What do I need to replace on my Powerbook G4 17-inch if the sound is fuzzy after I spilled coffee on it?

Hi everyone,

So like I said, I spilled coffee, with sugar no less, on the left side of my beautiful Powerbook G4 17-inch not too long ago. The only thing that is wrong with it now is...


A new Powerbook. It will cost almost as much to fix it as it would to replace it. And it still may not work.
Good Luck

Keyboard for Apple tablet already here?

Recently, my confrere Rafe Needleman wrote a column titled " Why consumers won't buy tablets ." The article was a bid reference to the long-standing rumor that Apple may be releasing a slate-fashion, jumbo iPod Touch this fall. Rafe doesn't definitely believe Apple would be misguided enough to release a tablet and that if it does put one out in the rumored $700 to $800 sacrifice range, "it will die." He also believes that, "This whole category is a nonstarter."

I tend to acquiesce in with Rafe on a lot of his points. I think tablets and tweener devices--like Ultra Quick PCs (UMPCs)--that are too big to put in your pocket, cumbersome to operate, and overpriced, are doubtful and have no place in the marketplace.

The reason why Netbooks have been successful is that they're low-cost, and their form factor makes sense, especially for those looking to take a elementary, lightweight computer out with them on the road--or just out to the patio. It's a pretty easy equation and you'd think that Apple would just follow the Netbook drift and come out with something that didn't break the mold but was sexier, a wee zippier, and cost an extra $100-$200 in so-called Apple tax. What I'm talking about is a 10-inch $600-$700 Apple Netbook with a keyboard.
