Anyone have Halo?

can't seem find full game anywhere, trial. found 100$ thats bit much. know can game free or atleast reasonable price?   the original ppc-only mac version comes on ebay or amazon. unfortunately later universal binary version (which adds support gamepads, runs smoother, , allows playing online windows players) harder find - physical releases limited , site on sold digitally no longer sells it.   Forums Macs PowerPC Macs iPhone Mac OS & System Software iPad Apple Watch Notebooks iTunes Apple ID iCloud Desktop Computers Apple Music Professional Applications iPod iWork Apple TV iLife Wireless

Did you split your hard drive?

do guys partition hard drive easier reinstalls? read posts partitioning hard drive on yosemite got more tricky before. anyway using disk utility can see able split 2 partitions, not more. why not? 2 partitions need, if down road decide want partition linux or bootcamp? , able merge 2 partitions 1 if want to? moreover, want /users folder set onto second partition. found different tutorials accomplish. 1 of them pretty straightforward http://computers.tutsplus.com/tutor...-folder-to-another-drive-or-volume--mac-48822 other tutorials claim editing /etc/fstab needed. think many mac users, besides me, have several volumes convenience. how guys accomplish things that?   you not able manipulate partition on drive @ point because yosemite install converted drive core storage. if want manipulate partitions, need run off core storage running command below in terminal. disconnect other drives

Carrier Charges for FaceTime?

i heard friend (who i'm using t-mobile new set of iphones 5s) saw significant charge on recent cell bill due facetime usage. haven't seen bill, has me entirely confused. far understand, facetime uses data, period. if it's wifi, has nothing carriers. if it's on cellular network, carriers disable entirely (at least in past--can anymore?), if it's enabled, facetime data same other data. long don't go on data limit or incur roaming charges, should cost nothing. , since t-mobile doesn't have overage charges, throttle, should impossible rack charges unless have data roaming turned on , roaming when using it. wrong this? there fine print i've never heard of? know i've used facetime video on t-mobile's network own iphone , charge i've ever had when accidentally made international phone call in canada without recognizing area code non-us. i'm going ask see bill can figure out what's up.

My 13" MBP Retina display is busted - best/cheapest repair suggestions needed

so goal see difference in speed through new kanex tbolt ethernet + usb 3.0 adapter on usb-speed-deprived 2011 2.7 i5 imac. no surprise read & write speeds have improved considerably, going 2.0 3.0 on same external hd (sp armor 30, 1 tb 5400 rpm). example, using black magic speed test, see approximately 3x speed change. speed through adapter same if hd connected directly or through powered hub (12v 2a anker ah111). thing noticed bit strange ~25% difference in speed running 2.0 usb (i.e., not through kanex) directly vs. through hub. easier see through numbers. these numbers pretty consistent no matter how many times run test. i'm not paying attention actual mb/s speeds don't know how accurate blackmagic app is, more relative speeds, i.e., percentage difference. usb2, directly mac - ~31 write/~37 read usb2, through hub - ~24 write/~30 read usb3, directly mac - ~100 write/~108 read usb3, through hub - ~104 write/~107 read
