".mahalo()" which is the destroy method is non-functional in the current release, even though it in the documentation. Artifacts from pasting and x-browser is a bitch too. It looks promising, but it ain't ready for primetime, and don't expect get much support either.
I just wanted to mention that I'm tracking every single connecting device onto my city's main international airport's WIFI network (for analytics). I think this is a great gauge on the popularity of portables. And of millions of connecting devices, Mac portables and iDevices represent 63% of it all! It's definitely more than I would have thought, and it's quite interesting. You might think, oh right iDevices, but the breakdown is 60% Macbooks, 3% iPhones, 0.6% iPads.
