Early owners of the  so-called ‘late 2008 macbooks’ have already found out why it pays to wait a little while before ordering a ‘new’ Apple anything:

Some Late-2008 MacBook users have posted complaints about the hinges on their computers apparently not holding the display open properly, resulting in the display either falling open or closing on them.

Alway, always give them 6 months to iron out the kinks. Quality control on these things is an itterative process, with updates being made incrementally throughout the production cycle.

Wow.  iTunes 8 and Genius playlists are really, really, stunningly good. Brilliant.

One of my favorite apps for OS X is Agile Web Solutions’ 1Password. It’s a strong password generator and place to store passwords that integrates seamlessly with OS X and OS X web browsers. It’s so easy to use that my online work is more secure because it’s so easy to create strong passwords instead of just using one password for everything. The app sees like it’s updated almost daily….except for recently.

And today I found out why! They’ve been working on their iPhone OS 2.0 1Password application.

In the end, I found enough to cover the board by sticking to three themes: iPhone stuff (yes, “3G iPhone” gets a square), the next major release of Mac OS X, and the rumored .Mac changes.
