Since i have had this i7 MBP i have been getting corrupted screen graphics when on the IGP, i put this down to bad hardware but never took it back just ran the NVidia chip. then i started to get unexpected flash player crashes for a few weeks and then suddenly the whole MBP started to freeze and get the spinning beachball of death.
Finally it was running hot and battery was sucking.
I then came across a app that kills flash adds and plugins and i thought that was useful as i was sick of choppy webpages and annoying adverts on IGN.com When i used it i noticed that the mbp ran so much better after i killed off the flash plugin. This got me thinking.
I finally bit the bullet and removed EVERY adobe program from my MBP.
Not only did my battery power get better but Safari stopped lagging and the webpages become smooth.
BUT it fixed the screen corruption i thought was a hardware issue!
Steve jobs isnt right about everything, if fact he hasnt got a clue on most things. BUT DAMN HE WAS RIGHT ABOUT FLASH!
Adobe - I cant wait till your flash player is dead and buried in the ashes of the internet.
I will never forgive you for subjecting me to those horrible adverts and i certainly wont give you another chance to RUIN my MBP.
Ps. Acrobat sux too.
If anyone else has been noticing the above symptoms then i would suggest this is the first thing you do!
REMOVE FLASH
