Macbook Predictable Shutdown

·108 words

After the random shutdown episodes of the past my Macbook now has entered the more sophisticated era of nonrandom shutdowns.

New sleeve

Normal Mac laptops will go to sleep when their battery is nearly empty. Mine however simply shuts down. This happens usually when the indicator says it still has 10-15 minutes of battery life left.

A similar problem has been reported with Macbook Pros but not with Macbooks yet.

Quite annoying to lose your work if you forget (or are unable to) plug in. LJS didn’t have a clue last time I was there. I think I’ll pay them a repeat visit and insist they do something about it.

SoundManager 2 for JavaScript is a neat little library to fill in one of the blank areas of JavaScript/DOM development: decent sound output. It is very cool that it’s there, but it’s a shame that it has to use Flash to do the playback because browser sound playback is so dismal.

I had predicted it to be an Asian country like Singapore or something to first establish an embassy in Second Life. It seems that Sweden got there first (the CNN piece linked is quite ok).
