Frings beta für iphone hat gerade meine SMS gelöscht.

Da dachte ich mir, die hol ich mir aus dem backup.

Dumm nur, dass itunes immer nur eine version hält. Dachte ich, macht nichts, ich hab ja ein backup von meinem Mac via time machine..

/System/Library/CoreServices/backupd.bundle/Contents/Resources/StdExclusions.plist

A brand Rimowa Salsa Multiwheel 869.77 (110 liters) suitcase at the beginning of a longer trip.

Ein nagelneuer Rimowa Salsa Multiwheel 869.77 (110 Liter) Koffer vor einer langen Reise.

mit allen seinen Rädern

After each US flight one was missing, therefore the suitcase arrived back home like this. Maybe the US luggage handle staff had this Rimowa wheel cracking challenge. To be fair, the suitcases weight was about 31.5 kg, but the wheels should have handled that anyway.

Nach jeder Teilstrecke fehlte dann ein Rad, und der Koffer kam so wieder zuhause an. Vielleicht gab es ja einen Wettbewerb unter den Gepäckmitarbeitern an den US Fluhäfen "hey, a Rimowa, lets see if the wheel cracks". Der Koffer wog zwar 31.5 kg, aber er hätte das dann doch schadlos überstehen müssen.

Rimowa claimed a manufacturing problem and sent me new wheels (I did not want to bring it back into the shop).
Let's see, if they survive next time.

Rimowa beruft sich auf ein Herstellungsfehler bezüglich der defekten Räder und schickte mir Ersatzräder (da es mir zu mühsam war mit dem Koffermonster in einen Laden zu gehen).
Nun bin ich mal gespannt, ob diese die nächste Reise überstehen.

Adam brought his frustration about Apple Displays to the next step by providing a video:

and made me aware of it in his comment in my blog

I wrote about that twice here:

Well, Apple, well,

beginning of December 2006 I thought it would be nice to have a new Laptop to play around with some photo software and get a speed bump for my Al PB 4G bought end September 2003. A MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo seemed to be a decent option. I also hoped that Apple had improved their quality management and I would not go through the nasty experience I had with my Al PB to have the screen replaced 5 times until it deemed ok (you might remember the white spots and the uneven illumination issues Apple had with their first 15" Aluminum PowerBooks). The fact that Apple was really fair with their replacement and repair policy mitigated the issues, however it was still annoying to spent hours in discussions with Apple Care reps and wait for a repair and return.

I ordered my 2.33 GHz MBP C2D 160 gig CTO matte on Dec-01-2006. It was promised to arrive Dec-21-2006, therefore I was very pleased to receive 4 days later the note, that it will ship Dec-05-2001. After TNT trying to hunt me down for some days hold it in my hands Dec-12-2006.

I booted up the nice box, but immediately recognized that something is strange with the screen. It was not obvious for me the first time. After working with it for half a day, I recognized stressed eyes. Further examinations of the screen showed the following issues:
