Pat,

They also have an app for the iPad. I don't particularly like the way their
app sets up the feeds so I am using Newsify.

Thanks!

Thanks for the tip, but I usually read the feeds on my laptop.

Thanks for alerting us to this recall.

But is it just me or does something seem wrong about this recall. I even traced it back to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and through several other "news" reports.

The batteries were available in black and white and rectangular. But the first MacBook Pro in 2006 through the 2008 MBP were all aluminum. I believe the removable batteries were square. Starting in 2009 the battery was internal.

The MacBook were available in black and white and I believe the batteries were all rectangular.

I believe they mean the MacBook.

Howdy.

Many home router models also have a WiFi base station built in.

If you have one of these, or, for example, you buy a separate Apple
AirPort Base Station and connect it to your existing cable modem, then
you can connect to the Internet via WiFi on your cell phone. Guests
could also connect when visiting you with their cell phones or laptops
or iPads.

The WiFi connection is going to be faster than most cell signal
connections.

If or when you set up a home WiFi base station, you are given the
opportunity to turn on the Wifi network, give your own Wifi Network a
meaningful name so its is easy to recognize and choose between several
in your neighborhood, and to turn on encryption and give your own
network a password that only you know. The password is used only once
and then your iPhone remembers it.
