…or what is all the fuss about? If there’s one controversial topic in the community its speaker arrangements with regards to covering their expenses for conferences. In the last few years several people have been pretty vocal in expressing their opinion on the issue. Just to put this into context, I’m not pointing the finger read more
Just half an hour before I need to head out to the airport and what do I see? My MacBook Pro power adaptor is at it again — what the heck is wrong with these things? Last time it burned through at the magsafe connector, this time its happening at the base. First stop in read more

I’m not a difficult person but is it too much to expect support to do its job? For a few months I’ve been struggling with my old Acer Travelmate notebook (overheating and randomly shutting down when not plugged in).
… I certainly believe so, if I didn’t see it posted on John Nack’s blog I honestly wouldn’t have believed this was for real.
