Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Google docs went and turned all possessives into Juliebird's instead of Juliebird's. Why and how can I stop it? Also, typing at the same time as someone else in the same document is so cool!

The status is NOT quo.
Google docs is so awesome for group work in class. The formatting is annoying, but I have them do all of the prep work there and then import it to a Word doc where they can polish and finalize it.

Can anyone recommend good affordable data recovery software for the Mac platform? It turns out what I thought was a problem with my old laptop was instead the death rattle of my Firelite external HD, and the standard Apple Disk Utility can't repair it or pull the files I want to salvage out of it.

I've used DiskWarrior [link] in similar situations with some success.

try double bagging it in ziplock bags (with as much air as possible out of the bags) and put it in the freezer for 1 hour. Take it out and see if disk utility can deal with it.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I have a similar problem, Matt.
I have two external HDD, same brand, with similar symptoms. When I get a chance, I'm going to take them out of their cases (Seagate over packaging) and try them directly in my computer or in another external adapter.
Argh.
