Don't meant to create multiple conversations going at once here but...
I agree w/ the above. The dual screen laptop is genius.
And here is the Babelfish translation of text from that page. This is about Apple. It's kind of brilliant and ludicruous at the same time in translation from the Chinese:
"[Apple Computer] Wants to be in the lead to the field, the outstanding creativity is absolutely cannot lack, has the unique feasible outstanding creativity to be able to let own product eagerly anticipate the entire market the direction of advance, if does not have it, only can look other merchant the back, in was full is on the dust path goes all out to pursue."

Seriously, learn to read. You simply don't recognize a contradiction when you see one.MacQuest said:
There is one thing that is true: The more expensive models have more features than the less expensive models.
There is one thing that is not true: "Pro" means something useful.
If you have read the thread, then you will know why this statement was made: a poster was complaining that high end games needed "pro" hardware. That such machines would be desired for gaming puts the lie to any assertion that "pro" is anything more than Apple marketing fluff.
I would imagine the only problem with typing on a flat surface is not being able to feel the keys.
still, I'm down for turning the lower half (between latch and keyboard) of my laptop into a touch screen. most definately the touch pad.

the greatest would be if steve walked on stage and said... "ya know, we had something completely different planned for our aniversary. but I'm a macrumors addict and these people mocked up some great apple products. much better than what we had"

Seriously, learn how to write and post. I recognize contradictions very easily, which is why I pointed yours out.
I want to see a portable ipod looking device that you can bring a "keynote" with you to a meeting, which will have a video/audio out port. hmmm.... maybe it will allow a slide out keyboard for last minute changes etc... and weighs about 2lbs; and you can put it in your pocket! ...and of course has bluetooth, wireless, and a PCMCIA card.
...kind of a mini mini portable computer - Now that would be very useful!

1. iMac has the name Mac in it.
2. iBook doesn't.
3. Steve Jobs stated [MWSF '06] that products that run Mac OS should include Mac in their names.
4. iBook will be re-named MacBook because it runs Mac OS and therefore should have Mac in the name.
5. Makes sense.
6. Do we have to draw pictures?
Yes, I hope they drop the 'i" from iMac as well. Probably won't happen until a re-design though.
I don't think they will ever drop the "i" in "iMac." 'iMac' has become synonymous with a desktop all-in-one computer. Everyone (even Windows lovers) know what an iMac is, the word "mac" just doesn't mean the same thing (e.g. could mean a hamburger at McDonalds).MacQuest said:

I understand where you're coming from EricNau, but I don't think that the switch to calling the all in one "iMac" a "Mac" is as profound as you [and undoubtedly many others] may think.
I don't believe that computer users will be lost/confused because the "i" was dropped. Actually, I think that Apple will just do it for consistency's sake [especially in marketing], knowing that the majority of people will continue to call it an iMac for years to come.
I just can't imagine that someone in a computer environment is going to think that they are being offered a hamburger because the salesperson keeps saying Mac anymore than someone standing in line at McDonalds is going to be expecting a computer with their fries. They probably won't even notice it.
Even in a non-computing environment and in a purely verbal exchange, you'd have to be pretty "Yvan256" to be talking about computers and be thrown off by hearing Mac as opposed to iMac.

mad jew said:They're back up and I don't see any changes.
Still down here in the U.S though. [keeping fingers crossed]
You Aussies get Apple stuff really late anyways, "mad jew". ;(
How's that iTunes Music Store working out for you guys over there? It's what?... a few months old now?
I know. I suck.
Anyone notice that the Apple Store is down? When you click on the store link, the "ipod + iTunes" link changes to "music".

Yeah, I just started browsing through the posts [I always read a few of the last ones first, before going to the front of the thread].
This is exciting!!!
Maybe a new tab will show up on the Apple site that says "Videos" and that's where they'll put the current TV shows.
Then maybe they'll introduce the movie service early this week!
I read yesterday that Creative is set to announce it's movie service on March 30th, and I would imagine Apple is even farther along than they are.
This would be a serious blow to Creative, on top of the one that Apple has already given them [and everyone else] in the music player [and download service] market
Are we talking about this tab?InTheBand said:It does for me... and the store is still down!!!
