Now that Apple has consolidated the portable line on Intel C2D processors, the line between the pro and consumer models are diminished. Perhaps Apple should combine the two lines into one with 4 models across the line, employing an updated MB enclosure.

No, Apple is a hardware company that develops the OS that runs on its hardware.
How about this? Apple is an ecosystem company. Their business model depends on the user experience being sound, solid and pleasant. Trusting the core OS or the hardware to other companies makes it difficult to guarantee that sound, solid, pleasant experience. Their hardware business relies on their software business, which relies on their hardware business. Without one, the other doesn't work. Fostering software developers is their way of maintaining relevance (and these days, dominance).
They handle the hardware part with hard nosed and shrewd business practices, such as locking up long term contracts for displays, etc.

I hate subscription models almost as much as I do data caps.
So buy the full version outright and get data plans with no caps. That's the beauty of a free market - you get to decide what you want and if the cost is worth it.

Apple has never changed this policy and they never will.
I would have liked to see the promised updates for Facebook. It seems Apple may have fallen down on the job (no pun intended).

So, the way it is now, you buy Photoshop for around $650 and after 18 months you can upgrade for $190. Total: $840 for 36 months, plus you still have your software to use for as long as you want if you choose not to upgrade anymore...
So, $35 x 36 months = $1260 and after the 36 months finnish, you have nothing... :confused:
I don't see a big advantage here, unless you only use photoshop in a few projects a year... I don't know anyone who does that, tho...

Do we have to shut down our computer before removing the battery?
thanks! :)
Nope, you don't need to shut down before removing the battery.
I was just thinking of this
So you can't take any liquids on an airplane but you can bring your exploding Dell laptop? :)

A crap camera will never take a great picture, despite the hands it is in. It might take something vaguely enigmatic on some level, but with bad lens, inability to capture colors, or faulty mechanics/electronic, it will be nothing more than a crippling piece of equipment.
A good photographer can frame, layer, focus the subject, and compose well. Yes, you don't need a "good" camera for those qualities, but you need a well-creafted camera to back up and improve on the photographer's skills.
Sorry to say, but your are mistaken. People have been taking phenomenal photos without the cameras sold today. Cameras of yesterday were not as accurate nor precise as they are today, yet incredible photos have been taken for quite some time. How is that?

it seems that there is no longer an option for the "matte" screen, only the glossy one.
also, and this is a guess, the new airport cards are the same as the pre-n ones found in recent MBPs and iMacs.

I have been told a number of times that in reality wages do not make any significant different to actual product cost.
It's simple to understand really.
If you have 1 guy who is standing, running a high tech machine that's turning out say 100 items per hour and those items are worth $20 each.
So that's $2000 per hour this unit (man and machine) are creating.
If you pay the guy $1 for this hour, or $20 for this hour. Yes, one it being paid 20 times as much as the other. But in reality, this cost it very little when put against the value of the items that are being created during this time period.

In a word, no. I've seen the demonstrations on the Internet about how you can find another person using a Zune and give them a song they can play three times. It takes forever. By the time you've gone through all that, the girl's got up and left! You're much better off to take one of your earbuds out and put it in her ear. Then you're connected with about two feet of headphone cable.
So in other words. With Zune you can share music wirelessly. With an iPod you can increase the chances of getting to the next base! That is a great feature!

I like your 'games' point but not so sure about your other claims.
Did you mean that Windows buyers ARE more techno-savvy?
Or that Techno-Savvy types tend to avoid Macs?
The average buyer today is less tech-savvy. 10 years ago, soccer moms and hipsters didn't own laptops. Those who actually had email accounts or myspace pages would use the family desktop computer or a machine in a computer lab.
Today, your grandmother has a facebook page and a yahoo/hotmail/gmail account and probably has her own laptop.
Higher Prices for Better Machines.
Fantastic designs are not cheap. And Apple never skimps on Components
Quality Windows PCs cost about the Same as Macs but don't have iLife.
Actually, Apple does skimp on components. They charge more for the same hardware that PC manufacturers use, and Macs are never at the bleeding edge of hardware tech (probably because their profit margins would disappear due to price pressures)[/quote]
You think a Mom or kid wouldn't think the Mac OS is more attractive and easier to use?
You say "People telling them Macs are good" but are not clear why they do tell them that. Are Macs really good or is "All marketing"?
More attractive? Maybe not anymore... Windows 7 has made pretty big strides in terms of UI. There isn't much wrong with Mac as a computing platform, but lets be honest here.... Mac's strength as a computing platform is *not* what is propping up their sales. PC's still do it cheaper and just as easily (if not easier) for 90% of the tasks a typical user undertakes.
'Cool'
What does that mean? Is it just another word for 'Trendy'?
How did Macs get to be cool or trendy?
I always defined cool as 'being comfortable being yourself'
Are you serious? Maybe you're new here? Apple fans are 2 steps shy of being brainwashed cult members and its no secret to anyone that Apple's hype/marketing department is probably the strongest weapon in their arsenal. They are very adept at pushing their products.
Finally, why does every switcher I meet have the same expression on their face. They all look relieved, like we have just pulled them into the life boat.
Cool may get you to buy something but it can't make you LOVE something.
So why do Mac users LOVE their machines so much?
If you own one I don't really have to explain.
Really? I'd tell you about the pained expressions on one switcher's face I know after asking me (again) to salvage whatever data I could off of the 3rd hard drive that her macbook ate, but it is beside the point.
Are macs decent computers? Yes. Are people buying them en mass because it is 'cool'? Definitely.

without an accurate understanding of who God is and our relationship to him these good works become nothing but acts of vanity and self glorification that serve only to advance pride and promote self-reliance.
Clearly, I don't understand our relationship with God as I don't believe there is one. I object to the notion that good deeds I do are due to vanity, pride etc.
Even if God appeared in my living room and started telling me what He thought is right or wrong I would still measure that against my own moral standard. I wouldn't adjust my own views to fit His. Some Christians find homosexuality to be wrong because the Bible, and therefore God, says so (I'm not suggesting that is what the Bible says, but that is certainly what some Christians think the Bible says). I always say- so what? I don't care if God is real and is anti-homosexual, I am not. I don't care if God says I am tainted by sin, I think I do a good job knowing right from wrong without His help.
