I need to find where 'kCGDirectMainDisplay' is defined. It turns out it's in 'CGDirectDisplay.h', which is a header belonging to the CoreGraphics framework. So I t... 4 Mar 2010 10:05

Drobos again: noise?
Does anyone here own a Drobo v2, and if so would you mind telling me about its noise characteristtics? Specifically: 1. Ambient noise - this thing does have a big fan after all. 2. If not in use/not being accessed, will it spin down totally. 3. When being read from, is it reasonably quiet (obviously depends a... 2 Mar 2010 12:24
