The Apple MacBook MB881LL-A 13.3-Inch Laptop



The Apple MacBook MB881LL/A 13.3-Inch laptop features a 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, a 120-gigabyte hard drive and NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics. This lightweight MacBook weighs in at about 5 pounds and is encased in a sleek, tough and attractive white polycarbonate shell. The computer is equipped with a 802.11n LAN Wi-Fi router, making the internet and Ethernet connection roughly five times faster and with twice the range of competitors using older 802.11g engines.

This laptop is also equipped with built-in Bluetooth wireless technology that can automatically connect cell phones and other appliances. The new Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard operating system features Time Machine, a data backing program known for being user-friendly. It also comes with an entire suite of Apple applications, including iMovie, iPhoto, iTunes, Garageband and the newest version of Safari web browser. An innovative MagSafe power adaptor connector prevents accidents.

Instead of having a traditional power plug, the new Apple MacBook MB881LL/A 13.3-Inch laptop is powered through a magnetic jack. This way, should someone happen to trip over the cord, there will be no damage to the cord or the laptop! The 13.3-inch widescreen displays crisp, clear and vivid picture in 1280 by 800 resolution. The NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor makes not only the everyday use smoother and easier, but can meet the high demands of 3D graphics games like Spore and Call of Duty.

For the technology this small but powerful machine offers, it comes at the reasonable price of just under $1000.Big things really do come in small packages with this MacBook. It’s light, durable and fully equipped for even the most demanding work and play. I would highly recommend the Apple MacBook MB881LL/A 13.3-Inch laptop to anybody.

Two more cases against the EA DRM

One in Pennsylvania and one in Missouri, also in the United States. Two new legal action against Electronic Arts due to digital rights management (DRM), after that started last September and on the anti-piracy content in Spore.

The case in Pennsylvania concerning the Spore Creature Creator, freely distributed by Electronic Arts to allow users to begin producing their own creatures before the release of the full version of Spore. Richard Eldridge, in this case, complained that the anti-piracy software is installed without permission.

“The inclusion of systems for digital rights management by strangers in freely distributed software is a violation of the right to control your machine,” we read in the summons. It points out, as had happened in the case on Spore, the DRM software can not be uninstalled after installing unauthorized.

The second case, that of Missouri, is the plaintiff Dianna Cortez and the video game The Sims 2: Bon Voyage, one of the many expansions of the family management of Electronic Arts. The plaintiff would have wanted to burn the contents of the CD Bon Voyage but finds discs perfectly empty. This will also prevent access to external storage devices like USB sticks and iPods. Only the formatting of the hard disk enabled it to get rid of Securom.
