Plenty of people buy Macs for the hardware. If I needed a laptop right now to run Windows and nothing else, then obviously I would have to check whether I am mentally capable of using Windows for any length of time without throwing the laptop out of the window, but once I've found the strength to do that, the 13" MBP or one of the MBAs are probably the least miserable way to run Windows.
Of course, if you are praying every day that your laptop breaks down because you have to use Windows, then a MacBook is not for you.
Even the reviewers have acknowledge that Windows runs better on Mac hardware due to the tight coupling between the hardware and the device drivers that Apple includes.

I am glad to see someone else is a little confused and it wasn't just me. I have seen the 1.1 and 1.8, but not the 1.3 million batteries. I just want to know which number it really is.
From engadget
"Apple has just recalled 1.8 million iBook and PowerBook laptop batteries, 1.1 million of those in the US and 700,000 abroad"

IRONIC as facebook could clearly benefit themselves on a more strict app approval system. There's so much spam on there these days. People's accounts getting hacked, sending messages with trojan links to everyone.
And the iPhone app itself pretty much sucks anyway so a new developer would be a good thing
Yes, thank you for pretty much explaining the irony.
Facebook is currently a mess. People on my feed complain about changes every day and several had their accounts hacked into and were sending those viruses out. One day, I could only use Firefox to sign into Facebook. Safari wouldn't work at all. The next day, Facebook fixed it, but still, that's pretty bad.
Therefor, I'm glad Apple is being tough on Facebook.
Who the hell would want all those problems on their iPhone too?
I'm not defending the Apple submission process by the way.
Obviously, it has some issues, but I'm going to take Apple's side on this one considering how many problems Facebook has had recently.

"something in the air" best be referring to my new MBP.
Either that or it's Phil Collins coming to iTunes. :)
Hmm..
MacBook Air (subnotebook, as in light as...)
MacBook Pro Air Edition.

Keep in mind Toys R' Us does not support the US Constitution, specifically the 2nd Amendment. While they are a private business and can say what is or isn't permitted in their stores, I will not patronize businesses that infringe upon my rights as an American citizen.

Whats a guess on price for a fully loaded 23' Imac ?
Unless it contains features that are superior to the 20" iMac (i.e. faster processor, dual hard drives, more ram slots, better video card options), I'd hope for a 2099 release price (or a 100-dollar drop on all iMacs, and a 1999 price).
Didn't they do this last year too?
In september they had an event for the itunes phone, and nanos. then in october they had another event for the 5g ipod and the imac?
Yup - although that phone was crapper...

Ultimate usage of my Apple stuff: iPad as excellent calculator during making my homework for math, in a perfect viewing angle thanks the Apple iPad case (I own since today, excellent case). MBP used as music player for the relaxing during making homework thanks to iTunes. iPhone used as camera. Love my Apple stuff!

They don't have my money yet.;)
But not because they aren't the fastest thing around, I don't want that right now, I want a Cube and you know that's not going to be the fastest thing out there, It's going to be the fastest thing out there in an 8-inch cube.:p
Personally, I don't need a lot of speed and power right now, but I'm really getting into multimedia stuff (mostly animated GIFs now, but that's just the beginning) and most people don't need that kind of power, 800Mhz should be enough for the avererage user but if you're going to be doing some serious multimedia work, then you need all the speed you can get and that's my issue.
Who do we have to blame for the lack in speed at the moment?
I never said that their strategy is flawed, after all, Apple's goal shouldn't be to defeat Intel or Microsoft, it should be the best and fastest at what they do and right now, they're not.
Photoshop will run faster on a top of the line PIV than a top of the line Mac.
Plus, 3Ghz looks a helluva lot faster than dual 1.25 Ghz no matter how little the difference in performance may be.
Like it or not, that's how the PC world thinks.
In Ghz.
And that's where Apple is falling behind.
They have an OS that's at least 10 years ahead of anything else out there, top of the line multimedia apps for the consumer and pro user and well-integrated hardware and software, but they are falling behind in the speed department and that's going to hurt both their marketshare and their image and how a companies products look is what people first see when they're shopping around for a new computer and now Apple's don't look like the best deal out there.

Wow, I'm a rich company? And all this time I was thinking I'm a poor art school graduate! Gee, I wonder if I qualify for corporate welfare? I mean, I've bought MBP's and PowerBooks since they first came out...

HTC and LG have the factory space to try and compete, so they do.
Nintendo makes products for 6 year old girls.
Apple is not interested in what is today known as "3D" which is just two out of focus images hurting your eyes.
Thank you for mentioning the "3D" issue.
It gives people head aches and I feel really ripped off at the movie theaters, when they charge for these glasses, that you theoretically could keep and use again and again etc.
But...........we know why they $ell them.

There is a very good article in the latest Popular Science (just got it in the mail two days ago -- I assume it is Nov-2002 issue -- when I get home, I'll verify).
The article discusses everything you guys are talking about.
It shows, very clearly, how Mhz and Ghz for benchmarking is not a good idea - it compares AMD to Intel, then throws the PowerPC into the mix.
It's definitely worth a read.

if they're not too pricey i might have to update, although they're gonna have to have more power than the II's, there's a piddly amount of wattage in the sub.
Doesn't look like they're worth upgrading to from the SoundSticks II.
Here's Harman Kardon page for them:

What do people really expect to see refreshed in an iPod Classic? Retina Display? App store for click wheel games? Wifi for Pandora?
Those new Toshiba drives would boost the iPod Classic to 220GB. I'm thinking they'll wait until September to reveal them.
