Apple calls it a delamination issue.
Apple calls it a delamination issue.
I have been living with a problem for a about a year...
It had to do with my polycarbonate MacBook, my stalwart supporter of my blog - specifically the non-slip rubber bottom case slowly separating from my laptop. In fact, yesterday morning it was looking rather gnarly hanging by a few bottom screws. It became a hazard and embarrassingly ugly. I was putting it off, a little longer, getting it fix until I looked online and discovered that Apple changed its program regarding defective MacBook bottom cases, extending the coverage period from two years after purchase to four years. I'm happy I took the time to check online. I quickly made an appointment with the Genius Bar at my favorite Apple store.
I wasn't exactly sure when I purchased my MacBook. I knew it was sometime in 2009. Well, Chris of Apple told me it was in October 24th and I made it in time by under 3 months. Was I happy! They had one case left in stock and in short time my old MacBook looked new again. I must praise Apple for the good service and especially for extending this repair program. In fact, Apple sent me a service confirmation waving the $114 dollar fee!
Thanks Apple!
... and After!
Kudos to Apple for the free bottom case replacement
and for dealing with this problem - properly!

Euskaltel-Euskadi looks the way of the dodo. The Spanish institutions that supported the team can no longer fund it. Unless a sponsor comes to the rescue in the 11th hour then this Basque ride will be over. It's going to be hard not to see the orange kit in the peloton.
Changes?

Look who's back?
God of Thunder...
Hammer Time!
Forget the dismal showing in the Tour de France.
BMC has won the last three stages of the Tour of Poland. Yesterday, Thor Hushovd struck his second stage victory in three days. What's that I hear? That's Thor's victory cry!
Stage 5 high!
Great to see him winning again!
Go Ryder!
Heading back to N. America...
Any indication of Ryder Hesjedal's intention to make a better showing of his rough season is answered in this velonews article. Always a fighter, Hesjedal is planning to ride in the upcoming Tour of Utah, Tour of Alberta and Montreal/Quebec.
Hopefully [Alberta] is a great race. It has great people behind it. I have a lot of ties to Alberta; it’s only one province over from [British Columbia, where Hesjedal lives], so I am looking forward to that. That leads into Quebec for the one-days. Those are great races, and I’ve showed myself there before.”
