It looks like Apple got sick of the scratch complaints and went back to the Mini design. Odd that Apple would take a step back on the design front. Of course I always thought the Nanos were boring anyway, so maybe now this will give me an incentive to get one.
And let the "I have to pay how much extra for black" complaints begin...
At least you get 8GB instead of four. You don't pay that extra just for the color. The 50$ difference for that extra 4GB capacity is reasonable compared to the 200$ for 80GB instead of 60GB on the Macbook especially since you can upgrade the white macbook to 80GB for 50$. So the Macbook is actually 150$ for the color while the nano is 50$ for the color and the capacity.

Safe predictions for the MB C2D:
2.16 GHz for the upper two models, 2.0 for the cheapest
~20MB larger hard drive
no difference in GPU
runs significantly cooler overall
Riskier bets:
1GB standard (but as two 512MB cards, unlike the MBP)
Price premium for black reduced to $100
godly.....20MB increase in hd! thats like 4 mp3s?

There is also a mode that Bungie created called "Gruntpocalypse" where it is nothing but waves and waves of Grunts, with the "Grunt Birthday Party" skull turned on. It sounds very basic, but killing hundreds of Grunts, the confetti popping out of their heads, and hearing the kids cheer YAAAAYY every time you headshot them just never gets old. :D
Gotta check this mode out, sounds like fun. I asked this before but its been awhile, has anyone beat it on legendary yet? I am going to go through it anyway but i was just wondering.

The day that Steve Jobs tells me I have to use iTunes to purchase software for my laptop or desktop, or that I can't install what I want or how I want it on my personal computer I give him the big middle finger and switch to Linux or Windows.
I already think it's ridiculous that I have to jailbreak my iPhone every 6months or so - but if the day comes that you'll have to jailbreak your comp, thanks but no thanks. I'll give up convenience for freedom.

Not particularly thrilled about these, I thought I would be pissed when the C2D MacBooks came out, but the only thing worth it to me is the hardrive otherwise I'll stick with my Core Duo MacBook :).
(Of course, day by day those C2D MacBook Pros are looking more and more enticing...)

Inaccurate title it's not the whole laptop only batteries here is the link to apple's website for the recall. http://www.apple.com/support/batteryexchange/faq/
When I go there, it says "These batteries were manufactured by LG Chem, Ltd. of South Korea." Is LG related to Sony? Or, is this a different older recall?

I have a 12" PowerBook and when I saw the new 13" MacBook, there is no comparison, Why are people waiting for a 12" ? Have you even seen the 13"?
it's a widescreen unlike the PB12... keep waiting, but it is not going to happen.
Anyhow, I have been waiting awhile for this upgrade, the store has been offline forever!!! Hurry apple.. My wallet is itching for one in black!!!
wahoooooo

I think in the end, if the iPhone 5 arrives around October I expect to have the following features:
1) Will look like an 4G iPod touch but thicker to accommodate larger battery, cellphone circuitry, cellphone antenna and the five-megapixel back image sensor.
2) Display will be 4.0" (diagonal) IPS LCD touchscreen.
3) Will use A5 CPU/GPU with 512 MB of RAM, though 1 GB of RAM is possible.
4) Flash memory storage in 16, 32 and 64 GB capacities.
5) Will use next-generation Qualcomm or Broadcom cellphone chipset that supports GSM, CDMA or LTE. Will include micro SIM slot for GSM usage.
6) Antenna will be completely redesigned to avoid potential "dead spots" when held in a certain manner.
7) Will include for first time near-field communications (NFC) communications capability, and will likely support the Sony-developed FeliCa NFC standard so it can be easily used in Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong.
8) Will use iOS 5.0, which will come out the same time as the iPhone 5.

I agree with you there is just something about the 13" MacBook that doesn't fit but the 12" its PERFECT
Agreed. I love my 12" so much I fondle it every night before bedtime, much to my boyfriend's chagrin. I surf the web in bed before sleepy-time. It keeps him awake.

Any 3D technology that relies on both eyes being perfectly stereo aligned is not a good technology. Anyone with a slightly lazy eye will get dizzy and experience headaches, for people like me who can see only slightly with one eye it becomes a huge problem triggering migraines. Also, any children under 18 (I think it's 18) should not be looking at 3D as they can become adversely affected later in life due to the unnatural perspective vs viewing distance.
I also think 3D would just die, but we have marketeers that just won't leave the subject alone.
If Apple does do 3D, I think it will be the head tracking kind, which should effectively be called "motion aware" or "perspective aware" instead of 3D.

Hm. My older PB didn't fall into the 2005 recall, I wonder if it would fall under this current recall.
My iBook's battery does though. Sigh. Guess I'lll try to fill out that online form...
:Edit: Okay, looks like another Apple-side boo-boo. The battery's serial falls into the recall range but the site won't acknowledge it. Argh.

Am I the only one who thinks the multiplayer stinks? (team slayer) :o
There's no guns to switch, the jet pack is a total crap I'll just fly around and you can't shoot me and you can't kill me because there is no rocket launcher or laser. Am I missing something?

I hate car analogies but yeah a $50K Lexus is better than a $20K GM, but for some people it is not and will never be worth 2-3x the cost. Some people don't need or want to pay the premium for a car that can parallel park itself or rear heated seats! ;-) Lexus has a cap on what their marketshare could be no matter how great their product is which was my original point about Apple.
The difference is that a $50K Lexus costs more than forty times more than a 13" MacBook Pro. This discussion was about whether Apple is limited by being "affordable". There are lots of people who _cannot_ buy the Lexus. But everyone who buys the $20K GM can easily buy a 13" MBP which costs just 6 percent of the GM.
Yes, there will always be people who decide to buy a cheaper computer. What I am saying is that there are very few people who _cannot_ buy a Macintosh, as is claimed so often. And those who decide to buy cheap, they should think about how you get the best value for your money: You buy something of quality, without any unneeded luxuries that just waste money, and then you look after it.

Hmm, support of the standards on one hand (see Adobe apps in the Itunes store) and criticism on the other.
The only thing they failed to do is provide a call to action. There is neither a link to Adobe or Apple. They are expecting that people actually care enough about the product that they will search out a way to provide feedback on the topic to the appropriate powers that be.
If they are serious about making it a cause then they need to do something radical. Pull all of their products from the store, even if it is only temporary. Otherwise, it's just talk.

wal-mart is acting like a spoiled little brat. thair all upset because apple is getting a better price and are taking it to the heart. like their being uses or something? "how dare those movie studios use somenbody! it's not like wal-mart ever us.... oh wait... thats right their wal-mart." but seriously though ofcourse it's cheaper! it's digital content! i.e. no physical product to ship or package or store ( other that data on server ). wal-mart..... your evil. stop crying when you don't get your way.

I wouldn't get the black. I had one, and it looked great fresh from the box, but looked old and tired 30 minutes later with grease marks all over it. Stick with the white as the smooth plastic finish doesn't show marks and is easier to clean.
That's the problem. There's no way I'm having a white laptop.

Doesn't most of the internet use flash?
Not on mobile devices...
I would not feel so strongly about this if Adobe could write a stable, fast, less vulnerable version of flash for the Mac.
However as of today Adobe has shown they could give a rats ass about Apple and Flash is proof. It is buggy, it crashes a lot, even with hardware acceleration it is still a cpu hog and it seems every time I turn around another security exploit has been found.
Apple please keep Flash off of your iOS products and keep moving forward with html5.

We covered this earlier. That was the conventional wisdom, but it has turned out to be 180� wrong.
