I use Matrox cards. I never understood why some seem to think, "IF 3-D acceleration isn't a priority, THEN 2-D probably isn't, either."
OWC's drives come pre-formatted in the Mac file system.

Where the hell did you read Apple ANYWHERE in that article??
At the long end of the zoom, f/5.6 is two stops slower than serious shooters prefer and four stops slower than the best primes of that focal length. Not a problem if you're shooting landscapes, but don't try using that focal length to capture movement or shoot in available darkness.
Yeah, but can it perform a robotic breast massage, like this?

I've fitted my HTC/Verizon 6800 (aka Sprint Mogul) with a Seido 3600mAh battery, which comes with an extra-deep replacement bezel. It lets me connect my WiFi laptop to the Net all-day using WMWiFiRouter.
Sometimes my PC will freeze as I'm watching a Netflix movie on demand. When I restart the browser, the movie resumes where I left off. (I dunno if the film would resume if I restart the PC.) Why wouldn't this work on an iPhone?

On the contrary: If someone has overstretched his budget or exhausted his savings to buy a MBP with a 500GB 7200rpm drive, he may have nothing left to splurge on a solid-state drive. Shinigami and digitallysick remind me of the parents who scold their bladder-challenged child with the twisted logic, "If you could hold it in for 2 hours, you can hold it in another 20 minutes." Who is more able to hold his pee for another 20 minutes: Someone whose bladder is already full, or someone whose bladder has just been emptied?

Also, the MBP 13 costs less than the old unibody MacBook 13.

And no, I don't own a MacBook anything.
Congratulations, George: You're the first person on ANY forum to call me a troll. It's a curious call, given that I haven't named other brands...and one of the two displays that reach 2048x1152 is Dell's own SP2309W. My point is that for bargain hunters, 2.3 million pixels is the sweet spot, the largest resolution for which each million pixels costs just U.S. $100. At the next resolution up--4.1 million pixels (2560x1600)--you'll pay $200 to $350 for each million pixels.
When $250 will buy you the expansive productivity of 2.3+ million pixels (1920x1200 or 2048x1152), why settle for 1.4 million (1600x900), a desktop that's 38% smaller? Heck, I get 1.7 million (1680x1050) on my 15.4-inch ThinkPad.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
