The article only mentions serial numbers beginning with W8610 or W8611. My MacBook has a serial number beginning with W8609. I wonder if that means I have a Rev B mobo? I experience all of the problems mentioned in the article, except for the LCD flickering. I didn't actually realize that these were actual problems. I just always thought of them as oddities. I'll probably wait a few years to complain to hopefully get a shiny new replacement that's better than what I started with.
I think fellow used fedex.com to order a whole lot of boxes with no intention of using them to actually ship stuff in. It's a bit like someone taking an enormous number of ketchup packets from a Burger King in order to have ketchup in his house, rather than using them on the fries he didn't buy there. So I can see why FedEx would take umbrage at his using the boxes they're paying for to make furniture, and then turning around and showing everyone in the world how what a bunch of suckers FedEx is for giving boxes away for free.
Quite frankly, I think that hoarding ketchup packets from Burger King is a justified thing to do. When the register at BK breaks down, you don't want to imagine what it's like in the store while the cashier tries to place the orders. One time, the cashier was stupid enough to demand $5 from me when my total was $18 (including tax). The thing is, I gave him a $20 bill. Until these corporations make my buying experience better, I'll continue hoarding ketchup packets. Plus, that ketchup packet mountain in my fridge is starting to look like a real mountain. More of a reason to continue!
A "podcast" is a downloadable audio file of some whiny kid who thinks he's an authority on something and has a delusional idea that people care what he has to say--in audio form.
So its like Slashdot, but in stereo?
Actually, many of them are mono. It's about 50/50 for the ratio of stereo/mono podcasts. Of course that's just a rough estimate, but you get my point.

Sounds like that's the only thing that would get a majority of /.'ers into the Mile High Club.

In Soviet Russia, doomsday clock advances you! (Sorry, but I just had to say that.)
