Best Buy's MacBook Pro SKUs Go Missing, Might Mean Core i5 Refresh Soon

The upcoming i5 MacBook Pro refresh might be closer than we thought, with TUAW discovering that Best Buy emptied their systems of the current version. Since they're not likely to go MacBook-less for long, that points to soon. [TUAW]

Full-Color Iron Man MacBook Decal Kills Bad Guys with Branding

We've seen a black-and-white Iron Man MacBook decal before, but this full-color one is much more striking. Although you've gotta be OK with equating Apple's logo with the powers of a superhero. Fanboys. Buy one here: [Etsy via Geeky Gadgets]

I thought this Ballmer's autograph on a Macbook Pro was fake, but according to this video of the big man scribbling it, it's not. Somewhere in a dark place, Jon Ive is bracing himself and sobbing. With a British accent. More »

HELP! My MacBook had a Linux Panic Kernal (or whatever it's called) and I ran disk utility off the CD. It was able to repair the issues so I restarted. The computer hangs on a gray screen after showing the Apple logo and circle.

So I restarted again, booted off the disc, ran the disk utility again, and verified the disk. It says it's fine. Restarted, Apple logo comes on (this time I ejected the disc), circle turns, but then again it hangs on the gray screen.

All the forums so far I've checked don't help me for shit. I'm running a black MacBook with nothing extra hardware installed or replaced on it. I do have the Snow Leopard upgrade. It boots up into Windows 7 just fine so I figure it's not a hardware issue. I really don't want to do a fresh install but if I have to it looks like I have no choice.

Ten years' worth of Apple laptops are stacked high in this shot. I was going to list their identities, but then I realized the commenters could probably have more fun with it. Be nice (or funny). [Flickr via Unplggd]
