Babble On

To find the mac address of your MacBook’s wireless interface:

1. Open up Network Preferences
2. Select AirPort and click the Advanced… button
3. The mac address will then be listed as AirPort ID

Having been the owner of a white MacBook for a day or so, I’d been casually niggled by the inconsistent nature of the trackpad button. Press it on the right, you get a satisfying ‘click’. Press it on the left and not much happens - just a vague impression of movement with no real feedback.

A quick search on Google yielded an unlikely fix. Essentially, you fold up a tiny piece of paper and shove it in the battery compartment… and, questionable as it seems, it works! It took a bit of experimentation with the paper length (my MacBook seemed to need 2 1/2 inches rather than 4), but I now have a fully clickable trackpad button.
