Blizzard seems to me to be the only company that does it right. And for the past few years there has always been a synchronous release with Mac and PC versions and patches. Cider may be a holy grail, but is as yet unproven.

The glare is so bad in one of the photos that you cannot even see the screen to the left at all...all I see is a reflection of a person's face. Argh! This tells me that this model is clearly meant for media viewing, as any of us wanting remotely …

I am actually somewhat disappointed in the design and the inability to specify a non-glossy screen. The MacBook we have here is very difficult to see under fluorescent lighting conditions. I purposefully got a MacBook Pro so that I could get a "n…

I can confirm an unsually high number of iBook G4 failures in our school district. The sounds like a manufacturing defect and Apple should take responsibility for the quality of their products. One thing I learned from these failures is to alw…

AppleInsider, I am really interested to know what the details of the settlement were. Since Apple Inc now has about a bazillion bucks in the bank, I bet it involved the exchange of many, many greenbacks. I agree with the earlier comment about phy…

I have a MacBook that was purchased July 1. It also has the Random Shutdown problem. One day in particular it shutdown about 5 times in a row, rendering the system unusable. I got this machine primarily for teaching workshops and to run Windows a…
