I'm getting kernel panics galore on my 1st edition MacBook for some reason, it just started all of a sudden. I have OS X.5.2 and it is the 1st edition MacBook which have a 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo CPU with a Samsung HM250JI Drive. Anyone have any idea of what could be going on here?
Got a tip for us?

Do you have all the updates including firmware updates?
(and I'll give you the same advise I give everyone else: reset the PRAM and repair disk permissions)
Yup I got all the firmware updates, but I'm set on failing hardware, because the guy at my school's IT department has fixed my computer so many times he's suggesting I get a new one. This MacBook has been with me for nearly 2 years, but I had expected 3 years out of it, which is the average life-expectancy of a computer, but maybe I'm wrong. But on the failing hardware note again that's probably it because my little sister was carrying it and she had accidentally dropped it on the hardwood floors in our house (yikes), so we'll see.
T-Pains Thr33 Rings Carries a Painful Tone
There are few people in todays rap game that are as easy to hate on as T-Pain. He runs around with overly extravagant clothes, refuses to let go of his vocoder and Auto-Tune, and even worse, he sings the hook to everybodys songs. So its no surprise that he sounds like a featured artist on his own album.
Youd be hard-pressed to find a song on the album that has T-Pain holding a track on his own. One of the few songs where he does so is the annoying Ringleader where he, along with a number of unnecessary skits, attempts to sell the circus concept of the album.
To T-Pains credit, he knows his own limitations and loads it with many of the artists he did favors for with his knack for hooks. Unfortunately, he didnt get the benefit of having stellar verses from his supporting cast. Mix the been there done that lyrics from his featured artists with his own lackluster verses and you get a typical glam-rap album.
What attempts to give the album something to set itself apart from the rest is its circus theme. Unfortunately, the concept is loose and only runs through the opening song and the brief skits.
This, however, isnt necessarily a bad thing. Although a tight and flowing concept can set an album apart from the rest á la And I Love Her, by the South Carolina rapper, Danny!, the circus theme seems like T-Pain decided to try something new after watching one too many Panic! at the Disco music videos.
There are some strong tracks on the album, but they are always brought to respectability by his guests. Freeze is a bouncy dance track saved by Chris Brown that could easily make its way in some of UC Irvines dance crews sets in the future.
Reality Show is as soulful as T-Pain will ever get, but thats only because he was in the same studio as Musiq Soulchild. The albums first single, Cant Believe It, is another T-Pain and Lil Wayne collaboration where both of them kill the vocoder to death, but somehow manage to make a solid song.
Yet, these high points dont do enough to hide the slew of low points on the album. Although he does a good job of hiding his limits, T-Pains weaknesses are exposed with a full album.
With lines such as, I can be her K-Fed / She can be my Britney and I dont need your sex / Ill masturbate, T-Pains lyrics are downright bad, to put it mildly, while he gives his good choruses away to other artists, diminishing his importance on the record.
Heres hoping Kanye fares better on his upcoming all-vocoder album, 808s and Heartbreak. Itd be hard for him to do much worse than T-Pain.
