I recently installed the Ultimate version of Windows 7 RM in English on my MacBook using the BootCamp of Apple. I already had too many experiences with installing Windows XP on a MAC, so i was quiet sure that i knew what i was doing when i all started the Windows 7 installation. So, once i got the Windows 7 installed, i used the first Mac OS Installation CD to install all the necessary Apple drivers. When i ran the setup, first i got the incompatibility message but i choose the "continue anyway" (or something like that :) and everything went great... except the sound!Actually, i could see that the sound drivers seems to be ok in the Computer Management of Windows. After a little Google search, i finally found that solution and i can guarantee you that this one is working... SOLUTION : - Install the latest Sound Drivers for Windows 7 ( DOWNLOAD FROM HERE ) - Sound Card Model : ALC5621

Software can offer a definite piece of mind over browser-based solutions. Most of these apps can run quietly in the background, and can save footage to your hard drive for archiving. High-end Webcams often come with their own security software, so in the spirit of this guide, we're going with generic software that should work with any model: Yawcam (PC) Yawcam is free and PC-only. It's a complex program but not too complex to set-up. The app lets you set whether you want to capture all of the motion within the frame or just a part of it. I used it to track motion in a specific part of my workplace: CNET colleague Rafe Needleman's office door. Any time he came in or out of his office it took a photo. At home this is more useful if you point it toward something like a door or entry way, which can keep it from picking up one of your pets moving around. The app does an exceptional job at letting you pick various ways you want to be notified. You can have it upload screen shots...

Father of an 11-year-old girl in the U.K. said Apple tried to keep him from speaking about his daughter's iPod after it exploded last month. Speaking to The Times in the U.K., Ken Stanborough said after he dropped the iPod Touch, it began hissing and started to get hot. As a precaution, he threw the iPod outside and "within 30 seconds there was a pop, a big puff of smoke and it went 10 (feet) in the air," he said. Apple agreed to give Stanborough a refund, but only if he signed a confidentiality agreement, agreeing not to disclose any information about the incident. Stanborough said he found the letter "appalling" and refused to sign it. To be fair, letters from companies in situations like this are most likely standard procedure. However, this isn't the first time Apple has been accused of trying to stop people from reporting on faulty iPods. Reporter Amy Clancy of KIRO-TV in Seattle said it took her more than seven months to get documents from the Consumer...
