I found this post to be very interesting (from Summer-Accepted-2006):

I have a problem with “issuing the payment in the currency of the
country listed in my shipping address”.
The country I chose from the list (I had to :) ) is Yugoslavia, but
Yugoslavia hasn’t been around for 3-4 years. It’s called “Serbia and
Montenegro” now. And that name too is not going to last for long,
because Montenegro (the “state” I live in) has just recently (May,
21st) organized a referendum about independence, and the citizens
chose to be independent of Serbia. This is Balkan folks :) .
So what’s the problem? Serbia’s official currency is dinar (DIN), and
Montenegro’s euro (€), so I’d like that check sent to me to be in
euros. The others SoCers from “Yugoslavia“, are actually from Serbia
and they should get their checks in dinars.

An interesting article at Ars Technica in reaction to the glossy screens now used in the new 13″ MacBooks. Basically: the new Apple laptops have glossy screens because Steve Jobs is an idiot.
