For those who have never been to or beheld the spectacle of an Apple Store opening, you really should watch this video to get an idea of the experience at these gala events. Lines that span a quarter mile…people camping out at midnight to be first in line…the feeling of euphoria as your turn in the queue arrives to finally enter the store. Amazing.

Be on the look out for several celebs shopping amongst the crowd, like James Woods and Kevin Bacon, to name a few.

Handy Battery Tool for MacBook Users

No Comments »Wednesday, Mar 14, 2007, 9:47 am

MacBook users…are you looking for a better solution that tells you everything you ever wanted to know about your battery, including its original capacity when it left the factory? Look no further. CoconutBattery is your answer.

What is coconutBattery, you ask? I’ll let its developers explain…

coconutBattery isn’t just a tool which shows you only the current charge of your battery - it also shows you the current maximum capacity of it in relation to the original capacity your battery had as it left the factory.
You also get information about the battery-loadcycles (how often did you fully load your battery), the current charger (coconutBattery even warns you if you plugged in a wrong charger for your Notebook) and last but not least information about the age of your Mac.

Sounds great. And it’s free! Though I do highly recommend generously donating money to the folks behind this software, if only a few bucks.

An Australian MacBook owner got an unwelcome surprise – his beloved ivory white portable suddenly began emitting a hissing sound, and moments later spontaneously combusted. Leaving his MacBook char-broiled and blackened.
