Apple opens up repair program for some MacBook hard drives

This one goes back a few years, but Apple has now finally, officially confirmed a hard drive problem that has plagued some MacBooks, and it’s announced a repair program that will allow you to get your hard drive replaced even if the MacBook is out of warranty. The specific models covered are both black and white MacBooks from 2006 and 2007 with 1.83GHz, 2GHz, or 2.16GHz processors, and either 60GB, 80GB, 100GB, 120GB, or 160GB hard drives. As you may recall, the hard drive issue in question is a pretty nasty one that can leave your data unrecoverable, but it seems like Apple will only replace your drive once you’re stuck with the flashing question mark on boot-up — it’s just recommending that people backup their data in the meantime. Hit up the link below for the complete details.

Third-party studio offers more confirmation of motion-sensing Nintendo DS2

We’ve already had a pretty clear indication that Nintendo’s inevitable DS successor would have at least some form of motion control, and an unspecified third-party studio has now offered some additional confirmation of that, and some downright glowing impressions of the device itself. According to CVG , an “insider” that’s currently using a DS2 development kit says that the DS2 is “genuinely the best thing I think I’ve ever worked with,” and that it has “a ’tilt’ function that’s not dissimilar to iPhone, but does a lot more.” The source further added that The Pokemon Company is getting “special attention” with it (rest easy, everybody), and that Nintendo likely won’t be showing off any hardware at GDC next month. Yeah, that sound you just heard was the rumor mill being cranked up a notch

Bug Labs’ BUGbase 2.0 prototype hands-on

At first glance, Bug Labs’ latest creation actually seems like a bit of a downgrade from the version it replaces — it loses the onboard LCD display and a handful of buttons, after all — but we sat down with CEO Peter Semmelhack today on the hustling, bustling floor of MWC to get the straight dope on what makes the BUGbase 2.0 a superior product. First of all, you can’t overlook the fact that they’ve moved to a Cortex A8-based OMAP3530, an appreciable boost from the ARM11 core it replaces, but it turns out there are a whole bunch of subtler changes too, like the inclusion of on-board audio out (pictured above toward the left of the base), HD video out capability through a module, and a second microSD slot

Olympus E-P2 review

The 12.3-megapixel E-P2 Micro Four Thirds camera offers some worthwhile improvements over its E-P1 predecessor while retaining the same classic looks. It’s more expensive than a similarly specified digital SLR, but there’s no denying that the quality of its movies and photos is great
