New MacBook Pro battery
The tech at the Genius Bar in the Apple store replaced the swollen battery in my laptop for a not so small fee. I had hoped they would warrantee it but no dice. Man, that store was mobbed! - in an upscale mall with very few folks wandering around the other stores. Apple must be doing something right.

Research shows that language suppresses visual memory, This is called verbal overshadowing and is a well-established phenomenon .... For example, in one study people watched a short videotape of a bank robbery, then spent twenty minutes doing something unrelated. Then one group spent five minutes writing down everything they could remember about the bank robber's face, while the other group did an unrelated task.
