I hate TSA and laugh at their stupidity

Seriously, TSA is just wasting the government’s (hence our tax) money and does not provide much in return. They are known to harrass regular traverlers. I was once a victim while traveling on work. I wrote an essay about it but am not sure if I should post it…

FUCK TSA!

Another reason not to get the Macbook Air...

Apparently, the Macbook Air is known to disappear into thin air... LOL

Time Capsule

Apple announces the Time Capsule today at Macworld 2008.

I returned an Airport Extreme 2 months ago because it kept dropping my Macbook after waking from sleep w/o power plugged in. It was a very frustrating experience, so I went back to the DI-524, although it also drops my Macbook whenever I turned on my Wii. But I only have to turn Airport off and on and it works again. The Airport Extreme worked for 30 seconds, then I turned it off/on, worked for another 30 seconds, turned off/on,... The firmware is a piece of junk.

Now if Time Capsule does not have the same problem with Airport Extreme, I will probably get one to replace my crappy NAT and get a 500GB HD for Time Machine.

Airport Extreme $180 500GB HD ~$100

So Time Capsule is priced much more reasonable than the Macbook Air, but only if it actually works and doesn’t drop connections.

Apple announces Macbook Air today at Macworld 2008.

At first, the coolness factor had me regretting not waiting to delay my Macbook purchase, but after learning that $1799 only has the 4200rpm 80GB HD and you have to shell out $3098 for a 64GB SSD. I am relieved :)

However, seeing it come out of an envelope was extremely cool. I do dislike the black keys a bit tho. I thought making the whole thing aluminum would be more cool. Biege => black => white => aluminum => black. Huh?
