I went for about 6 months without a computer to sync my iPod with, and this was months 2-7 of iPod ownership for me, so I really formed my use habit in that way. It is nice to have my entire library backed up, plus my photo library. You can never have too many backups.
50% of People with bad experiences tell other people and complain loudly and publicly, 1% of people with good experiences tell other people and laud loudly and publicly.
I like how: "Apple May Be Holding Back The Music BizCritics say iTunes-only downloads and inflexible pricing are hurting song sales"
became: "Apple Holding Back Music Biz?"
Especially since Critics == Gorog
If they do, then programmers will start assuming that the user has two buttons and start programming for them.
Right now I can do everything I want with one button, and can use two if I want... If every developer and every future potential developer signed a contract in blood to the effect of "I won't make crappy decisions like burying an essential operation in a stupid contextual menu" then Apple might consider a two button mouse... until then, please... hold your breath...
And once again, as with my iTunes + null separator character bug, it was quickly marked "No Workaround" and I lost privileges to view it. I cannot fathom why they don't want me to see the report again.
Mostly because they are a big corporation and they hate you... specifically you... you should start a website about how Apple hates you, and live out the rest of your life a bitter, shell of a man...
This Article might be interesting... apparently there is some trouble with the lawyers in the case... The named plaintiff in the suit was an attorney with one of the firms.
You seem to want the cutting edge, but another buying idea is to wait until there is an update and buy the last generation new when they slash prices to drop inventory... You get a really good price, and Macs tend to be usable longer. I bought a new computer my first three years in College, and now I've had my PB G4 867MHz for almost 2 years. I'm perfectly happy with this computer now, and if I buy a computer any time soon, I'll probably get a desktop and keep this laptop until it falls apart.

my last generation iPod has more than 30GB... and I need more

23% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
... "Apple Computers" as a proper noun I'm going to shoot them. It is Apple Computer.
They make Macs, not MACs
...to the term "rice burner"

OpenDoc... doesn't that have to do with Copland or Rhapsody or Pink or Taligent or something?
when I type slashdot into my address bar, it already goes to slashdot.org
"An up-close look at the components and other materials used... found that the materials inside the unit cost Microsoft $470 before assembly"
umm... how do they know what it cost's Microsoft?
"PowerBook paint chips, PowerBook palm stains, PowerBook warping, iBooks getting dirty, iPod battery life, mouse ergonomics."
Ummm... out of that list 1, maybe 2 (battery life, maybe mouse ergonomics) have to do with reliablity and usability...
what about marketing... someone has to pay for that... and without marketing we don't know what we are supposed to like.
wait, you are talking about something that makes the small market even smaller?
So what's the problem?

I got Virex with .Mac...
I scan every once in a while, and now I have Stuffit automatically launch it to scan every new archive I unstuff...
I figure I don't want to be the first guy to get a virus for OS X... but I'm not consumed with worry about it...
I'm embarrassed... I just read it wrong :-)
wait, how would "malice" be non-"deliberate..."

looks like the 12" still comes with a 256MB Stick built in... 256 removable...
t keyboard->Backlit Keyboard ...all in less than 2 years... (anyone want to overpay for a "classic" Al Powerbook 12" ?)
That's better than my 12"... came with 128MB built in... I have 640 MB of RAM now...
Looking at getting that 15"er... It would double (or more) almost every spec on my 1st Gen 12" aluminum
32MB VRAM->128MB
60GB HD->100GB
867MHz->1.67GHz
640MB RAM->1GB
FW400->FW800
USB1.1->USB2.0
Nonbackli
1x SuperDrive ->8x Superdrive
1024x768->1280x854
12"->15"
4.5 lbs ->5.6lbs
100baseT->1000baseT
