Why? He’s already out of warranty. It makes much more sense to have a larger internal drive. I say, take it to some Apple Authorised Reseller you know and have them do it. If no one does, ship it off to Milind and he’ll get it done for you. :p

did you read my post correctly? I am going for a 7500 rpm drive for the performance boost that it'll give. or I could have gone for the samsung 500 gb drive. I already have an external drive but its not very convenient.

I can't just pull my laptop out of my bag at a friend's place and show him the gargantuan itunes library or the stock of HD movies I have on my notebook. :D

And I got this off of another forum for .mkv files

"look at a media extender device such as the MediaGate or Zensonic."

I figure if there's a device that connects to your hdtv and can recieve streams through your local network, its possible to use vlc to stream that content over.

Oh wait, should have looked before I typed that.
go for a device called TViX 4100SH from *www.tvixbox.com/product_details.php?product_id=23

but its rather pricey.Wikipedia page *en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matroska lists more hardware that supports mkv

Buy a mid-end or low-end white macbook. If you want to, also think about buying the black macbook.
If you are in the US, Canada or HK, UK, Ireland blablabla...
You can get a free ipod touch or ipod nano if you are college student in a certified college. There are also savings on any mac.

My Uncle, who was a father figure for our family expired this week and hence I was unable to catch up with this thread, Smoking Apples and also the blogs of MacBoys. I think I should be able to start all of it in just a couple of days.

How can I access my HFS partition on Windows and NTFS one on OS X?
I wanna play some cricket games on 24" glossy screen rather than the ever-crappy 17".

Accessing Ext3, NTFS, HFS+ Via Windows, Ubuntu & OS X

For paid solutions as suggested by Goobi in the comments on the post you might wanna try:

NTFS in OS X is Paragon NTFS - Costs $30.

HFS on Windows - MacDrive.

I would suggest you use MacDrive for HFS on Windows, HFS Explorer is only meant for just in case uses. Its a crappy but free app.
