Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

I think that if the offer is good, Bob should pull the trigger. Aebisher is not an happy camper right now. You don't want this in the desssing room during training camp and the initial phase of the season, when the team should be bounding and building their unity. I can understand that some of you are not secure with Huet and is short succes story. However, as we have seen last season, good chemistry and team spirit is a more and more important component of a winning team.
Also, lets be honnest here, by signing Huet yesturday, Bob commitited the team to play him as our #1 next season... Therefore, he will be provided every chances to proves that last season washn't a flash in the pan. Therefore, why should we keep and expensive backup that most certainly will not be provided that #1 job? It basicaly like Theo last season, he wasn't playing that good all season, but they kept playing him because he was hearning the big $ and that he was our #1. It's not until January that Huet was provided with the real chance to step up. Expect the same next season if Huet has an average start... They will play him as much a possible...
To me Danis as #2 to Huet is more then ok and could step up as #1 if need be for a short time. While he does not have Aebisher experience, he's much less expensive and will embrace his chance to stick with the big club (ie. will not complain). I beleive that he's ready to make the jump and... well he can't be sent to Hamilton without clearing waiver anyway. Bottom line is that we have three goalies... one needs to go. Aebischer make more sens then the others.

LG Presents Solar Powered E-Book 139
from the overcomes-my-battery-objection-at-least dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Couldn't the aftermarket industry simply offer up a E-Book sleeve/cover that has a built in solar cell and stays connected to the reader's power jack and bring this 'breakthrough' to any other E-Book desired?
They need to reduce the power consumption to the point that it can run off a solar cell being fed by ambient lighting.
I'm confused by the photos. Are they comparing it to a Sony PRS-505 reader or is it just a power source for the Sony reader?
Chances are you'd be able to plug it in during that time, so there's not much need for a solar panel.
Maybe so, but a solar panel + eInk would probably be able to run off of ambient light and therefore not normally need a charger at all.
Solar and wind-ups are the biggies for areas without power. The wind-ups are handy because you don't have to charge them in advance.
Solar lights seem to be big around here, basically being sold as garden/path lights that don't need any wiring. I picked up a ten pack on the weekend and put them on the trip hazards in the back yard. I have my doubts about the bug zapper, but I'll test it this weekend.
The Kindle charges from USB, doesn't it? Would something like this [instructables.com] do the trick?
If a 6600 used paper tape instead of core memory, it would use up tape at about 30 miles/second. -- Grishman, Assembly Language Programming

Girl Drivers Have Become More Agressive Than Boys

A recently released survey conducted by the Allstate Foundation in 2009 reveals that attitudes are shifting among teen drivers. Girls now report they're more likely to to drive aggressively and speed than boys.
Today's teen drivers say their biggest distraction in driving is... texting.
Among the findings:
• 16% of girls describe their driving as aggressive, up from 9% in 2005
• 13% of boys describe their driving as aggressive, down from 20% in 2005
• Nearly half (48%) of girls admit they are likely to speed more than 10 m.p.h. over the limit, versus 36% of boys
• More than 49% of teens report texting as a distraction, up from 31% in 2005
• 82% of teens report using cell phones while driving, while 23% admit to drinking and driving
• 51% of girls are likely to use a cell phone to talk, text or email while driving, versus 38% of boys
Historically, teen boy drivers have paid higher rates for insurance than girls. Will the changes in reported attitudes and behaviors result in parents paying more to insure their teen girls? It's probably too early to tell as rates are largely set by accident claim demographics. But if increased aggressive driving and speeding among teen girls results in more accidents, then it is likely that their insurance rates will begin to climb.

Romney Says Election Is Not About Money, Despite All Evidence To The Contrary
Money has always been important, and Mitt's cash is doing some major damage to Newt.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who has far out-raised the rest of the Republican presidential field, rejected accusations by former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich that he was buying the election.
Gingrich said he was being Romney-boated by a slew of negative attack ads by independent expenditure groups allied with Romney.
"If I had spent $20 mil defining Romney he'd be at 3 [percent]," Gingrich said.
Speaking to a crouching mass of reporters in the side room of an Atlantic, Iowa diner, Romney noted Gingrich had his best fundraising quarter yet.
"This is an election, however, that is not being driven by money raised, it's being driven by message, by connection with the voters, by debates, experience," he said. "Those are the issues that have been driving the debate so far."
But negative ads have done more to damage Newt Gingrich than anything else in this campaign. Voters had largely overlooked and ignored his eccentricities and prior sins when they propelled him to the front of the pack in Iowa and nationally.
But a barrage of attack ads from Rep. Ron Paul and Romney's Super PACs undoubtedly caused Gingrich's poll collapse — especially in Iowa, where the majority of the ads have aired and he's seen his largest declines.
As we pointed out this morning, this election has proven yet again that the conventional ways of politicking — retail and television ads — are just as important as they've always been.
Gingrich may just be the starkest example that the truism is holding.

Annual Football Draft Do's and Dont's
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network)
- With NFL training camp underway, it's time to think about this fall's NFL Fantasy Leagues and how you will approach your draft. Here are some recommended do's and don'ts.
Do have fun. Draft Day is the best day of the year, except for the day you clinch the title. It's even more fun if you and your fellow owners can make a day of it. In one of my leagues we have a golf outing before we sit down to draft and the golf (and beer) bring out the trash talk early and often.
Do gather as much information as you need, whether it is through the Internet or magazines, pay or free.
Don't bring too much information to the draft. It's ok to read as much as you can, but make it simple on draft day. Have a list of all eligible players and put your notes there. This shouldn't be more than a couple of pages at most. Too much info and you spend more time trying to find a name than paying attention to the flow of the draft.
Don't pay too much attention to preseason. Except for injuries, there is nothing you will learn when a starting quarterback plays against a guy who will end up on the practice squad or cut.
Do get involved in a mock draft prior to your most important draft. It helps you get a grasp of what other owners are thinking.
Do try an auction draft. There are many advantages, particularly if you have a favorite player. He might already be drafted ahead of your pick in a "snake" draft, but in an auction draft he can be yours with just a little patience and planning.
Don't be afraid to trade a draft choice. Now is not the time to sit back when you see an opening. If an owner has made a tactical mistake, don't let the "other" guy profit.
Do take a chance at least once in the draft, either by picking a relative unknown or drafting a player you really believe will blossom a round too early. Nothing is worse than knowing a player will have a breakout year and you waiting too long to pull the trigger then watching someone else enjoy the rewards.
Do make sure your league commissioner is strong and fair. Nothing can destroy a league faster than a "questionable" trade being allowed or an owner bypassing a grey area in the rules. On the other hand, if lineups are do at 12 p.m. and a lineup arrives by e-mail at 12:03 with no advantage being gained in the delay, sometimes the intent is more important than ruling with an "iron fist." We're all here to have fun.
Don't forget to get your up-to-date information and game-day stats from The Sports Network (shameless plug).

Pi Day Trivia
Since not everyone could make it out and people seem to like this sort of thing, here's some pi- (and pie-) related trivia!
Question One
In the Star Trek episode "Wolf in the Fold", the Enterprise's computer (spoiler alert) becomes possessed by the spirit of Jack the Ripper. (God, Star Trek was dumb sometimes...) How does Spock foil the evil computer? (Answer)
Question Two
The digits of pi go on forever in a seemingly random sequence, meaning that it falls into which class of numbers? (Answer)
Question Three
Who said, "If you wish to make an Apple Pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe"? (Answer)
Question Four
While pi is popular, a minority of mathematicians argue that a constant equal to 2π would make for a better circle constant, for a host of (I think very convincing) reasons. What do they call their "2π" constant? (Answer)
Question Five
How long has the Greek letter "π" been used to represent the circle constant? (Answer)
Question Six
This successful World War II operation, which involved persuading the Germans that the Allies planned to invade Greece by planting fake war plans on a corpse in Spain, was named after a suet pie. (Answer)
Question Seven
Pi Day (14 March) is also the birthday of which famous physicist? (Answer)
Question Eight
According to a band member, a vision involving a man atop a flaming pie influenced a famous band's name. Which band? (Answer)
Question Nine
Some of the earliest attempts to understand pi involved trying to do something that has now become a euphemism for a hopeless or impossible task. What is it? (Answer)
Question Ten
In 2005 the world record for memorizing the digits of pi was claimed by Chao Lu, a Chinese engineering student. How long did he spend reciting pi? (Answer)
I was going to have some questions about radians, but I couldn't figure out how to formulate them in a way that was remotely entertaining. So... there aren't any. You're welcome.
Answer One
He instructs it to compute pi right down to the last digit, a task that it can never complete.
Answer Two
Irrational numbers
Answer Three
Carl Sagan
Answer Four
Tau. Pi is defined as the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter; but it's often written as the ratio of a circles circumference to double its radius (remember C = 2πr?). Tau is the ratio of a circle's radius (rather than circumference) to its diameter, and it simplifies many common mathematical formulae.
Answer Five
About 300 years. It was William Jones who chose the Greek letter "π" to represent the circle constant in 1706. This choice was later popularized by Euler. Before the symbol's introduction, mathematics was a lot wordier, involving things like, "let x be the quantity which, when the diameter is multiplied by it, yields the circumference".
Answer Six
Operation Mincemeat, which was a British disinformation plan that persuaded Germany that they had accidentally intercepted "top secret" Allied documents. These plans were attached to a corpse deliberately left to wash up on a beach in Punta Umbría in Spain, and served to cover the actual Allied invasion of Italy from North Africa.
Mincemeat itself is a mixture of chopped dried fruit, distilled spirits and spices, and sometimes beef or suet. Originally, mincemeat always contained meat, but this is no longer the rule.
Answer Seven
Albert Einstein
Answer Eight
The Beatles. In a 1961 interview with Mersey Beat, John Lennon told the following story: "It came in a vision – a man appeared on a flaming pie and said unto them, 'From this day on you are Beatles with an A.' And so we were."
Answer Nine
Squaring the circle. That is to say: constructing a square with the same area as a given circle using only a compass and straightedge.
Answer Ten
24 hours (and 4 minutes). So if you spent Pi Day eating pie, or doing anything at all other than reciting numbers, be grateful. In 2005, Chao Lu recited 67,890 digits of pi correctly, claiming the previous record from Hiroyuki Goto of Japan. Goto's record was 42,195 digits. How useful is this? Well, for comparison, you could compute the circumference of a circle around the known universe with an error no greater than the radius of a hydrogen atom using only 39 decimal places.

Configuring Flask, uWSGI, and Nginx (Updated!)
In a departure from what I often write about, I'm going to talk a little bit about something that is tangentially related to what I actually do for a living: running a web server. So I'm going to give a brief tutorial on setting up uWSGI (in Emperor mode) and Nginx so that you can run one or more Python Flask instances on a server.
Port Forwarding
Why? Well, I'm far from a pro at anything related to networking or web development, but I have been writing a few web tools lately just for fun. Initially, I had several different Flask/Werkzeug instances running in what was essentially a dev mode on different ports on my server, and I had each of these ports forwarded. But...
...this was ungainly, running multiple Werkzeug instances was inefficient, I didn't want to have to forward all of those ports, and damn it, I wanted to do things right. But, as this isn't my area of expertise, it took me a while to put all of these pieces together, because many of the examples that I was able to find were light on the details. I'm putting this here in the hope that someone else in my situation might find it useful.
So here are the relevant details. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 and I'm using Python 3.4 (and 2.7.9), Flask 0.10, uWSGI 2.0.9, and Nginx 1.1.19. If you are missing any of these, you'll want to install them with your package manager of choice. For example:
$ sudo apt-get install python $ sudo apt-get install uwsgi $ sudo apt-get install nginx $ pip3 install flask
Some caveats: First, if you're running Python 2.x, you'll want to ensure that Flask is available for it, as well. (You can try
pip install flask, depending on your configuration.) Second, if you're planning to run multiple Flask applications using multiple versions of Python, you may have to build uWSGI core from source and specify which Python plugin to use for each application. Building uWSGI from source isn't the worst thing in the world; instructions for building the application and the necessary plugins are available here.
The goal here is to run multiple Flask servers on one machine without having to worry about port numbers and the like. We'll start with just one, and I'm sure that you can figure the rest out from there.
First you need a Flask application to run. How about this one? I wrote it a few months ago because I wanted to translate GET requests to POST requests. (At the time that I'm writing this, that particular application hasn't been updated to use Python 3.)
Navigate to the directory you'd like to install it to (probably
/opt/ or
/var/www/), then clone it. You'll want to verify that it runs locally on its own first.
$ cd /opt $ git clone https://github.com/spurll/post.git $ post/run.py
In a web browser on the same server, navigate to
http://localhost:9999 and verify that the application is accessible. If you're running headless (as I am) you can always spawn the process to the background with
post/run.py & and then
curl localhost:9999 and verify that you don't get an error back. You can now kill the Python process.
Flask is now set up!
First, test that uWSGI will run your application correctly on its own:
$ cd /opt/post $ uwsgi --socket 127.0.0.1:9999 --protocol=http -w run:app
In this case,
run is the name of the Python source file that contains our application (
/opt/post/run.py) and
app is the name of the Werkzeug/Flask application object contained in that file. Verify that the application is accessible again from
http://localhost:9999 as above.
If everything is working correctly, kill the uWSGI instance. It's now time to configure uWSGI's Emperor mode. This allows us to essentially have one master process that oversees all of our web applications, starting (and restarting) them when needed and logging as appropriate. You will probably have to install a few plugins, too, using your package manager of choice. (Note that if you want to support multiple Python versions, you may need to build these plugins from source, as mentioned above.) Assuming you want to use the standard plugins:
$ sudo apt-get install uwsgi-plugin-python $ sudo apt-get install uwsgi-plugin-http
By default, your uWSGI master configuration file will probably be located at
/etc/init/uwsgi.conf. Edit it with your editor of choice (I'm a Vim guy, myself):
$ sudo vim /etc/init/uwsgi.conf
It should look something like this:
description "uWSGI" start on runlevel [2345] stop on runlevel [06] respawn env UWSGI=/usr/bin/uwsgi env LOGTO=/var/log/uwsgi/emperor.log exec $UWSGI --master --emperor /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled --die-on-term --uid www-data --gid www-data --logto $LOGTO
You can change the location of the Emperor's log file by changing the
LOGTO environment variable. You can also modify which user (
--uid) and group (
--gid) the Emperor will run as.
Now it's time to configure the applications. Your application-specific configuration files (in this case, for the POST program that we installed to
/opt/post/) will probably be found at
/etc/uwsgi/apps-available/. Create a new file there and call it
post.ini. It should like something like this:
[uwsgi] # Variables url_mount = /%n base = /opt/%n app = run callable = app # Plugins plugins-dir = /usr/lib/uwsgi/plugins plugins = python,http # URL Script Mounting mount = %(url_mount)=%(base)/%(app).py manage-script-name = true # Generic Config pythonpath = %(base) socket = /opt/run/%n.sock module = %(app) logto = /var/log/uwsgi/%n.log
url_mount is the mount-point for the application (for example, if you're running the application at
http://www.yourserver.com/post, the value would be
base is the base directory of our application (the directory that contains the module we want to run),
app contains the name of the module to run (in this case
run, for
callable is the name of the Werkzeug/Flask callable application object (if you don't supply this, uWSGI will assume that it's called
application), and
socket defines the location of the socket you'd like Nginx to use when communicating with your uWSGI server. The
%n references the name of our file (sans extension) to maintain consistency.
You'll need to ensure that the location of your sockets (in this case,
/opt/run/) exists and that the appropriate user (in this case,
www-data) has write permissions.
This configuration assumes that you want to run your program using the modules installed on your system's Python. Plugins might prove to be an issue. You'll want to point
plugins-dir to the appropriate path, and make sure that you have the appropriate plugin. If you're running Python 3.x (or you want to specify a specific Python plugin for uWSGI for some other reason), you can point
plugins at something like
python34 (which you may have to build) instead.
To run the application in a virtual environment, you can add a line defining
home = %(base)/virtualenv
virtualenv is the directory containing the Python virtual environment you'd like to use. (In our case, that would be at
/opt/post/virtualenv/, if we were using a virtual environment.)
Once you're ready, create a symbolic link to place the
post.ini file you've created in the
apps-enabled directory:
$ sudo ln -s /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/post.ini /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/post.ini
You can start the uWSGI process (if you haven't already) like this:
$ sudo service uwsgi start
As soon as your Emperor process sees an application configuration file in
apps-enabled it will start up a uWSGI instance to serve requests for that application. If you'd like to set up additional Flask applications at this time, simply install them and create uWSGI configuration files for each (and don't forget to link them to
apps-enabled!). If you're having trouble, take a look at the logs (which are probably in
The uWSGI Emperor is now set up!
We're almost there!
The default configuration file for Nginx should be located at
/etc/nginx/sites-available/default. Feel free to edit this one, or create your own. By default, Nginx will point requests on port 80 (the default HTTP port) to
/usr/share/nginx/www. If you'd like to point them somewhere else (such as
/var/www/) you can change that here. Here's a brief Nginx configuration file that you can use to run connect your uWSGI server to the outside world:
# server unix:///path/to/your/site.sock; # For a file socket. # server 127.0.0.1:9999; # For a port. upstream post { server unix:///opt/run/post.sock; } server { listen 80; server_name your.server.url; access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log; error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log; root /var/www; index index.html index.htm; # GET to POST location /post { include uwsgi_params; uwsgi_pass post; } }
your.server.url with the URL for your server (you can use
localhost for testing purposes). This configuration assumes that you'd like your application to be accessible at
http://your.server.url/post. If you'd like it to take the place of the main page at
http://your.server.url/, modify the
location appropriately.
Note that current versions of uWSGI no longer support the (long-deprecated)
uwsgi_modifier1 30; to pass this mount information on to uWSGI, so if you're running multiple applications (or don't want to host your application on
/) you will probably want to pay attention to the script mounting information for uWSGI above.
Once you're done, create a soft link to
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ for each of the entries in
/etc/nginx/sites-available/. Now you can start your Nginx service.
$ sudo service nginx start
Every time you modify the Nginx configuration file, you'll have to restart the it.
Port Forwarding
If you're running this server from your home or office and you need external access, don't forgot to forward port 80 so that Nginx is accessible. Instructions for your router are probably available here.
I used several sites while putting this all together. If you're stuck, they may contain additional information that I neglected to include here. Here are the most helpful of the bunch:
Deploying Flask on uWSGI
Multiple Django and Flask Sites with Nginx and uWSGI Emperor
How to Setup Nginx
uWSGI Example Configuration
I also had some help from my friends and colleagues BCJ and Curtis when I was initially setting up Nginx. Thanks, gents!

Ideological Boundaries
straw soldiers that I could easily knock down, but it's still difficult to be fair when discussing philosophical or ideological positions that I don't share, especially when these elements aren't the focus of the narrative.
But it's important to be fair. There's a group of people in this book who started off as the enemies, the "big bads", the primary antagonists of the story. It was easy to outline. But as I wrote it, I realised that these people weren't people: they were one character—one guy—just repeated over and over, copied ad nauseam. No nuance, no disagreement, only a clone army, dressed differently but marching in ideological lockstep. That's dangerous, and it's boring, and it doesn't make for much of a good story.
It's not all fixed now (I haven't even completed a first draft: nothing's fixed!), but at least I'm aware of the problem. And when and if the book is published, I look forward to hearing from everyone how unfairly I have portrayed those who disagree with me.
I was thinking about all of this last night as I was polishing up a chapter that I was especially proud of, and over lunch today I happened to stumble upon this really excellent video from Hank Green, in which he discusses polarizing ideological monoculture, and the important diversity that thrives in boundary zones.

In a world with many different religions and types of people come multiple views on God.
In an effort to collect those views, the Rev. Dr. John Page, who oversees discipleship and missions at Athens First United Methodist Church, created www.wheredoyouseegod.com, where people can type in their response to the question "Where do you see God?"
"I had long since settled the point never to prefer a place of comfort to one of usefulness."
— Rev. Joseph G. Binney
It was described as a "living funeral."
In November 1843, the Rev. Joseph G. and Juliette P. Binney bid goodbye to family and friends before sailing on the ship "Charles" bound from Boston to Burma.
Riverside Baptist Church in Colbert will hold an international service on Sunday that includes a flag procession, music by a group from Africa and a sermon by a pastor from Ghana.
The service will reflect the fact that people from about a dozen countries attend the church on Georgia Highway 72.
"I think it's a beautiful service honoring God, and it reflects his heart for all people," said the Rev. Joe Wood, who has been at the church since it was founded 10 years ago.
Riverside has members from many countries, from Korea to Kenya and Brazil.

Each day's session will begin with a musical interlude.

The symposium on March 10, titled "Beware of Bringing Reproach on God's Name," will help all to avoid becoming entrapped by four potential snares.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Arthur was in his 90s and for months had been in and out of Providence Medical Center.
When he became critically ill, he received a prayer shawl.
"He felt that it was a tangible sign that the Lord was with him," said Chaplain Josie Sandoval, who presented the gift. Arthur died recently.
The shawl came from a prayer shawl group that gathers at Trinity United Methodist Church in Kansas City, Kan.

The Rev. Justin Hoye, pastor at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Kansas City, Mo.: When one leaves a worshipping community, I fear it has more to do with evading an issue and less to do with following Jesus.
In the sixth chapter of the Gospel of John, when Jesus delivers a long and intense pronouncement on the reception of his body and blood, many of Jesus' disciples leave. His words carry scandal; too hard to accept.
Chabad at the University of Georgia prides itself on creating a "home away from home" for Jewish students at UGA and the surrounding colleges.
On March 2, Rabbi Michoel Refson of Chabad of Athens/UGA will host the second Shabbat 500, a gathering of Jewish students from across UGA's campus, to engage the Jewish student community and help instill in them the Jewish values of giving, kindness and bringing goodness to the local community.
Life is short.
It doesn't matter how many years we have, it is still short. There aren't enough years no matter how many of them we are granted.
This past Wednesday, Christians observed Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the season of Lent. It gets its name from an ancient church tradition with roots in scripture where throwing ashes over one's head was a sign of repentance before God.
The prophet Jeremiah called for repentance saying, "O daughter of my people, gird on sackcloth, roll in the ashes."

Replacement Guide
iMac Intel 27" EMC 2429
Difficulty: Difficult
Required ToolsAdd All Tools to Cart »
February 12, 2015
My Problem
Was running out of hard drive space on both of my stock hard drives. External drives were too slow. I run OSX on one drive, and Windows on the other, and wanted to drop in two larger drives.
My Fix
This job was a lot easier than I thought.
Removal of the screen was simple with the provided suction cups. The screen is held in place by high powered magenets which were annoying when removing the screws that mounted the monitor into the chassis.
I discovered I didn't need the dual drive kit to upgrade my SSD as the wiring harness was already there and in place (DUH)... I had ordered it -just in case-
The new 2.5" SSD drive replaced the stock 2.5" SSD perfectly, and the old SSD was moved to where the HDD was, with a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter.
everything went back together easily. no problems. Restored from Time machine backup. did a fresh install of windows 8 on one drive and a recovery install of OSX on the other.
My Advice
Was almost too easy.
October 15, 2014
My Problem
HDD was too slow, so I figured an SSD was in order.
My Fix
Well, overall. Unscrewing screws and unplugging the connectors took some time, but in the end it worked out. Had a temporary scare where I couldn't fit the logic board into its tight space, but after a few minutes of manoeuvring, all was well.
Was also concerned that removing the optical drive might cause the computer to act strange, but fortunately that was not the case.
My Advice
Do it. Make sure you have the right tools and parts, and take your time.
Beware that reinstalling the Operating System on the SSD and restoring from a Time Machine backup took some time.
September 17, 2014
My Problem
Install an SSD drive in a old iMac 27" 2011. Now it's a new computer, 4x faster.
My Fix
The process was really good. I'll never open an iMac before and i did it in my first time.
My Advice
Patience, i need 90 minutes to make the installation.
September 2, 2014
My Problem
Noticing slowness, wanted to checkout how fast ssd's were.
My Fix
Overall it went ok , with some bumps I the road. After watching the video and studying the how to's, still made some mistakes. The ssd wasn't being detected the first couple of boot ups, had to remove everything /reconnect everything 3 times! Before it was finally detected, not fun.
My Advice
I found it easier to leave iMac standing instead of laying on it's back. And if you still have the box it came in , use it!, much easier than trying to find 2 flat surfaces for glass / LCD.
May 6, 2014
My Problem
The 1TB hard drive in my 2011 iMac started failing. Luckily I had everything backed up on externals. I was super excited to see that iFixit had a dual hard drive kit, so I ordered that plus a 500GB SSD for my boot drive and a 3TB HDD for bulk storage.
My Fix
The repair went amazingly well. A co-worker helped me with the repair which was VERY important when we were taking the screen off. We took our time and were very gentle with all the connections, so nothing was damaged. It was a great opportunity to clean out all the dust with canned air too.
The instructions were very clear and well defined, with excellent pictures. Using iFixit's Magnetic Project Mat and Pro Tech Toolkit made everything much easier and faster. It took us 3 hours total to tear it apart, install the dual HD kit + the 2 HDs and put it back together. We all held our breath when we plugged the power back into it and pushed the ON button... success! High fives for everyone.
Before we got started I was nervous about repairing my own computer. Now that I (with help) have repaired my own computer I am much more confident that I can repair other devices using the guides on this website.
My Advice
I simply wish I had believed earlier that electronics repair isn't magical or out of reach as long as I have the right tools and an excellent guide to follow. By doing in-house repair we saved a lot of money (was even thinking of just buying a new computer initially), plus my computer is way faster and cooler than it was before.
Advice? JUST DO IT.
May 2, 2014
My Problem
My Mac was running too slow for having a state of the art processor, 12 gb of ram and a nice video card. I do a lot lf photoshop editing and I was sick and tired of being bogged down by my HD speed. I learned about ssd's several years back, but they were so expensive and didn't last very long. Now the prices have come down tremendously and I went ahead and bit the bullet. Can't say I regret anything!!
My Fix
Easiest job I've ever done. Never worked on a computer before, took me an hour and ten minutes from the time I took the glass screen off till the time I reinstalled it. Booted up, installed mavericks and apples time machine backup made it easier than ever to transfer certain files to SSD (like apps and anything my OS needed to read heavily) and other files back onto the 1TB internal hdd (such as iPhoto library and iTunes.) this process took the longest at around 4 hours as I have over a TB of music, apps, photos and videos combined.
My Advice
Don't take the logic board out. Just unscrew it, and bend it slightly towards you. That way you don't have all those "It took forever to realign the logic board" complaints. That seemed to me to be the most general complaint and I didn't have that problem at all. Also, plugging in USB will help you to realign it if necessary.
April 17, 2014
My Problem
Really wanted a SSD in my iMac but also wanted the storage of a HDD
My Fix
It was a lot easier than I expected. Very nervous the whole time but it was worth it
My Advice
Take your time and watch the ifixit and the OWC video a couple times in advance so you know what to expect and to catch different thigns to make sure. Also put all screws in seperate bowls and label where they came from
April 11, 2014
My Problem
After upgrading my MacBook Pro to have an SSD I really felt how slow my iMac was, so I decided to put in the addition.
My Fix
Flawlessly! The repair took around 1.5 hours. The scariest bit for me was initially taking off the glass; I was terrified it was going to shatter! Luckily it didn't.
My Advice
Watch the instructional video a couple (hundred) times before attempting the install. Make sure you know what you're getting yourself into as it is not a simple upgrade.
February 4, 2014
My Problem
My iMac was struggling along with a 1TB spinning hard drive...
An SSD would give it a new lease of life and stop me hankering after a new model. It's Only 2 years old after all!
My Fix
I have learned over the years to take any repairs like this SLOWLY...
All went well and the iFixit guide was brilliant.
I could not be happier!
My Advice
Have a go! Just take your time and follow the guide. I set up my laptop next to the iMac so I could refer to it instantly.
February 27, 2013
My Problem
My iMac's hard drive has been lagging for a while: the system has a fast processor, 16GB of fast memory, but the hard drive was keeping this beautiful computer from realizing its full potential. Buying one of the 2012 iMacs was out of the question, but adding a 512 GB SSD (Samsung 840 Pro) has turned this iMac into a speed demon! I like being able to keep the original 1TB drive for extra storage, too.
My Fix
The repair kit and step-by-step instructions from iFixit were exactly what I needed to attempt (and complete!) this tricky upgrade. I took my time (there's lots of tiny wires and connectors), and completed the upgrade in just about an hour.
My Advice
I used a piece of paper to keep all of the screws and other bits organized: just draw lines to divide the paper up into boxes with labels (Step 1, Step 2, etc). It even helps sometimes to draw little diagrams on the paper to show where the different-sized screws go. For more complicated teardowns, I've used a fishing tackle tray with removable dividers, but the paper works just fine for smaller projects like this.
