Closing the MacBook and opening it again doesn't make the screen come on?
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Hey. New board.
Huh! That puts my display to sleep, but all I need to do to wake it up is press any key. A cool keyboard shortcut though!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Microsoft Surface Reportedly Wi-Fi-Only, Will Start at $599
Microsoft’s Surface tablet will launch as a Wi-Fi-only device, according to a report from Bloomberg. And though Microsoft has remained ambiguous about its tablet’s pricing, saying it will be “comparable” to tablets with similar specs, a report from The Next Web indicates the Windows RT model will start at $599, and the Windows 8 Pro model will start at $999.
At the Surface’s unveiling Monday, Microsoft execs pointed out that the tablet comes with 2×2 MIMO antennas, giving the device a very strong Wi-Fi connection. But there was no mention of 3G or 4G connection capabilities.

So I finally installed OS X Lion on my MacBook Pro.
For those who are using Lion and have not changed the up/down trackpad scrolling direction back to the way it was in pre-Lion days, how long did it take you to get used to the change?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
For me, only a couple of days, but then I was already used to scrolling that way on my iPhone.

This will be a test of brain plasticity. I hope my old noggin can adapt in a few days too.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Yeah, just a few days. Now I am confused momentarily when I use other people's machines.

I upgraded to Lion just so I could use this:
Satellite Eyes is a simple Mac app that automatically changes your desktop wallpaper to the satellite view of where you are, right now.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
yeah, I had to change the scrolling. I couldn't take Lion's default.
