It was in our gift to give the world our language. We should be forgiven for still wanting to set the rules - even as our candle gutters on the world stage.

If the French or Germans had won that particular race, no doubt they would be the same. But because of modern communications and the fact that the world has 'grown up' in the age of America's 'cultural', economic and social dominance [and because they're often quite loud], they're the ones that call the shots.

Hands up who wishes the Germans had won!;)


Actually, another post gave info to the contrary. Aluminum was the standard pronunciation until it was changed to fit with the rest of the "ium" elements by the UK. Now, both pronunciations and spellings are correct.

It's actually the UK that wants to change things to fit their own game, as is usually the case. :D



Amen to that.

Why go only a few decades...

Hands up to those that wish the Native Americans killed all the pilgrims, then made sure no other people landed in America.... :D

It is. The foggy-ness of the photo really give it away. But it does prove the point that mockup artists still don't carry a creative bone in their body. They are still using the iMac bezel like having a black border around the monitor of a portable has a purpose.

And yeah, the trackpad will be a second monitor :rolleyes:
 
ooooh, this should be a little display with a dock!?
i had absolutely no idea what this should be :D

and also, the book is too thin for the superdrive in the front..

Its meant to be a reflection by the looks of it but there is no dock on the screen.
 
It's difficult to wish for the impossible. Where would we be getting our computers from if that had happened? But that a succession of governments might have thought it a good idea to honour a few treaties isn't really asking too much is it?

Getting away with ƒ¨ç˚^~©*the first peoples of what we now know as North America has allowed the USA to export its own brand of 'democracy' to the rest of the world, whilst sitting in judgement on those countries [like South Africa] 'stupid' enough to simply subjugate their populations - instead of murdering them all.

Remember the stolen Nations, there were once 500 of them. Remember the Trail of Tears... then drink Bud and salute the flag.:rolleyes:

sorry for the bump

i like the tapered edge. but the camera of the iphone isnt even pointed at the laptop and the phone is chest high while the picture was taken at a low angle. i wonder how apple will keep the professional look while making it modern like the macbook air.
 
i would buy a new macbook pro, if they look like this!
just a rough 3d i'v made from scratch. far for being complete. enjoy! ;)

All I ask is the magnetic latch. I'll settle for a current MacBook Pro without complaint, but I do love the magnetic latch on my MacBook.
 
Seriously, it's all just viral marketing. The only other brand that comes to mind that draws this much pre-announcement hype is Canon's EOS line. It's amazing really.

Looks nice all, i'll hope they will release it arround June :) my windows notebook died a few days ago...
 
I ve sold my iPhone and Macbook pro and i m waiting for the 3G/new Macbook...
I would love an Alu macbook...is all i want....

cheers from Glyfada beach...Corfu....Greece...:cool:
 
I'll wait again till the end of June to see if anything pans out, otherwise it doesn't matter and I'll just go ahead and buy.
 
mac updated

does anyone know anything substantial about the new releases of the computers and phones? like will the MB get a backlit keyboard or x4500 upgrade from x3100?:apple:

im trying to get a computer and i would like to know if it is worth waiting for the next gen MB
 
All the rumors seem to point to the newer books coming out sometime this summer. As far as the x4500, I dont see how apple couldn't put it in, its part of the montivina platform which is released next month and if apple releases their next laptops without it then they would be using yesterdays technology and I cant see why any company would think thats a good idea

that's a pretty big assumption that Apple will refresh this summer...A lot of people on these boards hope for upgrades all the time..if I remember correctly, the chanting and speculating of a new MBP came just a few days after the latest refresh was announced. Apple is usually a late adopter, as long as Intel doesn't twist its arm..

Next mb/mbp upgrades in September/October at the earliest..

Apple's been using older tech in their computers for a while, its not surprising that they would continue.
