Laptops have always been a compromise, and thus the choice has always come down to personal preference. Please stop arguing that one is better than the other, because as some of us have been trying to tell you, you'd be wrong.
I have no idea what kind of point you think you are making to this thread. Nobody has ever argued that laptops aren't a compromise. You seemed to argue earlier that some will always hate the 11" (for example no matter how much resolution it will be bad). I made the point that depending on what exactly the tradeoff is (storage versus resolution, etc...) that this will change who wants the 11" and doesn't.
If you are going to argue a point, you should actually have a point to make in mind. I have no idea what you think you are trying to say here. You're trying to say it's personal preference? Of course! Nobody here has ever said there is only one "right" answer.

If the bottom half of the device is a touchscreen, you don't have to use physical overlays. You could expand on the concept of the Nintendo DS.
I think the point is to make it tactile. To have buttons that actually push down, sliders that actually slide, knobs that actually turn, etc. The innovation here is that a *lot* of people have thought of 2 different concepts:
1) Keyboard overlays, where the input device is still a keybard, you're just customizing the functions of the particular keys
2) Video touchscreen-based interface like the Nintendo DS, early Treos, etc.
The point is, this would have a touch sensitive interface (one big trackpad), and the *physical* overlays would give a tactile feel, but the functionality would actually be engineered and programmed as interactions with this giant trackpad. That's something I haven't seen before and I commend Apple for patenting it.

Ordered my 32 gig wifi mid-day on release day, 3/11. Standard shipping Fed Ex - delivered on the 25th. Using it right now.
Nice! Two weeks exactly...Was the wait 2-3 weeks when you ordered it?

At least this means we're almost DEFINATELY seeing new hardware... though that's not new. Are all the international stores down? (Might be a hint of whether Apple's got this deal worked out for many countries?)
Yeah, all down.

Was the eMac ever available for everyone?
Yes, not at first, but once it became popular it was available to everyone. And for most of eMac's life.

Bummer on the GPU. The 7800 is probably worthless anyways :p
Oh and I did manage to get all 4 clients running the the G5. Trying to figure out the PPD on that?

People need to travel more. China is not going to give them the death penalty. The country has a true eye for an eye system, unlike the U.S. which let thousands of convicted murderers be well fed in an air conditioned facility for decades.

The world's best movie editors never do their job on Mac platform, on which there is little resource/tools compared with other OS, dont they?
A software on mac could be even called a great news. so as steam.
The same thing just needs more hardware resources on Mac.
e.g., for starcraft 2, one needs 1gb on win but 2 on mac...
Video card perfermance is another restraint, may be due to bad driver development.
??????????????????
Last I checked Apple quoted about 49% of the professional production market?
Video game restraints are due almost entirely to DirectX vs OpenGL. A combination of coders wanting to stick with what they know and Microsoft working with content creators in that area. For that reason developers can really streamline the code for Windows games... It uses more hardware because it's less efficient. Conversely, when coding for Final Cut they know what to expect in terms of hardware (they make it) and can code more accurately to that than, say, Adobe can code to Premiere. (Obviously Avid would be similar to Apple and thus not a counter example).

I love the anti-phising stuff. I also hope they include built in anti-virus and anti-spyware. I know there isn't much of either for the Mac but it would be great for marketing and the day when something bad does appear.
Almost exactly what I was going to say.
Those screenshots don't look fake at all. Then again I'm sure any good designer could do that no problem.

I've owned every iPhone, and every new iPhone running X.0, runs beautifully, only to be slowed down and negatively effected by every single interim update.
The explain to us, why are you still updating? Incremental updates are usually not worth the trouble.

So what do you guys think about this:
My girlfriend's babysitt-ee kicked her 3GS in the bathtub a few months ago and she's been using a 2G, original iPhone ever since, and was hoping that she could get a white iP5 this summer. So now she's pretty excited about a white iP4 coming out, and would be ok with getting it if it weren't for the uncertainty about the release of the iP5 (I guess I've made her into a refresh-watcher).
She's eligible for an upgrade and would definitely do so if the iP5 is going to be pushed later in the year rather than the summer (she can't wait to stop using the old iPhone). What do people think? Take the chance and get the white 4?

Oh, and to answer the criticism that you think this doesn't make sense: Wikipedia is:
- Continually peer reviewed.
- Comprised of contributions usually written by experts in their field
- Constantly monitored by people looking for incorrect modifications to pages they've added.
There's also the discussion, in which you can participate or just read, which can be useful particularly when reading disputed articles that may carry a bias (like politics)... Also, for certain articles, only registered users are allowed to edit content to prevent vandalism. Overall, I think they succeeded in building an almost "self-supporting" system. And no, I'm not afraid of some nasty orwellian scenario, as my sig. could lead you to think :p
You can't rely on either as a definitive source, but objectively Wikipedia is a more useful starting point than the EB, and it's certainly fair to point someone its direction if you believe the article to be largely accurate and if it contains links that'll allow a reader to research further.
Although this approach may lead to inaccurate external material creeping into an otherwise reliable source, I've found that on some potentially obscure subjects (namely the conspiracy theories around the 9/11/73 military coup in Chile and the 9/11/01 attacks, about which I had to make an essay and design a 4-page newspaper-like brochure), the various angles and theories are explored, explained, and linked to. It's up to you to believe the sources, since they are usually so diverse in nature and opinion, just as, say, in "real life" (a.k.a. god-awful-google, which really sucks for serious on-line research), only they are partially digested for you to use them as a starting point, like peharri pointed out.

** How much is that warranty?
I'm not 100% sure of the retail cost because I have an employee discount applied to mine. I think it is about 14 dollars a month.

10.6 is very decent but there are a couple of minor things that would make me very happy; being able to password protect individual folders
A reasonable list as these things go. To protect a folder either Get Info the folder and Set Privileges for others to No Access or make a password protected disk image (in Disk utility). The latter seems like too much work to me but then I really don't have anything to protect.

I posted this somewhere else, but here it is again. That page is fake. They take screen caps of the easy to photoshop features, yet just tell us the iChat interface is "different". Right.
FAKE.

I have many reasons why I don't like them and their religion. First and foremost is because of the fact that Israel and its "nazi-like zionist army" have committed crimes against humanity.. Killing innocent Palestinian men, women, and children just for being Palestinian. Israel is doing exactly what the nations of Eastern Europe did to the Jewish populations there in WWII.
2ndly, there is a strong parallel between Zionism and Nazism and also racism. If anything Zionism is the root cause for why this race is hated in the world. Their religion also teaches to not associate with Gentiles and others.. In case you don't believe me, look up the BABYLONIAN TALMUD and how racist and perverted it is.
Israel cares about no one, and the foolish idiots here in this "dying" country called America(dying b/c of economy and debt) are still supporting them.. I say, if you support the killing, apartheid machine then you are supporting the destruction of a race of people, namely the Palestinians.
For those ignorant of or not really learning about the true nature of the government of Israel let me refresh your mind a bit.. If those monsters had their way without Obama, they would finish the job.. Obama and the world had urged and forced Israel to stop building settlements, but yet they still do.
Remember, its simple mathematics. The Jews number today 13 million and this number is drastically reducing because of the large intermarriage rate and Jews who try to assimilate to be like everyone else. Judaism as a religion is dying as we can see.. I am happy there are Jews out there who are seeing the light that Judaism and Zionism are failures and that Israel has FAILED to help anyone or anything..
I could go on and on, but I think I will stop here.. but I leave this on one note: So long as Israel exists, there will be future problems in the future for the US and the world.. I pray one day that Palestine becomes a reality and finally the freedom of the Palestinians is realized.
Joshuarocks, I hope you enjoyed your time here in the PRSI.
