Man arrested for TATOOING 1 YEAR OLD GIRL

I believe society is generally in decline, so hearing about the sick things people do typically doesn't surprise me, but this is still shocking:

Apparently, this piece-of-crap tattooed a 1 year old child:

PowerSupport - PRODUCT REVIEWS

PowerSupport USA (http://www.powersupportusa.com) makes two very interesting products for MacBooks.

First is the TrackPad Film for MacBook, which solves a common problem.  I've had my MacBook for over two years, and over that time, the trackpad surface has become unevenly glossy.  This makes using it inconsistent and even a little frustrating.  This simple solution is essentially a little sticker that you lay over the track pad, and like magic, it feels like new again.  Other than a little difficulty getting it lined up and bubble-free, I couldn't be happier.

The second item is the Anti-Glare Film for MacBook.  It is a matte-finish overlay for the MacBook screen.  Again, apart from the typical difficulties in lining it up and getting all bubbles out, it's a real winner.  No glossy screen anymore for me!

Between these two simple upgrades, plus previous upgrades to Snow Leopard, increased RAM and the (recently upgraded) Hard Disk, my MacBook is even better today than it was when it was new!

The one (minor) negative is that the instructions were entirely in Japanese.  Thankfully I've used similar products before and was able to "wing it".  I assume that others are able to do the same, but I never underestimate the ability of people to do something wrong...

Even better for me is that rather than ordering it and having to wait, they have a retail store within a mile of my home:

They also sell various iPod & iPhone cases and accessories, as well as miscellaneous items from Japan.  If you're nearby, you should really check it out.

What just happened?

I upgraded my internet connection to 20Mbps down/2Mbps up some time ago. And since then, every time I ran a speed test, it was pretty much right on the money. I ran a speed test this morning, and this is what I got:

 

I ran several more tests and the results were pretty much identical.  I sure hope it stays like this... ;)
