Best Way to Clone/Restore your OS after swapping in a new hard drive
details
Ok so I have a the 13inch Macbook Pro. I have already bumped up the ram from 2GB to 4GB. The model I have came with 160GB HDD, so I think of getting a bigger one. My question is, can I take the entire contents of my current hard drive (files, settings, boot camp) and restore it onto the new hard drive. If so how? Can this be done via Time Machine, or must some other method be used. Any tips, tricks, and help in this matter would be appreciated! :o)

sleeping macbook light is acting funny, pulse with a blink....
details
for the other mac owners you're familiar with the slow pulsing light that a sleeping mac has, it gradually lights up, then dims.....slowly and smoothly. Well today I noticed that when my macbook is sleeping it goes from dim to bright and when it's at its brightest it -blinks- off for a fraction of a second and then back to where it was bright and slowly cycles back down and up -blink- dim down and so on. Not sure when it started or what it means. does anyone else have this same behavior...
