MacBook Pro Gets Santa Rosa Chipset, LED Screen
frdmfghtr writes "TechNewsWorld is reporting that Apple has updated the MacBook Pro line with the Santa Rosa chipset from Intel. In addition, Apple is also introducing mercury-free displays with some models. 'When Apple presented new editions of its MacBook line last month, the company excluded the latest Intel Centrino chips, dubbed "Santa Rosa," which had been released just days prior. The chips have found their way into Apple's new high-end MacBook Pro notebooks, which the company revealed Tuesday. Certain models use mercury-free displays, falling in line with the company's recent ecological promises.'"
Yeah right! And I'm SURE his 37 screens in his mansion office have the came clean technology...Hey, Algore...my credits are still up for sale it you want them!
This has always been the case. But, sane people don't come to Slashdot to get bleeding edge news. They come to Slashdot for the discussion and the comments. Make all the jokes you like about trolls and idiots and "you must be new here" rhetoric, but Slashdot is still probably the finest moderated discussion system on the net. I mean, compare the comments here to those on Digg. No comparison whatsoever. Digg always attracts the most immature and badly thought through comments on the net. Worst of all, many of the really bad ones manage to survive within viewing threshold. It's a mess.
On the other hand, Slashdot moderation is quite good. You can witness the power of this system yourself as moderators mod your inane comment down below viewing threshold.
