Sure enough, the cells in the new battery are bulging and causing the metal piece on the bottom of the battery to protrude along the front edge. Obviously, this is bad news. I don't want a battery that grows. So I have e-mailed Fastmac to see what they can do to help me with the battery that I bought last December. Meanwhile, I will retrieve my old Apple battery from work tomorrow evening and stop using the TruePower battery for fear that the thing will either explode or catch on fire.

I just received a follow up e-mail offering to ship me a replacement battery ASAP. Nothing beats responsive customer service!
  • Toying with FriendFeed Over the weekend I started playing with FriendFeed, and tonight I am starting to see some payoff as I find new Mac-related stories there that are not popping up for me in my RSS feeds that I track through Google Reader and NetNewsWire.

The challenge with FriendFeed is that it is just the latest in a long line of social networking tools that are catching on across the Net right now. Over the last couple of weeks I have also dabbled in using LinkedIn in addition to tools I have been using for quite a while like Twitter. And meanwhile, I haven't looked at Facebook in ages...
