This is probably one of the coolest mods I've seen in a long time. While this was done with an old IBM keyboard, the premise can easily be done on a Mac. I know it gave me a lot of ideas!

If you're like me, you have a lot of applications on your dock and it drives you nuts. Most Mac users like things nice, tidy and clean; that's why we bought Macs. We can't stand clutter. We also like things organized in a categorical fashion. Now there's a simple answer. Adam Betts has designed a set of simple "dock dividers".

Remember the days before the G5 where you could upgrade your CPU? With the rise of the Intel Macs, those days are back. The Mac mini, as well as the iMac and the Mac Pro, is powered by an exchangeable CPU socket. While this will certainly void your AppleCare, upgrading an older Solo may be worth it.

Upgrade original MacBook with 802.11n |

"With the introduction of AirPort Extreme 802.11n base stations, Apple announced that the majority of its current machines are compatible with the draft of that standard via a drive update. On the other hand, the MacBook and MacBook Pro Core Duo aren't likely to get compatible Airport modules. For Apple, these machines are condemned to always remain at 802.11g. This is even more annoying if you buy one of the new base stations and decide to run in a mixed g and n wireless mode, because in this instance the performance in g will be degraded. Being in this exact situation, we decided to look at the possibility of placing a 802.11n card in a MacBook Core Duo. Though there was one problem: The Core 2 Duo models now have 3 antennas instead of the 2 in the preceding models. We were worried about having problems as a result of finding a module with 3 antenna connections and leaving one vacant. So we were shocked to find that the MacPro's Airport card which is also 802.11n compatible had only 2 antennas."

Make your own iPod dock extender |

"The most frequent request I get from folks reading about building a SoundDock Aux Input cable
is if I might build an extension cable that would allow them to connect
their iPod to a dock without having to put the iPod directly on the
docking cradle. You see, if you've put any kind of case on your iPod
there's a good chance that it no longer fits on the dock. This is true
for my iPod and the iSkin it is in. The idea for the extension cable is
to have a female iPod connector on one end and a male iPod connector on
the other...a flexible extension of the dock cradle."

Install/boot OS X on a flash drive |

"Remember when it was first revealed the Windows XP could be installed and booted off of a USB flash drive? Well, great for Windows users. What about Mac users? We were left out in the cold. If one were to search hard enough in the vast Web index that is Google, one could find just the snippets of how to boot a system from a USB drive, how to set a drive as bootable, yadda yadda yadda. Nothing guiding the way to creating a bootable installation of Mac OS X on a flash drive. I’m here to help."

Use Ubuntu, have an old iBook, need WiFi and don't want to pay a fortune for an old AirPort card? Mac modder Senao has the answer:
"The die-hard mac people are
already mad at me for switching to Ubuntu and liking it. So if
you're still reading this and asking me why I didn't just get an
airport card and be done with this problem, then
that means you're a bias free individual that can understand my
reasoning. Much like this ibook, the airport
card in question is no longer being manufactured by apple. So,
what happens when you take a reatively
expensive
wifi card and cease production of said card? Yeah, you guessed
it. The card gets freakin expensive! Even when
I turned back to my best friend - eBay, the 802.11b card still runs
from about $75 bucks on up. And I mean way up.
So after exhausting all of my eBaying techniques (broken cards,
misspelled auctions, etc...) I finally gave up on an apple
airport card. I cannot justify paying $75+ for an exceptionally
average 802.11b card."
