Inside Bluetooth 2.0

Apple's latest PowerBook update delivered more than just a speed bump. It also integrates Bluetooth 2.0+EDR technology into the laptops. But what advantages does this updated wireless connectivity standard deliver to Mac users? And why did Apple adopt it long before any Bluetooth 2.0 devices have arrived? We've got the answers to these questions and more in our examination of Bluetooth 2.0.

Report: iMac G5

"My theory:
The noise is not caused by mechanical rubbing of the fan blade and housing or other components. Instead, I think that as the fan rotates at high speeds, there is a slight lateral wobble caused by the play I noted in the bearings.

The wobble is due to the magnet passing by the four iron poles and being strongly pulled toward that pole (or perhaps being repelled as the coils are actively pulsed by the driving circuitry). In any case, I believe it comes down to the lateral play in the ball bearings.

I believe the noise is emanating from the bearings themselves as they move laterally ever so slightly, but at high speeds. Perhaps the noise is then being amplified or resonating within the plastic fan housing as the vibrations are transmitted through the structure."

The world needs more nutbars like this. I mean that in a nice way. The guy goes into huge detail about the construction of the fans. He's probably right. Certainly the noise is irritating and I hope they come up with a solution.

HOW-TO: Turn your Mac mini into a low-cost recording studio - Engadget - www.engadget.com
"So we know that everybody, their sister and their cousin, too are working on how to use the Mac mini in a home theater setup (we are not immune!). But better yet - one thing you can just never teach your TiVo is how to be a music production station. Gone are the days of needing hundreds of thousands of dollars to set up a studio to produce your own tracks; a decent digital audio workstation can now be set up for comparatively ridiculously low cost.”

Okay this is when it officially...

Okay this is when it officially got totally out of control. An executive at General Motors is podcasting.
