What does the "u" in the uMBP mean? Micro?

Looking at this thread, and all the 'almost new' mbp's comming up for sale, it could mean 'useless'...😀

but u = unibody, the newer production method where the mbp is cut from one piece of aluminium.

Crap intel intergrated graphics are back.

Almost certainly, its what arrandale uses. A Much better version though, pretty much on par with the 9400m.

I don't think I can possibly stress enough just how little people refreshing a page every minute or so affects such a high-throughput site.

I think everbody here knows that and it was just a joke.
However there are websites that could suffer from something like that. See here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slashdot_effect
It's also called "heise-DoS" in Germany because of the popular German IT-Newsticker heise.de.

But that certainly doesn't apply to a website like store.apple.com.

Yup.



On an unrelated note, I'm using Opera to auto-refresh the page every five mins. I'll push it up to every 15 seconds or so as we get closer to the opening.
