Dell’s meagre Ubuntu support doesn’t make firmware updates easy. Their monstrous OMSA doesn’t do it, and their RedHat packages are pretty hideous even on RedHat! Here’s a solution running on Ubuntu Lucid 10.04.
Changing MacBook Bezel
I recently had cause to change the bezel on my rev A 13″ MacBook. If you follow the guide on MacFixit, it is a long and complicated procedure, involving dismantling nearly everything. Luckily, most of it is unnecessary – it’s really quite easy to simply remove the bezel without dismantling anything; just jump straight to step 35 and carry on from there.
