my mac pro wifi has been broken since 10.5.3 update. I am using a 10 meter long cable. What to do! - shinchi via twhirl

Why doesnt it have wifi? - Akshay Dodeja

What you need is a Thinkpad running Ubuntu - Migger

Lots of hardware runs hackintosh osx86, if you're handy. See http://pcwizcomputer.com/osx86... Latest technique is at http://forum.insanelymac.com/i... - Indio Apache via twhirl

I think it's very funny, and I don't believe it 1 second :-D - Frédérick 2 Baro via twhirl

You got to use what works!! - Tony

why won't they fix it ? - Nigel Cooke

yeh ubuntu+KDE4.1 i.e. Kubuntu - Ketan Khairnar

don't do that, it's just a bad dream! you're about to wake up... - ledretch via twhirl

Feels like we're missing a piece of the story. If it's broke and under warranty, Apple will fix it. - Kawika Holbrook

Get an XPS m1330 from Dell. It runs OSX perfectly and scores better than MacBook Pro in XBench.. It even has a built-in HSDPA modem (with a hidden antenna in the screen), which is also the reason why I won't buy a Mac - those HSDPA dongles and plugin cards are simply too lame.. - Mads Kristiansen

Kawika, they deny it doesn't work. And I grant to them that it works in the apple store, just nowhere else. - michael arrington

Are you planning to sell the MacBook Air or keep it? - Louis Gray

There are some things that even Linux cannot remedy. ;-) Are they still using the broadcom chipset? I've had nothing but bad luck with that.... - Joanmarie

I don't want to fuel any religious discussions here, but the last time I installed Linux it wasn't able to put my laptop to sleep, when I closed the lid. The first couple of times I would forget and simply put the laptop into my bag resulting in funny overheating "artefacts" in the LCD display. I'm sure theres an easy fix to xorg.conf or some crap, but I'm not interested.. - Mads Kristiansen

Every new OS X update breaks airport. I upgraded to 10.5.4 last night and now today I cannot connect to the two public networks I've used on a daily basis for the last 4 months. In one case, my MacBook can't even see the network at all. While all around me PC notebooks are connecting with no problem. - Rick Powell

since we're all apple bashing: about 3 or 4 times a week i have a prob connecting the mbp to a mp through macs PFS, but the windows sharing _always_ works between both of them (seems slower though?).. seriously, its the stupidest thing ever. - Graham Garland

At least Microsoft dosent break my networking every update cycle. And people think Vista is bad?? - Roberto Bonini

Macbook pro worked like a demon for the last year and a bit, no problems with wifi and no upgrade woes. Sorry but had lots of pc trouble and the one month of running Vista was the worst experience of my life; I especially enjoyed the blue screen every time my Microsoft webcam was activated. - Stuart Forsyth

I'm using Vista at work, and I have a mac at home. Mac Os rocks, especially compared to Vista. It's much nicer, and much faster But some Microsoft technologies are great. The .Net Framework and Silverlight are great. I hope they will become available on Mac anytime soon! But I would not change my Mac against a PC running Windows Vista even if I was given a PC for free! - Antoine Brunel

Antoine, have you tried installing/using Mono on the Mac? Mono seems to be running fine on OSX, though I haven't tried personally. And the latest version already supports .NET 3.0 :) - Jon Limjap via twhirl

Is the best solution to computer problems REALLY to by a PC? - Chris Nixon

yeah, right you are... - Zee from WeDoCreative

"Works in the apple store, just nowhere else." - Ha Ha....gutted. - Toby Graham

LOL! - Colide81 (James)

Yes, I love it. Where are all the Mac fanboys? - Stephan Miller via twhirl

the more apple sells the more issues like this will crop up. You are already seeing issues with the iPhone 3g. Not sure a PC is the answer though. - gfurry

If you ask me, unless your Wi-fi is critical, you can do without it. Gigabit Ethernet trumps wi-fi any day of the week. - Roberto Bonini

Try changing the channel your wireless is using. Try falling back to 802.11b instead of g or n. Try adding a third party card instead of the internal. Try finding a friend with a macbook Air and see if they have the same problem in the same place. - Indio Apache via twhirl

Macbooks have broken WiFi as well. I've been waiting for a fix for the last 3 yrs. Check out http://tinyurl.com/3sdpxb where many Macbook users have voiced their frustrations. - Marshall Bose

I just got an Asus EEE PC and I feel great. Yeaahhhhh. Runs Windows. Got a new EVDO modem. 5-plus hour battery. 802.11N, - Dave Winer

good luck with that - Jorge Mir

there is no place in macbook air to add another wifi card :) ... i switched to osx 2 months back after being on windows forever and I love it .... the only problem being the rattling sound my macbook air makes sometimes ... and it hangs too because for FF issues - Raza via Alert Thingy

Why not do this for the Blackberry? - Phil Yanov

I prefer last.fm because of the better data and community behind it. - Matt Baron

Are you sure the iPhone app only works in he US as well? - Rubin Sfadj

I'm with you Phil. I feel like the smartphone with the largest installed user base is somehow being ignored! - Shawn Farner via twhirl

@phil because RIM isn't even half as smart as Apple - Rubin Sfadj

last.fm is good for popular genres - for obscure and segmented topics it is relatively poor. From "music discovery" class of sites I liked more music.yahoo.com while it was possible (no, Pandora is not even close), but it's content licenses had been paid by MS (widely known fact, indirectly supported by MS-only service model), and even if you are ready to pay - you MUST be in US (which is another US-only crap) - silpol

Yeah, RIM isn't half as smart as Apple. That's why they sell their devices on all carriers and made them business-friendly right off the bat. - Shawn Farner

@Shawn Farner: great point...I love apple and everything mac...I want the iPhone...I don't want the AT&T commitment...(although, if they offered a Go Phone plan for the new iPhone I might consider it.) - Sean McGee
