I've got a MacBook Pro 15' from late 2011. Now, I noticed that when I take my macbook to move it, I can push in the bottom plate to the point where I notice it is touching internal components. When the macbook is in front of me (normal working position), the place where I can push it in is on the right side. Is this normal or should I bring it in?

MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.4)
i5 15" mbp. Underneath my computer, theres the large plate where the battery is located under. When i push the plate slighty around the key y (just under) it says this click sound.. When I turn the computer quickly, or place it on table real fast, it says another click sound, from the right buttom corner..
I've just got a 13" MBP and I've noticed that around the middle of the bottom plate can be pressed in slightly. I can notice it most when I pick the laptop up by putting my hands underneath it and it bends inwards slightly. Does anyone else notice this on their MBPs?
I am wondering if anyone knows what Apple charges to have the bottom plate of the MacBook Pro replaced. When I was at a store, an employee told me that it "might cost, like, uh, forty bucks," in a way that made me think he was just pulling that price out of his you-know-what. After searching eBay for that part and finding no auctions for less than $100, I assumed that Apple would charge something more like that.
It's really irritating that in order to replace two of my footpads, I must replace the whole bottom plate of the body. Apple is really trying to get people to buy the service plan, and then a new laptop when that runs out. Great for the environment. The whole unrepairable Retina Display MacBook debacle is just more proof of that.
The sleeve I keep my laptop in got wet tonight and now the bottom of my macbook is a weird grey/green/yellow colour. The sleeve is by logiix. I can't find the product online but the inside of the sleeve is micro-fibre-ish kind of material... I took some pictures but the quality is really bad, i took it from my cellphone.... I'm wondering if there's anyway to clean it up or do i have to live with it forever... Why does this happen? Might Apple cover it?
I bought my macbook in June of 2010. My bottom plate is heavily scratched in the middle. I touched it and found out that it was bulging out a bit. Is it possible to get my bottom plate replaced in anyway?
Tools for MBP memory upgrades and uni-body backplate removal... Is it a #00 Phillips OR do I need more to remove the backplate of a mid-2009 MBP Uni-Body...??

I have been assigned the task of installing new memory modules into the iMacs at work. When I got to my supervisor's iMac, I discovered someone had been in to service the memory compartment at least once before. Only this person must have used a screwdriver that was too big to begin with and then cranked the central screw on the cover plate and stripped the head of the screw in the process. So now I cannot get this screw loosened. I obviously don't want to bend or damage anything. What would be a viable solution besides taking it in to a service tech?
Is it normal that I have to push the dvd nearly all the way in (like a 1/2 a centimenter left of the disc before it grabs?) It spits it out just fine but seems to not want to grab as early as I would expect. This normal?
Does Apple Mail have ability to paste boiler plate text? In MS Office Windows I used to setup many boiler plate texts that I would access through keyboard shortcuts, such as Control H for "Please don't hesitate to contact me." Can Mail do a similar thing?
So I got an 07' MBP and I need to overheat, my warranty is up in a month and the store tried screwing me out of a replacement. So I need to make it look legit. So, what kinds of applications will push my mac to overheating?
How do I push my pages documents from my macbook pro to my phone and iPad?, How do I push my pages documents from my macbook pro to my phone and iPad? Also, how do I limit the amount of messages that are downloaded to my mail icon on my mac? Right now I have 26,000 messages showing and its slowing down my computer..
Do I need to do anything other than shove the Cd all the way in? I put the CD in like 75% of the way and nothing happening. I am afraid to push it all the way in just in case it gets stuck. Does the MBP not suck it in you know?
I assumed that push would allow my contacts to be updated anywhere to my phone and all my systems. However, whenever I activate push for contacts on my iPhone it simply clears all of the contacts in my address book which have been put there from iTunes. I have to switch it off and then re-sync with iTunes to get them back.
This seems retarded, but as far as I can tell, none of the mail apps I've looked at support push email on the desktop. Is there anything equivalent to "push" for desktop users? I have mail.app, Outlook 2011, etc. And none seem to support push. What gives? I mean, sure, I can check every minute, but it's just not the same.
I am new to mac. When I insert a cd/dvd into the slot loading drive, I have to push the cd in rather far before it actually catches it and pulls it in. Is this normal or is it supposed to only be pushed in about half way. When it ejects it seems that it pushes the disc out much further. Is there something you must do before inserting a cd, or do you just push it in?
Tight VNC has been nicest client with windows, good zooming etc. But how to use keyboard shortcuts with option-button? Alt-button in windows client interprets itself as command-key to Mac and AltGr in win is Alt for Mac. For example to reset Qmaster Preferences' services, you'll have to hover mouse on "Start Sharing" button and push Option to change the button to "Reset Services". (I know that qmaster can be reset from command line, but there's lots of other uses for option-key also...) Is there any way to do this? Also it would be nice to have international keyboards supported in VNC. Is this about server or client?
I would like to have my emails from my university account pushed to my @me.com / iCloud account. basically, I've been doing that for years with another account but I have to forgotten how to set up a new account. I want to have all emails forwarded from that Office Outlook account.

My push notification for Facebook & Twitterwere working absolutely fine for sometime now, till recentled my Face Book & Twitter passwords. I deleted the account from System Preferences -> Internet Accounts & added it back again, but that hasn't worked either.
At any rate, does anyone know how many FLOPS the new Nehalem-based servers push? I'm in the process of designing a high-end server cluster and I'd very much like to be able to use Xserves; however, I cannot seem to find any good performance data (I'm looking for numbers here).
So I sprung for the quad core i5 a few weeks ago, and I want to know what I can do to really notice my investment. Too often I find myself just searching the web and checking my email which makes me feel like I would have been fine with the i3 for $300 less.
I am setting up a Lion Server which allows users to enroll their ipad, and want to send out push notification.
After I got a SSL cert, enroll the ipad.However, I could not see any way to push my notification to application in my ipad. So here is my question:
1. Does the APNs set up in the Lion Server Connecting to the gateway.apple.com:2195 or directly connect to the ipad? Because my target environment will be a private network.
2. How can I configure Lion Server so that it could send out push notification? ( either from apple or direcly push )
