    Apple: Fix the WWAN status in the menu bar option

    Monday, June 7th, 2010

    …in OS X 10.6, Preferences, Network…

    Apple Refurbished MacBook Air 1.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

    Things I could never go back from:

    • Back-lit Keyboard
    • Auto-sensing Display Brightness
    • Multi-touch Trackpad

    Delicious Library 2

Or maybe you have something lying around you don’t use, like an out-of-print book, that’s worth serious bucks and you don’t know it? Because with Delicious Library 2 you always know the current value of your things, and can put your used items up for sale with three clicks. Or maybe you just want to publish your library to the web and share it with your friends…”
