Even Lawrence Lessig Gets the Blues
I was searching for an airplane power adapter to use with my MacBook Pro, and lo and behold, I ran across this discussion thread on the Apple Support Discussions – “the problem with airplanes and the MBP“. Dr. Lessig, open source visionary and all-around cool guy is having the same problem as I. I’m telling ya, this is the laptop of choice for the open source crowd. How do we get the Apple MacBook Pro with its new MagSafe power connector to work on an airplane? I’m about to take a nearly four-hour plane trip to Portland with a battery that lasts much less than that. The answer, for now, seems to be the use of a high-power inverter. I don’t have time to pick up the recommended unit in time for my trip. Oh well.
