Firmware Fixes On The Way For Fujifilm X100
I’d like to say I’ve had my problems with the X100 , but since inventory is so tight, they haven’t had a chance to get us one to review yet.

“iBooks” Publisher Sues Apple
A publisher, John T. Colby, bought a series of old titles and sold under the name iBooks in since 1999. Around the same time, Apple sold laptops under the iBook name and, more important, began its iBook store in 2010. Colby is stating that Apple has essentially destroyed his business and that: “Apple’s use of the mark ‘iBooks’ to denote the electronic library that can be accessed via its iPad tablet computer and its iPhone is likely to overwhelm the good will of plaintiffs’ ‘ibooks’ and ‘ipicturebooks’ ...

The only way to extend their lifespan is with in-flight refueling, and a new gas station on the ISS might make that possible.
