MacNN reports that Apple actually is fixing the rampant discoloration issues present on white MacBook laptops. My laptop suffers from this issue, even after I had put an invisible shield on the palm rest. The discoloring stems from a manufacturing defect in the plastic. Apple will replace the top case, presumably free of charge. Hopefully, I will just be able to take it into an Apple store and have the [click to continue…]

Twenty short years ago on this day I was born a very curious child in Houston. Soon after I was taking apart every electronic gadget I could get my hands on.. even the old 386 and Macintosh Centris 650, which was a great computer by the way. As some of my Greek readers have picked up on, yesterday was my name day. The best birthday present was the internship, which gets better everyday. Today I [click to continue…]

Working at Yahoo! is the ultimate experience. The amazing campus, engaging activities and great people definitely made an impression on me during the past two days. Everyone I’ve come across at Yahoo! is eager to meet new people and get to know them; yes, even the coders are sociable! Unlike other places where my friends intern, Yahoo! interns don’t make coffee and send out letters. For one, every building (there are 7 on the Sunnyvale campus) has a Starbucks-type caffeine vendor and the drinks are free! Yahoo! interns are part of a project that makes an impact [click to continue…]

Sony will be releasing a new version of their ultra-portable Vaio U series laptop next week. In place of the standard 30GB hard drive, it will feature 16GB of solid-state storage. There had been rumors in weeks past that Apple had been making deals with flash memory manufacturers for a possible 12 inch flash-based laptop. It seems like Sony has beaten Apple to the punch. There are many reasons for the move to a flash-based system. Aside from high [click to continue…]

AJ over at Devlounge has reviewed the new version of digg that launched earlier on Monday. However, he forgot to mention what I deem the coolest feature – the ability to undigg stories. Many times I will read a headline and automatically digg it out of excitement before reading it. Then I’ll read it and realize that the story didn’t go past my digg-worthiness threshold.

As reported by ArsTechnica, there has been a second case of a melting MagSafe connector. Apple’s MacBook and MacBook Pro models both use a new charging interface called MagSafe. Consisting of 5 magnetically attached pins (only 4 provide power), MagSafe safely disconnects from the MacBook if the cord is tugged or tripped on. However, one MacBook Pro user reported that his cable started melting while he was using it. The moral of the [click to continue…]
