Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Jan 06, 2009 6:00pm PSTWell given that I've never actually replaced a laptop battery out of all the laptops
that I have owned I can't say I really see the new 17" MBP battery as an issue.
Someone get me one. I swear it will make Shacknews better.

So, is it a good idea to get a Playstation 3 just to act as a Blu-Ray movies? That's going to be the sole function of the machine. If not, what's the better option? Sorry, I'm sure this has been asked before, but with technology moving as fast as it does, I wanted a post-holiday opinion.

So I emailed the woman and told her that they were obviously fake cards and told her that I wanted my money back or a box of real cards. I went to get my money back from paypal, but I didn't know my paypal password since I have not used paypal in about a year. So I did the option of doing a payment with paypal with out signing in. So I went to dispute the charge, but since I didn't sign in at the time I didn't get the transaction number on my account and they can't find it even though I have a receipt. So I have a feeling that I am screwed. The woman had a 96% satisfaction rate on her ebay account so I looked at the negative feed backs, and there it was...people claiming to have been sent fake cards. =(

This came up last night talking to a friend, I've never seen Sopranos and he'd never seen The Wire so of course we both tried to convince the other that the one we had watched was the greatest. So, which is better?

All songs will be DRM-less by the end of the quarter. Is that retroactive? What about the songs I already bought, I can automagically download the new DRM-less version or do I "own" the DRM copy and would have to buy the identical DRM-less copy? :(
Anyone know?

I never saw any mention of this in the reviews. Seriously, if you're playing 2 player co-op the viewable area for each player is still about the size of a 4-player divide. It's really hard to see enemies, even on a large LCD HDTV.
