same reason routers use non routable 192.168.x.x and 10.x.x.x. my modem is a router. External IP is different.

He thinks its odd because he's under the impression that all 169.x addresses are used for APIPA. In reality its just a Microsoft thing and its just 169.255.x.x group of addresses.

i need a mac book pro for work.. and since we have a few die hard fans of apple, can you tell me if i can get a newer mac book pro for cheaper than the apple website?
i'm looking at the 13" model for $1249.. i have a budget of $1600 including tax. Maybe if i can get the office software in the deal for $1249 as well that will be fine.
Also, this will be a government institution ordering this unit if that helps.

Refurb Macbook Pros from Apple directly. Afaik they're just open box products returned to Apple within 14 days of purchase. They come with full warranty and you can buy Applecare extended 3 year warranty for them too (off ebay is better, its only like $100)
ps. check that link every day, the stock changes often.. they only have two 13" models at the moment

Yup!! The full warranty and 3 year Apple Care is a great addition if you really need that extra piece of mind.

i found a 17" unit for a little more money.. 300 bux actually... is it worth the upgrade from 13 to 17???
that's that much more you have to lug around. I could have bought a 15" screen i got the 13", cost wasn't the deciding factor, portability was.

im coming from 17", and i don't miss it,...... 13" macbook air(late '10).
another deciding factor, if you want a bigger screen, its a simple plug in to a bigger screen. 20" displays or your choice.
example: i bought the mini display port(HDMI) and wireless keyboard and trackpad to surf from the couch on the HDTV.
mostly for the kids to use as a desktop.
update: there is airplay mirroring now.

17 is kinda big to lug around.
15 is a good balance. 13 is small.

The 13 inch is a great form factor, but way to underpowered for any pro user. I would love a 13 inch MacBook Pro, but it just doesn't cut it power wise. I use my 15 inch MacBook Pro like a desktop, only need portable about 5% of the time, the rest is all plugged into my 24 inch LED samsung screen. Would love to have the power of my 15 inch in the small 13 inch, but I am not holding my breath for that.
Get a widget called "screenshot plus". It's the greatest thing ever - whole screen, timed screen shot, screen shot of a window only, or an adjustable box (so you can grab any size picture/a line of text/etc.). It's probably my most used widget. Taking screenshots is the easiest way to get rid of exif data
Cybernation, create an account on the apple website and put your number in the account information. Pick what macbook you want and add it to your cart, but don't check out/pay. Within 2 weeks, they'll call you and give you 20% off if you're willing to buy it on the spot.
Another alternative is to use anyone who's in school (teachers or students). You have to do this online (since you obviously can't use someone else's student ID in person). I think this one's only about 10-15% off, though.

if you have an apple airport extreme, you prob know by now you can't do time machine backups wirelessly, by just plugging in an external hard drive to the extreme USB port.
well there is a way, and it works for me.
people say apple don't allow it to ensure sales of the time capsule. FAIR, OK.
this alone should help the situation, but there is more if not, also the procedure.
Oddly enough, Time Machine can be rather picky about the way certain things are named.
Check your Computer Name at the top of the System Preferences > Sharing panel.
It must not be blank; it should not be more than 25 characters long; and you should avoid punctuation, spaces, and special characters (even though OSX uses them when it makes the default name when you first set up a Mac).
After changing it if the Local Hostname doesn’t change automatically, click the Edit button and change it manually.
If that doesn't help, apply the same rules to the name of your Airport Extreme and Network, via Airport Utility.
