by NathanMacBookPro protection on the cheap
I wanted a sleeve for my new 15″ MacBookPro . Incase makes good neoprene sleeves, but I didn’t want to spend $30. Sam’s guide to making your own laptop sleeve out of corduroy looked promising, but I don’t have a sewing machine.
The super budget solution was to tap into that other Force that binds the universe together - duct tape. All you do is take the paper fiber sleeve that the MacBookPro ships with and liberally apply duct tape. You could go the extra mile and follow the isoglossia guide to doing the same thing except with an extra layer of foam padding.

Seeing that this is a Newshutch Blog, and seeing that i use Newshutch (heck, i left Google Reader just because of Newshutch’s interface) i find it quite disappointing to see a post that has a Lifehacker, Makezine etc. type of content.
I think you can create a personal blog in order to show posts like this.
My intention isn’t offending you or anyone, it’s just that i like Newshutch and use it everyday, and i would love to be able to read posts about new stuff, improvements, stats etc.
That’s the reason why this blog exists actually, IMHO.
Best regards.

Eh? Not sure why you think you have any say as to what someone wants to write in their blog. I’d estimate that the Newshutch blog has more subscribers than either of the developers’ blogs, and if they have something useful or interesting to post, then they should be free to do so.
Why not just subscribe to the Newshutch Updates RSS feed if that’s what you want to read?

My idea was not to dictate to them what to write in their blog…
It was more of a constructive criticism. But your suggestions settles things for me. Thank you.
I will subscribe to that feed.
