Today I have connected my laptop's HDMI to my friend's TV to prove that yes, you can watch stuff on a TV from a laptop. Was easier than I expected too, considering my laptop is ATi.
sent over 120 invites to google plus!!!! and am testing out the Firefox 8 nightly 64 bit build!!!! yes they are even fleshing out version 9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's common but doesn't affect every single one.
Just need to figure out how to update the firmware, apparently that can help.
Edit: Hmm, I can't update the SSD while I'm using it. Well, this is going to be a long and awkward process :-\
