I went through two batteries on my Macbook before I something more front and centre broke and I ended up replacing it. I like the machines, but I'm suspicious of the power system from wall all the way inside.
aka anecdata says battery...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Mine was a refurb bought in mid-2008, so it is maybe a 2007 model? But I got the new battery for xmas 2011, I think.

Ok, I have that bookmarked. I don't think I will try anything right now, since I'm heading to bed. But I will give it a try. Thanks Tom.

If you have an Apple store nearby take the battery in, especially if it is only a year old. When I have had bad batteries, or failing batteries Apple has almost always replaced them for free at the Genuis Bar.

anyone else having trouble with their AppleTV? I did the update the other day. I can do Netflix, no problem. But it will not access the iTunes Store. Tried unplugging trick. Didn't work. Tried logging out of iTunes Store in pref's. Now, can not log back in. Just wondering if I'm the only one, or is there a problem.

I haven't had any trouble. Had to download the update twice, but no problems since then.

OK, so I unplugged it for 20ish minutes, rather than 2 or 3. And now, it's working again.

Coding and Sleeping
I got my new NAS yesterday. It appears to be about ten times faster than the current dying (though probably fixable) NAS. But I can't believe how much shit this thing can do. I assume it's just basically a linux computer, but they've put nice UI on a ton of features.
