It's a Macbook 2.1 so yea u can find out the specs from that! it's pretty sweet that's all i'm sayin
how come like 50% of the time the bloody Camera on the MacBook doesn't work?!?!? This may have been posted before but i can't find it. i really wanna know why and how to change this unreliable aspect of the camera.

the green light is always on but only half the time it is actually detected by anything!

I am aware of the rules, but nobody answered me there but there is usually a little bit more feedback on this room, so i thought there would be more of a chance of my question getting sought to.

Sorry if that sounds cheap or needy i was just frustrated and i wanted an answer!

Real nice... so, is this the only place where ettiquete and rules don't apply to you because of how you're feeling at a given moment?

Then, as a moderator, you should know that each forum has its own set of rules. Forum etiquette is still pretty universal, but having a good attitude and manners will often be a lot more productive than acting like a spoiled child - and, even worse, being boastful about it.
