I gave up my on 2.66ghz 15.4″ Summer 2009 MacBook Pro, and am sending it back for a refund. How I’m getting a refund is a little strange. My Mac is a custom built item, because I opted for a 500gb hard drive. Normally you can’t return a custom built-to-order product for a refund, but [...]

Some people use an app like TweetDeck to show the results of searches and having a “what’s going on this weekend” very sporadic post is, I think, useful – more useful than the spam that some of the other event type sites [...]
