If it is indeed a dead pixel, which it looks to be, Apple most likely will not replace it, considering that only one out of 1,049,088 pixels on the screen is a dud.

PRAM/NVRAM has nothing to do with the OP's issue.
Mac OS X: What's stored in PRAM
When to reset NVRAM or PRAM
SMC might help with some fan, unexpected power-offs or slow performance issues, but not heat-related shutdowns, as the OP described.
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
My apologies. I've always just done a PRAM reset after an SMC reset, as kind of a "cover all bases" kind of thing.
Thanks for pointing that out though. :) Funny thing is, I've read that article before, but I was never actually sure what exactly was stored in PRAM, woe is me!

I have stuck with Tiger in my G4s, so I can't speak to Leopard's performance.
You should install the maximum possible amount of RAM before doing anything else, but a HDD upgrade will definitely improve performance as well and should make the machine perfectly suitable for general internet browsing and basic image editing/light gaming work and so forth.
Bear in mind that these machines are only going to get older, and G4s can never handle HD video, so while they are perfectly servicable you will want to limit the amount of money you put into upgrades.

Many people discuss iOS in either the iPhone or iPad forums. Or possibly down in a software forum. I think we need a Forum for iOS discussion. Preferably at the top or bottom of the iPhone, iPad and iPod forums. Since these devices, the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad are now converging at 4.2, many features and elements relating to betas, release dates, and other functionality is relevant to all types of iOS device and it would be nice to have a central place to discuss it.
If there already is a place, it is neither obvious or easy to find. Nor should it be lumped into any of the main forums in Apple Applications or Apple Systems & Services without at least having its own sub-forum.

**Kernal Panic Issue I THINK?***
Hi I am having issues with my White Apple Macbook 13" 2.4ghz late 2008 model...One of the macbook memory slots is damaged but the other one is good...It runs fine and all before until now... How do I fix this and salvage this mac? I took apart my macbook and I found out that the adhesive on the macbook CPU + Heatsink is look...I can not screw in any of the screws to the heat sink as it does not fit because it dosent seem the case has any screw holes in it ( I just replaced the bottom housing)...
What do I need to buy the make the gray adhesive under the heat sink and on the CPU it self to make it stick? Will it fix the "shut down / restart " (kernal panic screen issue? )
**I have attached pictures for you guys to see. Let me know what I need to do...thank you..**

I need a program to start designing my website and need help with which is the best one to choose. I have been using ekm for it but it's too expensive for my needs as this is a hobby. I need to be able to design a website offline and just upload it when needed. I have virtually no budget to spend but don't mind paying a one off fee to get what I want just don't want to be paying every month. I need it to look classy and the big thing for it is I need to able to sell my items online through a shopping cart as I have alot of items at different weights and sizes etc and need to be able to set all this up quite easily. I've done many websites before just not using a mac but I haven't got loads of time to put into it unfortunately. Can anyone give me some suggestions of programs I can look at.
Thanks

its just how it works. the video card gets hot and the fans will turn on this happens with all laptops. just use your laptop. you don't need any programs to 'fix' it because it's not broken.

Yeah, the Northern Line has always been quite good. It was also one of the most reliable.
Metropolitan line is definitely the most ghetto. It's so 3rd world.

I have no clue what he did to say he'd get a "WTF" from Aplle but good going anyway!
He made jailbreak possible when they thought they closed it...yet again...so there's a WTF moment.

Calibrate your monitor!
Maybe do some research before you say that:
276541
A color sampled from the Graphite button with RGB values of 81 / 92 / 108.
276542
The same color, showing that it has a blueish hue.

I was in a similar, ish, situation. Other half has Pokemon Black, but our DS Lites don't like our WiFi (how dare we use WPA...), so we decided to upgrade one unit to something more modern.
Initially we bought a 3DS, but sent it back within a few days. The handling of DS games on the upper screen isn't that good to be honest (scaling issues), and we felt the 3D was a waste of time and money. Instead we picked up a new DSi for �95 (love airports), and it's great - less than half the cost, far superior battery life, and also supports WPA and the DSi store.

Yes I say a 'cracked' version because I don't know if he paid for it or not, and I didn't pay for it, my choice of words, i admit, was not very good!
I apologize to all those who really hold the rules of these forums so close to their hearts. I don't however believe I have broken the rules but if you feel otherwise I hope my apology puts a smile on your face and makes your day just that bit better! ;)

If it doesn't know the command work, then it isn't installed (correctly). Remove any old files and install it again. You should be getting something like this:

General Sentiment is part of an elite team of Mercenary Ex-Servicemen who reside in the shadows of the Los Angeles Underground. The full contingent is:
General Sentiment (Responsible for monitoring morale)
Major Improvement (Morale Uplifts)
Admiral Butterfly (Aesthetics)
Corporal Punishment (Deals with those who lower morale)
Private Practice (deals with those unfortunate enough to have faced Corporal Punishment)
and finally...
Seaman Staines (added to the team only to provide Murdock-style comedy value at the end of each scene).
I'm shocked you have forgotten Colonel Panic, who has been known to stop computers dead with his amazing multi-lingual skills.
