February 09, 2010 – Apple Store is Down for Updates.

Update: Apple introduces Aperture 3

It’s 4:00 AM and I’m still awake, don’t know why.

Anyway, Apple Store is down for updates. I bet they’re going to add the fabled 16-core MacBook Pro today…errr…that doesn’t really exist. I’m really hoping a Quad-Core MacBook Pro.

Based on the circulating rumors, Core i5 and Core i7 MacBook Pro is coming really soon.

Now, if only I could get that one company the salary they owe me, I could immediately buy the 16-core MacBook Pro.

David Ellefson Returns To Megadeth Line-Up.

It’s a surprise and somewhat predictable. David Ellefson rejoins Dave Mustaine and Megadeth per the announcement on Monday February 8th, 2010. Megadeth is set to embark on “Rust In Peace 20th Anniversary Tour” starting March 2010 and at this point in time are busy rehearsing every single song from the seminal record.

The return of Ellefson into Megadeth ranks means a departure for James LoMenzo who recorded “United Abominations” and “Endgame” in 2007 and 2009 respectively. So far there has been no explanation what really happened within Megadeth with regards to LoMenzo.

Adobe Responds to Flash Crash Bug.

As we have previously discovered, Flash 10.1 beta is not affected by the crash-inducing bug. Matthew Dempsky has been pressing this issue for quite a while. The news hits front page of Hacker News earlier this week and garnered more attentions.

Adobe has now officially responded to this bug. The fix will beincluded in Flash 10.1 that will be released sometimes in 2010. Considering the nature of this bug, Adobe should have included the fix sooner in the 10.0.x release.

I have been using ClickToFlash for a while to weed out those pesky Flash-based ads. In addition to that I have not been missing Flash on the iPhone and iPod touch at all. In a way I’m glad that the iPad won’t be supporting Flash plugin.

Seriously, I don’t really depend on Flash when surfing the web.

Note to Darren Carter, you need to dump the stupid Flash-based site of yours. Get a real webmaster!
