Hardware is obsolete in 6 months... its not about the hardware specs.  That's not what we buy.  Apple has always maintained that they are a SOFTWARE company.  Apple gets elegant software. The iPhone is a paper weight without it's UI.  Period. Is it worth twice the price?  In my line of work (video) when the difference between my son eating and not eating is a stable system... yes it is.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Young Luck]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 27th 2009 12:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apple quietly updates $999 MacBook, again -- goes back to school with free iPod touch]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/apple-quietly-updates-999-macbook-again-goes-back-to-school/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/apple-quietly-updates-999-macbook-again-goes-back-to-school/</guid><description><![CDATA[@jonshipman<br><br>Funny, the only desktops we have in the office that actually have (or need) more then 2 gigs of memory are the ones running OSX and they're not even used for graphic design, video editting or run VM's.

I dont know anybody whose shell hasn´t cracked. For some reason Apple´s plastic tends to crack rather fast in the low end models compared to other laptops and not to mention they sometimes tend to become seriously warm.<br>I would prefer to see just a metal casing (unibody or not... who cares) and if you like white just powercoat it white, heck you could even toss in a color line by doing so. I do wonder why the upgrade is so minimal, maybe this has todo with the fact they tend to get seriously warm?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JZ]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 27th 2009 7:14AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apple quietly updates $999 MacBook, again -- goes back to school with free iPod touch]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/apple-quietly-updates-999-macbook-again-goes-back-to-school/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/apple-quietly-updates-999-macbook-again-goes-back-to-school/</guid><description><![CDATA[They only still make it because it's cheap, why would they make it more expensive by putting new parts in?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ethan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 27th 2009 7:19AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apple quietly updates $999 MacBook, again -- goes back to school with free iPod touch]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/apple-quietly-updates-999-macbook-again-goes-back-to-school/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/apple-quietly-updates-999-macbook-again-goes-back-to-school/</guid><description><![CDATA[My plastic MacBook cracked in an insignificant location (under the right wrist rest) after about a year of use, but I took a bad fall a few months after that (slipped on ice, landed on my butt and the machine) that crushed the CD drive opening.
