a Macbook gets extra life...

just when my wife was about to throw the towel...(on using her Macbook), Apple posted a firmware update for Macbooks suffering from RSS (random shutdown syndrome).

I digged this story on saturday on RSS and the firmware update:

Also got listed as customer ~1538th at http://macbookrandomshutdown.com/

if you have any friends suffering from RSS, redirect them there... the patch takes <5 minutes to get fully installed, and after it... Macbooks return to their greatness (at least my wife's did)
