So, this new Apple news is freakin' awesome! I want one of these right now! Now I just have to wait and see if Apple/Mac will finally be validated by the geek community before I can get one. Its long had the approval of the artsy-fartsy and recently, the trendy, but could this be the news that finally gives it approval with my oh so important "Linux or nothing else" loyalist friends? I mean it's a UNIX based OS, dual core chip in a laptop!! Look at the facts people, this is as geeky as it gets.
One thing people seem to be forgetting about this whole TV mess, people are still buying new 'outdated' tv's. I wonder if that 70 million TV estimate is the current amount of outdated tv's or if it includes all the TV's that will be bought by the clueless consumer between now and then.
The switch will be even more painful when the poor, elderly, etc... that just bought a new tv for Christmas 2008 finds out February 2009 that it is obsolete.
Sure, TCP/IP can route around failures if you have a network robust enough to reroute as said before, but its even easier to find the problem when there's only one route. Just do a traceroute for the farthest IP address on the network (line) and you know the failure is between the last router to respond and the first one to not respond.
Problem solved.
Nah, I think OpenDocument will become the perfect standard that looks the same in Office as it does in OpenOffice, just like HTML worked so webpages look the same in IE, Firefox, Opera.....

Shouldn't the fact that a cow doesn't have a motor be what precludes it from being a *motor* vehicle.

From the article: The 3 cores are at 3.2 GHZ, the bus is 5.4 GHZ.
Not a problem, just use the Biodiesel to flavor your stew!
