Remains of the Day: Redefinition, please

19.06.2012
It's a day of redefinitions. For one thing, "Kodak moment" apparently now refers to taking someone to court; the MacBook Pro with Retina display has redefined how thin you can make an LCD, and Apple may be loosely redefining the word "everything." The remainders for Tuesday, June 19, 2012, meanwhile, are as constant as the north star.

Rochester, NY-based Eastman Kodak is suing Apple, alleging that Cupertino is attempting to block Kodak's sale of a large number of patents. Apple, for its part, says that it owns ten of the patents that Kodak is trying to sell. I guess we'll find out the truth when the judge threatens to cut the patents in half.

If you haven't gotten enough teardown action on the new MacBook Pro, iFixit has pulled apart the Retina display itself. The team did unearth some interesting things inside, including a data matrix and a series of dots--possibly a reference to the Game of Life--on the inside of the casing. Rumor has it the data matrix resolves into the message "Abandon all hope, ye who attempt to repair here."
