Reinforcing stereotypical gender roles? I mean, what if the woman was into Harleys and KISS? Is it designed for her? Perhaps it should read "The first notebook designed for women that aspire to be cheap prosititutes that marry well in the vein of Paris Hilton."

Why European mobile service is better.
Almost everyone gets free incoming minutes.
Yeah, and you also let the person calling you pay a tarriff up to four times the rate of a fixed line call. Calling a mobile number can cost five times as much as making an international call 20.000 kilometres away. Ever wonder why Europeans don't use their mobiles to make voice calls? :)

indeed in china but not if all of them do it.
It does not have to be China, i am pretty sure i would sack everyone that worked for me if i was running a factory in the USA and get away with it. You just can't be so obvious about it.

I do I agree, I would love to see starcraft 1 touch on the ipad......but I'll play Red Dead Redemption or Dead space on my tv
Well, as I said before, this isn't iphone against consoles, this is iphone against other handhelds. We should be comparing games we'd expect to play on the handheld devices.
Of course console is going to be better. If we are talking about playing at home and not needing portability, of course the console is a better choice than any of the handhelds.
You're comparing apples to oranges here. You may not be interested in handheld gaming, but that is what is relevant to this discussion, not console gaming. The iphone and other hand helds really aren't competitors to consoles, they serve a different purpose really.

I have the same problem, my printer isnt supported for USB printer sharing and I have 2 computers. THe printer (Samsung ML 1210) is a great printer, but it just isnt supported by 10.2 USB printer sharing, and it has some bugs in 10.2, but Im sure Samsung will work them out - eventually.

I say air but I'm crazy over mine. It allows me to take all my stuff everywhere I go, and it's light weight. If I want to play games or need a big screen for computer drafting, I just use an external monitor.
I was in engineering school so we done a lot of group work at school. The air allow me to take all my work plus software needed for school. Yes, you can use dropbox for files but not programs.
For me, portability was a must. However, your needs may be different than mine. Your asked for opinions, so I vote for the air.

Upgrading RAM is quite easy. I don't know about PNY branded RAM, but I have heard good things of Crucial and Kingston RAM, I myself use CnMemory RAM in my 2009 MBP.

Of course a touchscreen is better for racing, that's why all F1 cars have touchscreens instead of steering wheels nowadays ;)
Anyway look at the Xperia play for a true "convergance" device. Actual controllers AND a smartphone and it emulates a Playstation (and it's legal!! :eek: )

For future proof and if budget allows, get the 6-core 3.33. At least those CPU's are still spendy currently. W3680 is 1059.00. 2x E5620's are around 700.00. I am in the same boat right now at work. We need to have 10.6 bootable pro's. If the 2011-12 Pro's ship with Lion and we wait we are very unhappy. So we are most likely buying a fleet of 3.33 6-cores. Update to lion after 10.7.4+. The users currently have 2.26GHz 8-core and they hate them for the Adobe work they do.

I'm in favour of this move. CDs were great (along with cassette tapes and LPs) because you could play them in any CD player and you could buy the CDs themselves from any shop. For some odd reason we don't get this with MP3 players and I do think that's anti-competitive. If I want to move to a different MP3 player or buy my music from another store to use on my iPod then that should be my choice and Apple should have to accept that.
This has not really been the case, though. When VHS was replaced by DVD, you didn't get the new media for free. Being locked into a particular platform occurs all the time--toner cartridges for printers aren't standardized, for example. I can't use Comcast's on demand to buy programs, then switch to DirecTV and have them transferred. When I buy the latest video game, it doesn't come packaged with PS2, PC, Mac, and XBOX versions.
See the theme? If you choose a limited hardware platform, you must accept the constraints of that platform. CDs are universal because the standard was universal (Sony, Philips, etc. formed a consortium from the get-go)--multiple manufacturers make CD players. Here, the content is the same but the packaging is different--cassette, CD, M4A. Only Apple makes M4A players.
By purchasing a song from iTunes, you are receiving the file with limitations. The reason for the price is bundling. If you want a product with no restrictions, which you want to use to the fullest extent of fair use (or beyond, if you so choose), you have to look elsewhere. You're not being denied fair use when you rent a movie on VHS for $2 when the DVD rental is $4...and you don't get to rent the VHS, then make a DVD just to save $2. Likewise, you're not paying for an unrestricted copy of the song on iTunes, and you aren't entitled to treat it as such using "fair use" as an excuse.
If you want unencumbered music, pay for the CD. If you want instant gratification and a lower price, then be an adult and accept the DRM. The option you want is out there and legally available--it's just that CDs are a "bad value." Likewise, iTunes tracks are probably a "bad value" to many people who think 99 cents should entitle them to DRM-free files. Should DRMed digital files be cheaper? I think so. But that's no excuse to go beyond the clear and publicized terms of my payment.
I don't want to have to re-purchase my iTunes music that I have bought. If DVD Jon has a way to allow reasonable consumer choice then FairPlay to him.
Nobody wants to buy things twice, but that's no excuse. I have piles of spare tools that fit cars I no longer own; toner cartridges for printers I no longer own; memory cards for cameras I no longer own; and floppy disks for computers I no longer own. Each time I switch companies, I have to deal with the consequences of my prior purchases.

Anyway, if anyone is interested, let me know and we'll talk, you can then Google my name (you'll find over 5,000 references to it) and you'll see I won't do anything bad with your credentials.
Thank you all and I hope someone helps me deliver the US E! for my gf :)

If I were an MS shareholder, I would be OUTRAGED.
How much did they pay for that? To be fair, I don't recall if MS bought just VPC or all of Connectix, but it hardly matters!
That's got to be a giant pile of shareholder wealth pissed away in a half-assed attempt at being part of (read: smothering) the increasing popularity and utility of Apple.
I would really love to see the numbers on that boondogle.
:rolleyes:
The connectix deal wasn't a 'boondogle' at all - connectix had other products than VPC. MS Virtual Server is based on the code they got from connectix. The server virtualization market is absolutely huge compared to VPC's potential market. I'm sure to Microsoft, VPC was a drop in the bucket in terms of revenue, and if I were a shareholder, I'd be happy as hell that they dropped it.
You're not the only one to point this out:
They got their value out of Connectix in Virtual Server. Like it or not the Mac stuff was just the tip of the iceberg.
So, I'll say that my outrage (which was at best hypothetical) has subsided substantially. :o
Just goes to show what happens when one thinks the world revolves around him-/herself. :rolleyes: I suppose my only exposure to Connectix was with VPC -- turns out my whole experience was some kind of also-ran footnote. Oh, well....

Tired of Apple's locked ecosystem
Switching to Android.
I travel to China half of the year, I NEED and unlocked phone so that i can pop in my Chinese SIM card when i'm there.
iPhone is just not for me.
FU Apple.... so much for Freedom in the US.
Um. Well, I bolded my favorite parts of what you said. Am I the only one who sees the irony in this post? Tired of a locked ecosystem, and claiming theres no freedom in the US... and then talking about travelling to China... really? You must want to kill yourself while you're in China.

That is not strictly true. The MS purchase of Apple shares was little more than a token gesture to show that MS still believed in the company.
Not really. Microsoft had no reason to show that they "believed" in Apple. The investment was a condition of legal settlement. See post #98.
