Why Can't It be Easier to Eject a Stuck CD/DVD from Macbook Pro
It's beyond my imagination why Mac doesn't offer a physical eject button for DVD drive.
I put in a blank DVD disc for burning data. A popup dialog popped up asking me what to do. I just hit escape. I opened finder. There's no the DVD drive being mounted.
Searching around, finally found the working solution: Open Disk Utility and choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-hand pane, then click on the Eject button.
Experience the Worst User Registration System at digg.com - Four Captchas to Read
I've been reading posts from from digg.com for a while. Last Fri, I decided to try to register as a user.
As usually, I was presented a screen to enter my information like user name, email, and password. Then a screen with four captchas was presented. I'd never encountered any site that asked a user to read more than one captcha!
What's more annoying was that some of the texts were not readable because of the mixed background colors although I am not color-blind. Some of the texts faded too much. I tried a couple more times and were not successful in getting by that screen.
I searched the team "digg captcha". Guess what? I am not alone. Check out the screenshot there. It's more human-readable than the ones I was presented.
