MobileMe (Steve Jobs wanna be and personal Apple evangelist) should have a field day or mental breakdown with how Google is now the anti christ and more evil than Microsoft if that is even possible in his eyes...
I've always said that besides search GOOGLE & it's CEO are trash in my eyes. They're worst then MS cause they are becoming the role of Big brother IMO. MS just has a tasteless OS and software overall & are thieves. That's beside the point, Google is spreading itself into many markets that Apple is in, to try and do an All ad supported software, which nobody wants. It's bad enough I need to see an Ad before I can watch clips nowadays.
Google maps is nothing really special either (Apple) realizes this and from last I heard will be developing it's own in-house Map App.
Apple still innovates still today (i.e: The Worlds 1st Multi-touch mouse). Googles innovations ZERO right?.... And if you say " ohhh big deal magic mouse" then you obviously don't understand what time & effort, that our Apple engineers go through to deliver such a product. Apple = Quality and sales prove that.
The Roaches who come out to bash Apple sales always get squashed when they report such insanely great numbers. Though just like roaches, squash one and out comes another.
Which is a shame since Apple doesn't offer a 17" display, and it is hard to find a decent looking display that deserves to sit on my desk
17" displays are bargain bin these days. at work they bought us 23" LCD's for less than $200 each and the quality is pretty good. not ACD quality but they are very good
Google to buy Yelp? A couple Million here, a Couple Million There buys a lot of really smart people.

AI really needs to add a second shift. This is already old news on the rest of the tech blogs. I'm kind of thinking they opened their check book a little earlier than Apple but time will tell. Apple really needs their own mapping solution and it appears Google is buying all the options.
Techcrunch hears that Google is in advanced talks to buy Yelp (supposedly for $500 million), and that the deal, while not finalized, is very close to that stage. This could be a huge boon for Google's mapping and mobile efforts.
This is a little bit odd because Google already has Places, which is a fairly similar (and actually quite good) service to Yelp—but Yelp is the biggest crowdsourced directory out there, and intimate mingling with Maps could make it all the more powerful. This is unconfirmed as of now, but we'll keep you updated if we hear anything else. [TechCrunch]

Sure it will, but your focused just solely on screen size ( 17" ) so Apple has a solution for you. A 17" MBP. You can stop wishing for a screen that already exist, and it can be used at your desk or while on the go
Good post! That one even got Cranky laughing. Loving my 27-inch i7 even when it's off.
I assumed that anyone with a glossy iMac would know what I meant because at a viewing distance of 2 feet reflections are clearly visible even with the display at its factory brightness setting and a web page with a mostly WHITE background on the screen. Are you honestly trying to tell us that you can't see those reflections? Wow, blindness is far more prevalent than I thought.
2) Could you not tell I was joking or simply felt the joke was so bad that you felt a personal attack was the most appropriate response?
I honestly don't believe anyone who says they can't see reflections of high contrast items at a distance less than 3 feet.
Having said that I've had a lot to drink tonight (office Christmas party) and shouldn't have responded in such a personal way. I apologize for the name calling. It won't happen again.

You know you can 1) change the factory brightness (I keep mine at full brightness) and 2) prevent stronger light from your background overpowering the light from your Mac. I never have a problem with glare but I tend to prefer to find solutions to problend instead of complaining for the sake of complaining.
You do have options. Besides the option already mentioned above, some are as simple as an anti-glare screen or more radical, but effective, like removing the glass panel which is only held on by magnets. Sure, the display is glossy, too, but not nearly as reflective as the glass panel. And, sure, it ain't pretty but why does it have to be if it's effective. Maybe you can find an anti-glare film that is large enough to cover the entire iMac panel area so you can cut and adhere it so it looks clean.

The biggest thing you have to accept when buying Apple is compromise. The product range is so narrow that you either have to spend more than you want to get the spec/computer that you need, or spend the amount of money you want, and accept that it'll be slower than you'd like.

Our product range is actually very profitable and again much better for the consumer and very competitive if not better then the competitor.
Apple is not a Wal-Mart, if you enjoy a much broader product range then Dell, Sony, HP etc will have the Wal-Mart experience you seek.

They do. $599 for a Mac Mini and the 17" monitor of your choice.

Buy a 17"inch Macbook Pro. You get the power of a desktop in a 17" mobile form factor. A dedicated 17" only display, Not that big of a deal.

17" MacBook Pro money would get me a 27" iMac.

One common solution is to that problem is to turn the machine on.
You're a moron. The screen was on a default brightness with an almost completely WHITE background.
If you can't see reflections of high contrast items when you're sitting close to a glossy iMac then you're blind.

Apple's "compromise" is actually better for the consumers.
Our product range is actually very profitable and again much better for the consumer and very competitive if not better then the competitor.
Apple is not a Wal-Mart, if you enjoy a much broader product range then Dell, Sony, HP etc will have the Wal-Mart experience you seek.

Wow, what an accurate description of how it's not a compromise
