First I’ve finished installing new hard drive on my MacBook Pro Core Duo, 20 minutes after I stareted it. Along the way I also managed to “fix” my keyboard. For a few days I’ve been having lots of typoes including the letter “t.” Apparently a drop of liquid caused the “g, r, and y” key to trigger the “t” key. I’m glad it is fixed now.

- Microsoft confirms Nvidia ‘Tegra’ chip for Zune HD (CNET) | Pretty powerful chip from NVIDIA. Note to CNET: It is “Hybrid Digital” Radio, not “High-Definition” Radio.
- Smart fish discovered in Europe (worldarea.info) | I for one welcome our fish overlord.
- New Kids on the Block blame lousy ticket sales on recession (WalletPop) | Are you sure that recession is to blame? New Kids on The Block is now a novelty-cash-grabbing-reunion-act. It is a simple supply-and-demand situation.
Time to slack again.
