious Library but they want $40 for it, so I'm looking for free or cheaper alternatives.

from my understanding, anything made on a pc version of PP will work on the Mac version. Same thing goes in reverse, but mae sure you run a compatibility report before saving. The only issue i see that could be a problem would be certain fonts
