What they're not saying is this is really the next-gen iMac running Windows via Bootcamp. Samsung does manufacture many things for Apple. This just happens to be the next big thing. pun intended.

I think this would be a great opportunity to expose normal non-tech savyy people to the wonder that is Feisty Fawn. Dell should sell the Linux and Windows versions both in Wal-Mart, and actually (oh no, no that) advertise the Linux systems! God forbid the average Joe realizes that there's a third major contender in the world of OS's. It doesn't have to be Mac or PC (but definitely shouldn't be PC), it can be Linux too. And Dell makes some pretty decent hardware too for the most part.

But will any of that happen?

No. The Wal Mart has spoken, and so it shall be.

If this works, what will production costs be? Will it act like plaster/drywall or would you still have to put plaster/drywall over the material? If this stuff turns out to be semi-affordable and still look good, we could see a massive overhaul in the materials used to construct homes.

"Remember remember the fifth of November." V from V for Vendetta. Pick it up or (oh no not that!) download it. It's worth purchasing though.

I believe this is the grandest irony I've seen this week. First off, it is three ugly as sin products: Zune, JBL(they sound nice but come on, can car audio get more plain?) and the toyota FJ Cruiser. They are all trying to look cool driving in front of a NY club at 3 in the morning with music blaring. The song that was playing was "I'm Bringing Sexy Back" by Justin Timberlake. Three very unsexy products being very unsexily loud. It's like those three creepy geeky dudes that were always friends with all your girlfriends because they are "sweet" getting in a car and blaring horrible and ironic music just to piss you off. If I lived there, I'd be out for legal blood.

Talk about Microsoft being desparate. You make Operating Systems(poorly) and XBOX 360's(wonderfully), stick to those. Leave MP3 players to Sansa, Apple, Samsung, Sennheiser, iRiver or hell, anyone but you.

The reason Apple is filing patents like this is because they would like to save room on the base of the laptop and add other features. (Like maybe more ports!) I believe that the best solution to this would be to figure out a way to put their already amazing slot-load drive into the side of the screen. Now I know that this would require some major thinning of the drive/mechanism itself, but it would be more than worth it if whatever company makes their drives figures out how to pull it off. Not only would it look cool, it would allow for more space in the base of the computer for more ports, also it would be yet another Apple first.

Whoa, considering that ActiveX controls are an active part of what most teenagers and young adults do on the internet in America (not to mention virtually all online banking and shopping), maybe America should come out with the same advisories. But that will never happen. You know why? Microsoft Lobbyists.

I don't have an apple yet, but I am purchasing a macbook pro 2.16 Ghz Core 2 Duo with my student discount for around 1800 and some with tax. Whoops. Make that 1802 and some with tax. Out of curiosity I did a comparison b/t apple's pricing and the big three (Dell, Sony and HP) PC Notebook makers. I listed the macbook pro features and went hunting. The average price for something with similar features but without the added benefits of only being an inch thick or having (Oh God not that!) a stable OS, was anywhere from 2500 - 3000+ dollars. Also other than like one company (I forget which one exactly) no one had a processor speed past 2.0 Ghz in the form of a core 2 duo. Imagine if apple went into the business of making laptops that are not as rich in features (maybe a macbook lite in the future? hint hint, Steve. Now that would be truly competing with the microsoft companies) That being said, Microsoft would most likely charge 5 to 10 dollars for the 802.11N upgrade.



Challenge to those reading this:
Find a PC Notebook for under 1200 that contains an Intel Core 2 Duo.

Also lets start writing letters to Steve telling him that a MacBook lite like something with a centrino duo (remember those?)in it or something. Let's bring macs to the majority of the PC demographic. The MacMini is a start but average consumers aren't fond of having to purchase their own keyboard, mouse and moniter.

He's dead, you moron. If the monkey did an ad for the PS3, people would freak. A monkey sells, but a dead monkey just creeps people out.

I think Jeff's (see comment page 3) attitude sounds very similar if not identical to that of us apple fanboys when Zune was released. The difference: we were complaining something that was final. You are moaning about something that is definitely not final other than price and design. Also go watch the keynote on Apple.com. The entire time he's using it there is not one fingerprint. Not one!!!
