ExtraBITS for 6 December 2010

  We have just a few must-see links this week, including a music video
  (really!) that provides fabulous commentary on disassembling a
  laptop, news of the new MacTech Boot Camp conference for consultants
  and support professionals, and a link to an article by Glenn
  Fleishman about the future of Mac networking.


**Laptop Disassembly Music Video** -- No, really, it is a music video
  by Jayme Gutierrez about how hard it is to take his laptop apart to
  clean the fan. It’s remarkably well done, with tons of music video
  tropes, a catchy song, and a nod to Apple at the end (not that Mac
  laptops are necessarily all that easy to take apart either!). And
  you have to love the disclaimer: “This is not a definitive
  maintenance video.”

**MacTech Boot Camp Offers Support Training** -- Building on the
  success of November’s MacTech Conference, which was aimed at IT
  professionals and Mac developers, MacTech has announced another
  conference, with a twist. Called MacTech Boot Camp, it’s a
  single-track, hotel-based seminar designed specifically to help Mac
  consultants and other support professionals. A single-day event, it
  will be held in San Francisco on 26 January 2011, the day before the
  Macworld Expo show floor opens, making it easy to combine travel
  costs. MacTech Boot Camp costs $295 through 15 December 2010, or
  $495 afterward.

**Future of Mac Networking** -- Glenn Fleishman lays out the future of
  Mac networking standards in Macworld, including USB 3.0 and upcoming
  802.11ac and 802.11ad wireless flavors, and the seemingly inevitable
  removal of FireWire.
