The chip alone doesn't really distinguish the macbook from the macbook pro. In the wake of the first wave, the pro was upped in GHz just a bit so that no model was slower than a macbook, but for that period of time they use the same exact chip but were obviously not the same computer. The fact that the pro has better display real estate, a dedicated graphics card, the aluminum shell, 2 firewire ports, a slot for an express card, a double layer superdrive and now support for 3GB of RAM make a seriously big difference when compared to the macbook's hardware. simply adding C2D wont make it equal to the pro at all. also, how much more overhead does apple actually see compared to what they'd make if macbooks had core 2 duos in them?
I have to agree with the overhead argument. There is still plenty to distinguish between the two, even if they both have c2d. And more important than the differentiation in componentry of the two notebooks is the difference in price. Apple cannot maintain the current macbook price, given that (with similar components) the macbook can be more expensive than the new macbook pros. Without either a drop in price (which is not likely at this point) or an update, macbook sales will drop. In other words, something has to change relatively soon...

Well not too excited if it is like what it is described. Nothing sensational.
On the other hand, this could be achieved through MobileMe, easily. Just created apple script to copy data whenever new data is added. :|
OR Dropbox OR amazon disk. :|
I hope Apple does something different.

Updated the day it came out and so far, everything is fine, except that I've had System Preferences crash a couple of times, which is odd, as System Preferences very rarely crashes. That may not even be related to the firmware update, though. Other than that, it's all good.

What company wimax router do you use and what's the monthly fee?
I'm on UQ Wimax with an NEC A t e r m W M 3 5 0 0 R router. It's a POS really, I keep losing my wifi connection when I have my laptop AND my Android phone(s) connected. But it's so inconsistent, sometimes hours go by before I get an issue, sometimes it happens within minutes.
I only keep it cuz it's fairly stable with just my MBA connected, and because of the amazing 8 hours of battery.
This was plan with no contract, and flat fee for unlimited (actually really unlimited, this is Japan!) data. �4490/month. With contract is �500 cheaper or something, maybe �1000. Can't remember. Device itself was �5100, and activation was another �2-3000.

The USA has the longest road network at about 4 million miles. There are probably 40 million iPhone users in the USA. So that is 1/10th of a mile per user. If mapping the USA cost $10 per mile of road then the cost would be one dollar per user. I'd invest a million or two in writing some really clever software to analyse GPS data and let iPhone users collect all the necessary data, then professional drivers just following all the mapped roads to fix errors.
I'd be glad to contribute to fix GPS map errors - nothing bothers me more than trying to find an address that appears to be in an empty field. :p

Sorry sir, you are wrong.
Link's right here. (http://www.sanfranciscosentinel.com/?p=82385)
1,211 incidents in a country with a population of over 300 million people (according to the 2010 census)? That's so small it is laughable.
Just so you understand that is one incident for every 247,729.14 people (roughly).

How am I supposed to submit a network issue to them if I'm having problems with the network? Should I take note of my problem and send them a post card later? lol, just kidding. This is actually a good idea and I like the way at&t is tracking these issues.

LOL @ Princeton - A mere 10th in world university rankings. Far from the impressive 9th of Imperial College :D
What bugs me is that I am now at Oxford, which by the way is number two or three in the world, that Macs are under represented. In fact there is no store, virtual or otherwise in the whole of Oxford!!!!!:confused: How smart is that????:eek:
How about a nice big juicy shop on High Street!!!!! Or even next to the Bodleian!!!
Bring it on apple :cool:

Nope, it's all downloaded, extracted and installed through Steam. Not a DMG in sight.
so if you computer crashes you left with nothing.. again why they should discount this.

Sold... 299 dollars for that? Amazing.
That's my thought exactly. This is what I wanted FC to be all along. I found myself going back to iMovie time and time again because I was so sick of dealing with FC's quirks. This is going to make pro editing a pleasure.

Absolutely! Did you get a passkey? You'll start reeling in the points after ten work units. Especially when bigadv returns to OS X.
Wow, I just found about passkeys and bigadvs. I never realized that they were tied to your passkey until today when I was skimming some other forums and wondering why my 12 core box wasn't reeling in tons and tons of points.

This is great news.
As a owner of the Macbook 5,1 I am now watching prices for 8gb kits which are only $90 today.
just bought 8gb for $65 today ($20rebate) on newegg after finding this article. good luck!

How do you find it on the App Store?
It's called "iDesktop VR". But it is NOT the version shown here. It's a version that is based on the accelerometer only. There is no head tracking involved, so the effect can't exactly be compared. But it gives you the idea.

I agree. I recently went to Asia for two weeks and I took my mini over my video, not just because the mini came with a charger, but it's better made. My video iPod scratched the first day I had it!
I don't know about you people, but my 60GB white 5G is still looking great, only very lightly scratched on the front, and even more imperceptibly scratched on the back (you can see those scratches only under certain lighting conditions). Do you know in which case do I carry it? An iPod sock. That's right, I carry it in my right pocket, next to my bulky wallet, almost daily, since early December, and it's still looking great (actually, the sock even helps to clean the natural body grease smudges from the iPod's back plate, so every time I take it out, it just looks, well, shiny). The fact that I carry my keys in my left pocket, along with my ancient Siemens cell phone (which I hand-painted with my ex-girlfriend's black nail varnish coz' its faceplates sucked so badly, and, incidentally, still looks very shiny on most of its surface and "rugged" in the crappiest sense of the word), may explain its near-pristine condition... :rolleyes:
Anyway, I guess I must be one lucky bastard, since the only time I dropped it, luckily it was inside the sock and fell flat on its front face, on the floor, and the HD wasn't spinning. Whew! Also, last night I was holding it with no sock whatsoever while thinking to myself, "I must lay it down before falling asleep, otherwise I may drop it", and woke up in the morning still holding it. You could say that you'd have to pry it out of my warm, living hands. :D
Oh, well, I wouldn't mind if Apple used more resistant materials, though. I'm always telling people to be very careful when even *touching* my iPod, I always pick the best spot where to lay it down when not in use, I never let it come into direct contact with any surface other than the sock or a soft cloth, etc. I certainly wouldn't mind not having to be so anal retentive about scratches... :p
