  • Recording and editing music. A little image processing and site creation. The usual stuff...email, browsing, warehousing Grateful Dead SHNs.
  • Vista has been delayed because much of the team has been reallocated onto the OS X Virus Deployment Team.
  • Quote: Originally posted by Splinemodel Gentlemen. . . I know that the Nano is thin and all, but this design is impossible for the time being, and perhaps the next decade. Displays just aren't that thin yet, and there are problems with using met…
  • Quote: Originally posted by user23 I feel your posts lower the rather high IQ of AI. Thanks
  • Quote: Originally posted by user23 Oh please are there ANY posts of your, netdog, which don't reek of arrogance? It's tiring reading threads which *could* be cool, only to see you subtly, or not-so-subtly, belittle anyone who debates with…
  • Now you're talking like a problem solver Get this man a job at Apple. I don't know about you, but I couldn't have been much more disappointed than I was in the Motorola iTunes phone. Then again, even though I used a Motorola know, I have to…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Nordstrodamus First, some sensible stuff- IMO, the screen must have/be... 1. long battery life 2. relatively cheap (that's why I proposed the MacBook line) with cost prioritized over keyboard, optical disc, and …
  • Quote: Originally posted by mattyj Ok, say you can use it without dislocating your thumbs and forefinger and the spring mechanism magically worked both ways, why change the form factor at all? Does it really bring new functionality that no flip p…
  • Some will love it. Some won't. Not a reflection on either.
  • I would simply love to see the MacBook unexpectedly make its first appearance while we are sitting around watching Desperate Housewives or some such silliness. Now that would be great TV.
  • Quote: Originally posted by mattyj There's a reason why no phone company (or if one has been made like it, it hasn't sold well) makes a phone like this. I'll leave it at that. Your arrogance is not becoming. I am not sure that I would poin…
  • Quote: Originally posted by mattyj Well consider this, hold a phone normally... The back of the phone rests on your palm. Even if it had a sprung mechanism that opened slowly, the two squares would arch back into your hand, can you not see it? I'…
  • I can, however, imagine that one might close it by squeezing both wings between the thumb and forefingers...though that would depend at least in part on the size of the unit, which is tough to judge here. Heck, you find it clumsy and I find it be…
  • Quote: Originally posted by mattyj How exactly would you open it with one hand then? Enlighten me. Okay, here is just one way. One button release spring loaded with resistance, giving a smooth and gentle opening with some stability. The…
  • Quote: Originally posted by mattyj I wouldn't. Point is Apple would never make something so clumsy. Two hand operation to open it? Can you not see that, or has the "cool slick advertising" won you over? And who says it takes two hands to …
  • Quote: Originally posted by mattyj It's completely un-ergonomic. So don't buy one. I disagree by the way, but that's okay.
  • Quote: Originally posted by bikertwin Me, too. Which is why this device is not a desktop or notebook replacement. It's an accessory for browsing & viewing, with only occasional data entry (or hook up a wireless keyboard at your desk or someth…
  • I really enjoy the flashing Apple for the ringer. Consistent with Apple or not, I wish they would make it. As for having to unfold it to dial (though probably not to speak), I think I can handle that okay. This is the most beautiful piece of port…
  • Okay, for the thread police, how about this... Gee, I wonder if the FUTURE MacBooks will be featured in the new Mac ads. Now stand down deptuties.
