So, after the last issue, I took it back to the Apple Store. They replaced it again. Seems normal this time. Maybe a degree off or something, but I’m guessing within tolerance. Definitely close enough that I haven’t noticed while playing games. So looks like I’m all back in business again. Woo.

From SM via Facebook:

Indeed. I’m now at three in the last three days. I’m suspicious of the battery life being shorter on the new new one too. But it is probably livable and I’m not actually sure if it is a real effect or me just being paranoid now, so I’ll probably just let it go.

People who heard what Biden said were stunned. ‘This is starting to get dangerous for us,’ Biden castigated his interlocutors. ‘What you’re doing here undermines the security of our troops who are fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan […]

Speaking of SXSW, if you’re going, you’re going to love SitBy.us, an iPhone-optimized web app from Weightshift.

Apple’s new remote for MacBooks and Apple TV is nothing revolutionary, but its construction is impressive for a remote. Apple gave it the unibody treatment: besides the three button areas, the IR transmitter, and the battery door on the bottom, there are no glued seams or screws anywhere.

Ezra Klein: Like most bloggers, I'm not too fond of e-mails correcting my grammar. Really? I like getting emails about grammar and spelling.
