OSNews featured two reviews of the new 12" Powerbook from Apple last month. Using a machine and more fairly evaluating it, is a continuous process, so when new facts emerge, we should be reporting them back. So, what I discovered this weekend is that my 12" Powerbook doesn't like... the mountains. Read on, it is an interesting issue. Update: The issue is now logged at Apple's tech support db.

Can anyone think of a reason why a HD would not work on that altitude?
Speaking of the clunk-clunk noises, that's what my 40gb Maxtor has been doing lately and that's followed by a reboot usually. I thought it was the PSU but disconnecting the HD and booting off a Knoppix CD I was able to run for a long long time without any problems. The weird thing is, the drive is stationary on the desk here about 60 meters from sea level and has been for over a year. There were problems with the PSU as well though. But today I've had no problems although I used to experience a reboot every few hours or so. Very weird.
Anyway, about HD quality. It seems to be related to the size of the HD. Newer and bigger drives tend to crash much more often while old cheap 3gb and smaller ones live happily on. They just dont make em like they used to.
