    I could build that, of course I know why putting a desktop CPU in something that I want to run with a battery is a bad idea... I am glad you enjoy your laptop, it seems clear you do not use it anywhere but on your desktop..

    My 2007 MBP was about .5" thinner too..

    Oh well Asus abandoned the home built laptop market for a reason.

    Yes the Acura is just like the Civic, maybe you should crawl out of your bubble and drive one.

    Good thing the standard iPod warranty is a year then... Kind of hard to take the rest of your post seriously.

    Interesting comparison, more accurate than you obviously know. I am not sure you intended to prove the point you did.

    I would rate the two thinkpad's I have received from my employer as the two most shoddily built electronic devices I have ever owned. Complete crap. The things actually just break apart in normal use. I never had one last more than a year with out something breaking off. (with much less than daily use). My heavily used MBPs make it through 3-4 years without anything snapping off somehow.

    Your devices are not rated at 3Gb/s, the sata connection was. This device is..Supporting data transfers of up to 500MB/sec,....

    Interesting, because the market share of servers running that version of ftpd is significantly less than the desktop OSX market.

    Weird. I believe it is impossible anyone took the time to exploit it.

    He is lying, made up a big number to sound cool. Having worked in large environments with both platforms, the tools for managing large OSX deployments are as good or better than Windows and significantly less expensive.

    You have not actually shown any facts. The GP is correct all the payloads are prepared in advance. Windows does not survive its pre-made attacks any longer than OSX. You will continue to believe what you want. You will continue to be wrong.

    I agree, with XP that would have been ugly, but Windows 7 would survive that as well as anything.

    And they like a challenge. There is no press for being the one to hack the Windows systems. Any kid off the street could walk in with his hackomatic script and grab exploit-of-the-day from the mothership and have at it. Microsoft patches faster and they are still losing..

    You are confused about a lot of things, but thunderbolt in particular.

    Thunderbolt has 2x10Gbps full duplex PCIE channels (40Gbps).

    Some have also said that the Thunderbolt actually sends displayport data over discrete channels. I have no idea if this is true, and it does not really matter. It is faster no matter how you slice it.

    P.S. I just realized you measure speed differently than the rest of the world. You believe the 330M is faster than the 6750M..
