iBook Design Flaw: The battery pops out a little too easy. Biggest problem with that? About 20% of the time, if the battery pops out, it throws the system into a state of panic. Symptoms include (1) a very long wait on the “Starting Login Window” phase of the boot cycle, (2) a very long […]
From the “Truth Really Is Stranger Than Fiction” Dept.: A Chicago-area woman is being sued for emotional distress consequent to sperm theft. Though the court has pretty much already agreed that “it was a gift — an absolute and irrevocable transfer of title to property from a donor to a donee […with…] no agreement that […]
