  1. Good luck by StarKruzr · · Score: 2, Insightful · on MacBook Announcement Expected on Tuesday

    Expect Intel toilet-graphics in all but the most powerful MacBook, if even that. Remember, this is their budget machine. The toilet-graphics will allow them to drop the price OR make more of a margin on the computer. Either way, they win.

    This is super disappointing to me. I was really hoping Apple would come out with a small tablet with a discrete graphics controller. I love mine, but would get rid of it in a second if Apple came out with something just like it.

  2. Re:Better place to wear your player by fuck+nwbvt · · Score: 1 · on Rumored iPod Flash Leaked

    You mean like everyone already does with their iPod Mini? Stroll around Central Park for ten minutes and you can't help but see dozens of joggers with these things around their arms.

    I agree--I don't see that wearing one as a necklace would be a benefit.

  3. Re:Best Keyboard... by RevMike · · Score: 1 · on A Glance At 24 Keyboards & Mice

    I'm still looking for a keyboard that puts the function keys where the belong - in two columns left of the alphabetic section of the keyboard.

    I use an a IBM Wireless Navigator Pro. The keys have a real nice tactile feel - almost like the old IBM keyboards. It has an integrated pointing device - a thumb joystick in the upper right corner, with mouse buttons in the upper left. The numeric keypad has been removed, so it sits in my lap comfortably.

    I didn't like it at first. It took about a day or two to adjust to it. I've grown very comfortable with it, however.
