Well 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.

iTunes ditching DRM
Airline by the minute?
Missing pants lawsuit continues
The Fed says we are hosed :(

As for the the videogame news around these parts:

Valve talks about Left 4 Dead lighting
StarCraft 2 screenshots
Xbox 360 breaks 28 million
Midway heading to bankruptcy
Weekly PC game sales
Major Gears of War 2 patch incoming
Sony talks PS3 sales
Saints Row 2 Steam delay
Street Fighter 4 featuring Cammy
Turbine doing MMO with micro-transactions
6-year-old drives car because of GTA
2K Games sale
Dawn of War 2 PC specs and beta tease
EGM Magazine closing

Lastly, I sense something in the air... something is afoot! Or Maarten has gas again. :(

    After watching almost all of that guys' videos I have decided that I have missed out on a huge chunk of great music in jazz, funk, R&B, and even blues. I will remedy this.
