For sale: Macbook pro. 2 months old. Minor damage.
Why yes, that DOES appear to be discoloring due to some type of battery acid. Interesting.
Hole? What hole? Those are vents, for speed, dude!
Is this one of those new ‘peel and stick’ batteries?
No, it’s not really for sale, hahaha. After all, who would buy something that has been so badly trashed?
Le sigh.

Of course this makes sense, but there are going to be those who think that DRM-free means you can freely exchange these files between machines and users.
Obviously that’s not logical or true though. But, just so you can see for yourself that your information is stored in each file, check out this hint from TUAW.
1. Launch Terminal. You’ll need to be comfortable at the command line to perform this check.
2. Navigate to one of your iTunes plus downloads. If you have a US iTunes account, you can download the iTunes plus “Ooh La” single of the week.
3. Use the …

Introducing, Microsoft Surface.
Click for bigger image!
Just kidding, of course. Just like everything else they do with cool and potentially useful technology, they will falter and fail. Assimilate and destroy, that’s the Redmond way.
Anyone remember WebTV?
By keeping ‘Surface’ under wraps and trying to maintain control of the project, they have done nothing but given their competitors an idea of how close Microsoft are to catching up to them.
You can’t seriously think that 15 different companies aren’t already working on this concept, right? By dropping the curtain, MS …

MailBadger is a freeware plugin for mail.app that shows the number of messages in an account/category/mailbox.
I like this feature:
There are only four built-in shapes for badges right now (I’d like to add a couple more), but you can add your own too! Go crazy and add your friends’ faces to display the number of messages they’ve sent you.
But, there’s more! Check out this feature list:
Mail Badger is a plug-in for Apple’s Mail.app that enhances the application’s dock icon by allowing users to set up multiple “badges” that display message counts …

Microsoft has released a ‘beta’ version of their Office 2007 (PC) file conversion app, for Mac Office 2003 and X users.
Sadly though, it is hampered by being an incredibly poor gesture toward appeasing Mac office users. Some of the many things wrong with the release:
It only converts Word docX files – no Powerpoint or Excel formats are supported.
It ‘converts’ the docX file to RTF, meaning you lose nearly all formatting and embedded objects
It is a standalone app, meaning you have to run it on files, instead of using an ‘open/save’ dialog in your Office apps
It installs a small app …

An oldie but a goodie that I recalled today while changing my iChat message.
By doing the following, you can make iChat display much more than the default iTunes message (Title – Artist). Check this out:
Type (or paste) this into Terminal (applications/utilities), making sure it is all on one line:
defaults write com.apple.iChatAgent iTunesMessageFormat -string ‘Currently listening to: %Track, by %Artist, from the album %Album’
You can change the verbage to anything you want, as long as it is between ‘ and ‘.
Next, while still in Terminal, type:
killall iChatAgent
Relaunch iChat, and your new message should …
Ok, perhaps it’s a little selfish of me to do this from my bully pulpit, but I wanted to post about a great artist you guys should check out. I won’t do this often, I promise.
No, the titular subject is not an offer. It’s the name of a documentary starring Keifer Sutherland and a band on his record label. The band is Rocco DeLuca and the Burden, and they are simply amazing.
Rocco is the singer/ songwriter/ dobro playing lead of the band. His voice ranges from boy band pop mode to Chris Cornell power rage, all mixed together with some of the best harmonies and lyrics I’ve heard in, well, possibly ever.
Study: iPods can make pacemakers malfunction – CNN.com
Uh-ho…
iPods can cause cardiac implantable pacemakers to malfunction by interfering with the electromagnetic equipment monitoring the heart, according to a study presented by a 17-year-old high school student to a meeting of heart specialists on Thursday.
The study tested the effect of the portable music devices on 100 patients, whose mean age was 77, outfitted with pacemakers. Electrical interference was detected half of the time when the iPod was held just 2 inches from the patient’s chest for 5 to 10 seconds.
The study did not examine any portable music devices other …
