Earlier we reported that Apple has disabled the start-up chime in the new MacBook Pros.
Well, after some digging, we found this article on how to re-enable the chime.
Here's how:
Apple has been on a killing spree lately. Â First with the [ESC] key along with the [FN] key.
Now it seems that the company has killed (more like MURDERED) the ever familiar start-up chime that all Macs have had since they first came out. Â The chime is GONEÂ in the brand new MacBook Pro - and we assume it will be that way for any new Macs from here on out.
The start up chime has been a staple in the Apple world for years, and has helped many Troubleshooters (like me) know that the computer was going to boot-up normally.  That what set Apple apart from its PC counterparts - you KNEW if your Mac was going to be ok.
Oh, Apple, what have you done?
Personally, I hope all Apple users take a stand and write Apple to get the ever-familiar boot-up chime back.

For those of us who use Twitter on a daily basis, and have been reading reports about the social network's pending doom, some good news has come in.
After all buying interest in the company dried up, Twitter reported earnings that beat estimates and reinforced the faith of its longtime shareholders.
"The world needs Twitter," said Bijan Sabet, co-founder and general partner at Spark Capital. The Boston-based venture capitalist was an early Twitter investor, and held a board seat until 2011. He's also a personal shareholder.
Over the past two months companies like Salesforce, Microsoft, Disneyand Google have been mentioned as potential buyers of Twitter.
"I'd like to see Twitter remain independent and build something durable because they have the brand, the user base and the impact on the world to do it," said Sabet. He has a long-term view on the stock, unfazed by news about layoffs and strategic shifts.
Twitter is a 10-year old company going through a critical existential crisis.
"They made a mistake by trying to compete with Facebook," said Henry Blodget, Business Insider CEO. Implying the management failed to understand their own unique product proposition.
"I saw the Cubs win and Twitter went crazy. I saw the debates and Twitter went crazy," said Sabet, echoing the sentiment.
But on Thursday, after its third-quarter earnings release, CEO Jack Dorsey finally said it.
"We're focused on building the most useful, open and comprehensive news network on the planet, our product is already revolutionary and we're working on improving it every single day. We're making hundreds of small changes as quickly as we can that will continue to compound for more usage."
