Mega Blocks produced in recent years are just as mechanically good as Lego

...and even if they don't break...THEY WON'T FIT! If any of the true lego nerds out there have ever tried to build anything relatively substantial with a combination of Mega Bloks and Lego, they have probably come to notice that, when stacking "standard" bricks, which have a thickness 3x that of "plate" bricks, the Bloks are actually slightly short, not necessarily enough for one to notice in one layer, but just enough to create a frustrating lopsided-ness and structural flaws in big enough models. This offset also tends to be by some impossible increment, such as 1/6th of a brick-height... SO THERE.

Mac OS X 10.5.2 Update Brings Welcome Fixes 433

jetpack writes to make sure we're aware that Apple's OS X 10.5.2 update is available and that it contains plenty of improvements and fixes that users have been asking for. Macworld enumerates some of the big ones, saying that the update "shows Apple listens to users" (sometimes). A couple of the new features simply restore Tiger (10.4) capabilities that Leopard (10.5) had inexplicably withdrawn. You can now shut off the much-maligned transparency of the menu bar, and organize your Dock stacks hierarchically and display them as folders. And Apple has provided welcome access to common Time Machine functions in the menu bar.
