I’ve got a small blog side project happening. One issue I’ve been unable to resolve is changing the permalink structure.

Where are the Apple Knockoffs?

By Mark Evans | Published: September 26, 2007
The power supply on my MacBook crapped out, which seems to be a common issue judging by some of the forums I visited. When I went looking for a replacement, one thing that struck me is how Apple has tight control over the peripheral market. The only power supply available was a $99 unit from [...]
