just my observations, I get about 3.5 hours of battery on Normal usage. As far as heat goes mine gets warm up but the charger when charging, and gets hot in the middle, far end of …

I won't trust the indicator on the computer anyway, it is always wrong (usually to my advantage - it always seem to show less time than the factual time I get out of my 3+ year old…

according the review at MacWorld mag, the battery life and heat are similar to the previous 15". However, just like when the 12" rev A first came out, people found wild variation …

now that themepark and shapeshifter are updated, i'm hoping to see some new themes released. i've yet to see a really impressive theme, since cathode. though that theme was too da…

Unfortunately, you most likely aren't going to see too much in the way of modded themes or even new ones. Several "regulars" who did a lot of theme work for OSX have recently "reti…

There were several amazing themes that were supposed to be produced out of the theme contest that never saw the light of day. Where is nickel cobalt?

Nickel Cobalt is being worked ... expect a couple of months to iron it out in TP3 and the new SS so it may have all the skins people want. in the meantime expect neat stuff like:…

ah PixelJuice is kind of nice (i'm not big on orange). it's what i was talking about, color-wise, but if it doesn't have any other color options, i doubt i'd use it.

I updated Kamino for SS 2.3, in the SS downloads panel
