Bluetooth Mouse
Yesterday (12/09/07) I experienced rapid shutdown on my White 1.83GHz 11 times in the space of 5 minutes. I can only imagine that my bluetooth mouse kept trying to reconnect as it was rebooting each time. My google searches have uncovered bluetooth as a factor in these shutdowns. It began to click off within seconds of powering up. When I finally got the desktop up I switched BT off and it seems to be a lot happier. So, when a bluetooth device is idle and loses its connection one can experience problems trying to bring it back. I don’t quite know whether this is “kernel panic” (which sounds like a phobia of fast-food chicken) since there is no log produced by the driver failure. Nevertheless, panic is what I did which is why I’m here. As an aside I think this overheating issue is a big failure on Apple’s part. Here is a computer company that has always been progressive, intellectual and seemingly able to transcend the grubbiness associated with IT. They need to realize that their success is due to unparalleled customer loyalty. If they blow that they’ll lose their real product.
