  1. MadsonLine Power Adapters on Washington Post Covers iPod Battery Ruckus · · Score: 1
    I got one for my Pismo PB with all the fixin's including DC cable for the car, adapter for airplane, etc.

    The AC adapter itself failed within 6 months. Similiar to the apple translucent one that failed before it. (the DC adapter still kicks ass, tho)

    I have since gone thru 5 apple power adapters for my Pismo in 3 years, all covered by applecare. (not including the MadsonLine one.)

    A few months ago, the power adapter failed yet again, one week before my applecare was to run out. I called applecare and asked for a new one and a spare. I got them both free the next day in the mail.

    I still have all the bad ones, in hopes I can refurbish them once these two burn out on me...

  2. bonus on Steve Jobs and the State of Legal Music Downloads · · Score: 1
    would you like commercials with that?
    sorry, no choice... commercials it'll be then.

    and you can't just show up a bit late to miss them either:
    you'll lose out on prime seating!

    are there no commercial free outlets anymore?

  3. Classic apps not associated on Apple Pulls 10.2.8 Update · · Score: 1
    Running a 12"PB.
    When launching a file previously associated with a classic application, it doesn't run: doesn't even boot classic. When I launched classic from the System Preferences, it required an update, but still didn't recognize my file association.
    I had to manually associate the file type with the classic app in the end.
    Otherwise, no problems so far...

    Still prefer these sorts of problems over the hell of updates and hotfixes for my Windows servers.
