Does anyone know if AppleCare will replace a bulging (but otherwise normal) removable battery in my MacBook Pro?
Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

So, my iPod was playing in its docking station and suddenly stopped. A surge maybe? I'm not sure, but I checked the plugs and the docking station seems to be working now. The iPod won't totally light up, but I can still see the screen somewhat and it is showing as playing, but I can't pause it or turn it off. Basically, it seems frozen halfway through the song. Ideas?
ETA: And iTunes is not recognizing that it's connected to the computer.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
There is a way to force an iPod to shut down. The method depends on the iPod model and version - googling should provide the answer.

And it did! I was worried it was more than just frozen, but I guess not.

Yeah, they lock up from time to time. Except for my iPod touch, which locked up all the time, before the display died.

Bah. Tivo is willing to replace my rebooting machine, but they are not paying for shipping, they are not waiving the restocking fee, and the supervisor I spoke to on the phone was a total dick about it.
I just hope we get the new one before the Oscars on Sunday.

I have an eepc, and for some reason some of the function keys do not work (as well as the backspace key). Somehow I have turned the brightness all the way down, but I cannot turn it back up. The f6 key does not work.
Reading around, I think I can fix the brightness in the BIOS, ut I can't figure out how to get there, especially since my f2 key also seems not to be working. Anthing that you can suggest?

Hey. New board.
Anybody want to suggest a good free font for address labels on Save the Date cards? I don't really want to stoop as low as Lucida Calligraphy.

Hey. New board.
I ended up going with a variant of the font on our return address labels, so never mind.
