You just effectively admitted that Apple lovers are motivated by emotions instead of a rational judgement.
The dude said that it's not a one-size-fits-all solution and your response was effectively "you're a fanboy". Are you really sure you want to claim he's the one not being rational?
Thunderbolt? Did I miss something? Is a USB dongle which you can buy new for $30 not fast enough?
For me it's not an issue of speed, it's an issue of me not wanting to use up a USB port for it. The only thing for me that really eases the pain of the lack of ethernet is that they have TWO thunderbolt ports, I can use one of those for the ethernet instead.
Realistically though, I have a feeling that a Thunderbolt NIC dongle costs quite a bit more than it would cost to put the NIC on the motherboard.
What's worse is you'll probably want to buy two of them, one for that connection that you're always plugged into (i.e. work or home) then the second one for when you're oot and aboot somewhere.
Eh... the time of year can matter on that. Apple's prices don't drop like PC prices do. Anybody buying a Macbook Pro right now, for example, is going to get hosed.
Not to mention that they come from a life-rich planet that has given this area a multitude of different combinations to try before any became sustainable. Life on Earth can adapt to all sorts of hostile environments, but that doesn't mean that it can originate from them.
so the price you could buy it at if you had a time machine is relevant. the price you can buy it at today isn't.
Since they are not new anymore... YES.
and you still don't address why saying "higher resolution" when not meaning it --
I don't have a dispute with that comment. I could point out that there's a rumor of the 27" iMac getting 5,000 pixels horizontally, but I don't believe that rumor.
It was the 'iTards will eat it up' comment I was responding to, really. A mass market monitor running at resolutions like that, priced in the neighborhood of $2,000, wouldn't be successful just because a bunch of tards want it.
Based on Apples previous usage of Design patents for rectangular with round corners I think it's perfectly appropriate to panic.
Try breathing into a paper bag then reading up on that case. Apple didn't sue over rectangular with round corners.
They will sue others, even if they look completely different as the Galaxy tab was not even the same size or shape and was sued.
Yeah, it was completely different, so different that Samsung's lawyers couldn't tell them apart. Apple sued because Samsung had copied twenty five aspects of the iPad, not just the two that you heard about because you didn't RTFA.

You have a springloaded pop-out RJ45 jack that is a rigid frame with 8 electrical connector pins.
Uh, yeah, I've worked with those and I'd rather just have the thunderbolt adapter, please.

What does "more portable" mean? Either you can carry it, or you can't.
The size and weight are a factor in moving it around. That's a strange factor for a seemingly educated person to ignore.
$30 for Thunderbolt to Ethernet.
Calling someone a hater means you have no rational rebuttal of your own, thus surrendering the argument.
Not sure why you'd waste time responding to such a pointless comment in the first place though. Maybe the fanboi in you just can't let you ignore it.
Calling someone a fanboi means you have no rationale rebuttal of your own....
How is it mediocre? And how is the OS crummy?
OSX is crummy because a guy with a better haircut than me was in Starbucks writing a screenplay!
I could build 3 high performance desktops for that much.
Or 2 gaming windows laptops.
Or even a god damn server.
Wow, your backpack must be huge.

Read my comment again.
There actually is a difference between something happening and you making something happen. Your rationale requires a lack of understanding, here.
It isn't a wedge and it doesn't look like a MacBook Air. Sorry, but you'll have to wait a lil longer before you can post at +2.
Eh... the time of year can matter on that. Apple's prices don't drop like PC prices do. Anybody buying a Macbook Pro right now, for example, is going to get hosed.
Funny thing is, that means you're both right.
I didn't know Linux can run Amiga software.

Design patent or utility patent, what difference does it make?
It makes you wrong.
Thanks man, have a good weekend.
Sorry, but it is relevent for the very reason you mentioned: They're not made anymore. The price-point remains a BFD.
The idiot who modded this up didn't look up the price.
Big woop, I still can't put ICS on my Galaxy Tab.

A screen can break and still be useful, if ugly. I'm not sure why you'd bring up reality distortion yet not be aware of this.
Doubt you got my point.
