But the coolest thing about the MacBook Pro? Backlit keys.This is a really fantastic feature. I coveted the last one I saw. Post in dim light! Accurately!

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
The keys do feel funny to type though! I'm so used to having my laptop keys squished together on both my Dell and my Powerbook laptops that when I went to the Apple store to try out a MacBook I couldn't type at all. It was very strange.

The IBM Thinkpad I use through work has a teeny LED right above the screen that sheds a very gentle light on the keyboard. It's called a ThinkLight!

Doesn't that rule? I love the ThinkLight.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Bloglines vs. Google Reader: [link]

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
The other Bloglines behavior that's driven me nuts for months is a 200 item unread limit per feed. Once a feed reaches 200 unread items in it, Bloglines stops adding new ones to the feed listing. So if you haven't looked at a particularly prolific feed for awhile? The "newest" one you see when you do finally view it can be months old! I never understood that.
Ohhhhhhh. That would be why my Vids folder hasn't been updated since I got back from Paris. I should probably clean it out at some point. Or switch to Google Reader.

There's a rumor going around that Google is buying YouTube.

Bloglines vs. Google Reader
I had stuck with Bloglines because I didn't like Google Reader, but the upgrades may convince me to switch. Most importantly, Bloglines is blocked here at work, while I can still get at the Google. Winner: the Google!

Why? Time-waster? Or do people use it to read naughty blogs?

Probably timewaster. It seems like anything with "blog" in the name is blocked. Seriously. For example, I can get to wfmu.org, but not blog.wfmu.org.
