I don't know about anyone else, but wheneve I fly my blood preasure goes WAY up, I sweat a lot more and I am usually VERY pissed because of the inefficiency EVERYWHERE. I'm sure I'd get flagged every time. This is total BS. I know lots of people who do the same thing, whether it's the stress fo flying, running late, flight delays, etc... I dont' see this working.
systems that identify liquids in carry-ons, systems that detect material on clothing that are common in bomb making, etc... are MUCH better options.
Putting people in a two hour long queue to go thru this system and then flagging them for being upset, sweating, etc... is just plain idiotic.
Why would a person want to limit their options? Why not try to get the biggest bang for your buck?
This line of thinking surrounded Macs has always confused me. We pay more for less(GPU in this case) and we're supposed to be proud of that fact? Sorry, not me. I want something that can run vista if need be AND something that I can run NON-bleading edge games like Civ 4 and HOMM 5. Is that asking too much? I don't think so.
What is so difficult for you all to see the juxtaposition betwee nthe title and the body of the message? There were dozens of posts outrght blaming Bush or implying that Bush was at fault for this. When will people realize that it doens't matter if it's Clinton/Bush/Reason/Carter/etc... ?
I know this isn't the right place to ask. But is the 965 available for the older yonah chip? Or the new merom on up?
I'm just trying ot figure out if Apple could update the GPU in the Macbooks and stick with the yonah to still differentiate the Macbooks from the Macbook Pros/
customer: I am having problems with my internet connection telco: Well, everything looks good on our side. You need to contact your local municipality. customer: uhhhh, what's a municipality?
Sorry, I don't liked to that ole top 40 carnival barker. Just pointing to the numerous anti Christian stances the ACLU have taken. Sure, they do actually read their charter occasionally and do defend a small Christian church being foced out of it's localtion every year or two. But when the record is like 100 to 1 against, you can't point to the one and say they are being even handed.
Well, YOU can, but I'm talking about logical people.
No, but it will most likely mean they will be replaced by politicians who are touchy feely and believe we shouldnt' do anything to stand up to militant Islam. Well, unless you think lobbing cruise missles into baby food factories is something.
You use your laptop for work, great, this is the perfect machine for you provided you don't use FCP, Motion, etc...(read 3-D graphics).
But if I were to pick a group of people who DO want to play some games, it would be the consumer, not the Pros. It really wouldn't be THAT big a deal if Apple didn't have, as part of it's propaganda, the fact that prior iBooks had it's own GPU and that the iBook didn't suffer from pathetic grapic performance like those run of the mill cheap PCs.
Shipping these with 512M memory is not the nicest thing for Apple to do to it's customers. But usually those who want to really push the machines know they MUST upgrade the RAM anyway,
I'm sure it's already been stated, but here goes anyway.
With a GPU, the Macbook would DESTROY the sales of the Macbook Pro. Once Intel comes out with the C2D, that chip will go into the Macbook Pro, and then there will be enough of a difference to allow big boy graphics in the Macbook. Then again, apparently Intel's next IG, the 965, will not suck AS bad and might suffice for basic 3-D use.
Exactly. The X-Men movie is the 1st movie I've wanted to see in the last couple of months. Maybe I'm not the demographic they are shooting for anymore, I actually have a brain.
You may be right. It's all BIG business now, so I'm sure it's kickbacks on contracts, and expensive gifts under the table that gets the bosse sto tell the underlings what to play.
"Corporate said we have to play the latest Britney 3 more times an hour or we're all fired. Wait, why is this my problem? Corporate just pipes the music that I play directly anyway. I'm so confused."
I'm not sure if the band's cut is out of the Sony cut or what, but Sony getting 70% of the money seems excessive. Remind me why artists need companies like Sony? Especially known bands.
How would they get their songs played on the radio? You need a big company to bribe the radio company to get songs on the air. No one does ANYTHING for free anymore. It's not about finding hte best music to play, it's about getting the most payola per play for the radio folks.
When they ask me if I need any help, was to ask them to help me out with the latest DIVX DVD players. I'd say that I remember Circuit City saying ot always ask for DIVX in ther ads and was now interested in one.
Of course this doesn't work much anymore, but a year or two after the DIVX debacle, it was priceless.

Birth defects anyone? Some proof there alright.

I'm hoping it will be worth the wait to get the Macbook if it also comes with Intel's 965 GPU.
It's Insightful becaus people with a brain could interpret the underlying meaning.

I am shocked the US voted in Bush. I mean the US was never a target of Terrorism when Clinton was president.

It's called the Gold's Gym model.

depends on what religion he is. Don't believe me, I can can point you to many pro ACLU posts that essentially say the same thing.
Ahhh now I get it. The rights of those who happen to share the same faith as those in power are worthless to the ACLU.
Thanks for clearing that up.

Does this mean the ACLU has stopped their assault on anything Christian? Or are they branching out?
No, but it will most likely mean they will be replaced by politicians who are touchy feely and believe we shouldnt' do anything to stand up to militant Islam. Well, unless you think lobbing cruise missles into baby food factories is something.
Queue the anti-GOP idiots
The article did say they could carry 200 lbs of equipment with them as well.
