Powerful again

A few weeks ago my MacBook Pro battery decided it is too old (1 year !) and needs to retire. After many unexpected drops for power from 40% to 0% in a second I decided it will not heal itself magically.

Colleague of mine suggested I should not buy an Apple replacement (which I should got for free btw. but I was one (1 !) day late in calling their helpline after Galway 3G store send me away) - and I was happy to exercise this idea. I simply love MacOSX - but certain ideas about the way Apple treats their customers is unbearable.

After some googling I’ve stumbled on http://fastmac.com/ and today the battery has arrived. Looks very much like my previous one - but I have already tested that it lasts much longer than the Apple original ever did. Well done guys. When I am fed up with my processor power - I will call ya again :)

Getting my teeth into HDR

HDR is a cool technique - even though some of the photos look artificial/artistic - usually it is worth trying.
