Double feature this weekend! Here are several articles from around the travel web that I think you may find interesting:

American Airlines mechanic in Miami charged with sabotaging plane. It aborted takeoff. – Miami Herald

I finally got around to reading the story on this, as I have a MacBook Pro that needs fixing (and will hopefully get fixed in the next couple months). I do have a MacBook Pro with Retina display within the window of concern. Just need to enter the serial number into the recall page. Check yours as well!
