Hmm. I wonder…

- MacBook Air. Gorgeous. I’m going to sit here and figure out how to justify this purchase.
- “The World’s Thinnest Notebook”? The Sony Vaio had it pretty close the last time I checked. But then again, the last time I checked was when I had a Vaio. The Vaio TZ: “3 lbs, .8-1.2 inches, 11 or 12″ display, miniature keyboard, and slower processor.”
- “MacBook Air is 0.16″ to 0.76″. The thickest part of the MacBook Air is thinner than the thinnest part of the Sony. It fits inside a envelope.” How is this even possible?
- 13.3″ display. LED backlit. iSight.
- The kicker is the multi-touch display. The programmability of this feature alone warrants a purchase, right? Darn you, desktop applications and your ability to actually do more useful things that web applications.
- Now, please give me the stats…
- 1.8″ Hard Drive, as expected. 80 GB… kinda sounds like my old PowerBook. SSD as an option.
- 1.6 Ghz, 1.8 option. Core 2 Duo. Pretty darn fast.
- Come on $2K price point. Come on…
- Not liking the fat border around the screen. But then again, some of the volume of the computer has to go somewhere…
- 60% size shrinkage of processor. INSANE.
- Black keys? Whoa.
- PRICE. GIVE ME THE PRICE.
- 45 Watts. Hooray for low power consumption.
- Looks like there’s going to be 4 output holes. Power. USB. Micro-DVI. Audio Out.
- 802.11n. Hmm.
- PRICE PRICE PRICE.
- “Also, software comes with the MacBook Air that allows you to “borrow” a Mac or PCs optical drive.” WOW. That’s. Pretty sweet programming.
- 5 Hours Battery lfe. That is definitely amazing. No other thin laptops give you more than like 3 hours the last time I checked.
- 2 GB. Standard. Delicious.
- $1799.
Uh. Oh…
So it came and went. No big surprises, except for #4. Which is going to be another post. Because I’m dying in anticipation.
- Time Capsule/Full Airport Extreme
- Nice. I’m probably going to be buying a second mac, and so, Time Capsule will be nice to have. One less cord to attach my laptop to.
- Full Airport Extreme… not so much. Why can’t I just hook an external HD to a regular Airport Extreme…
- iPhone/iPod Touch
- SDK: Time to learn Cocoa in a month and a half. Hooray.
- Expected: Maps (Extra Sweet), SMS multiple people (Meh), Webclips (Kinda Sweet), Customized Home Screen (Sweet)
- iPod Touch: $20 to get 5 applications? Meh.
- iTunes Rentals/Apple TV
- Every major studio: Touchstone, Miramax, MGM, Lionsgate, Newline, Fox, WB, Disney, Paramount, Universal, Sony. Hooray.
- I might use it. Freaking, on the iPhone, too? My goodness. I can rent movies on the JesusPhone?
- Ooh. 30 days to start watching, 24 hours to finish. An interesting take on the broken online movie rental market.
- YES. $2.99 for older, $3.99 for new. Cheaper than expected. I don’t see anything about HD content, though.
- Later this year… what a letdown.
- APPLE TV WOO HOO. Is this my second mac? (With silly hacking intended, of course.)
- Do people even use .mac? I’m probably going to be getting my Photos from Flickr anyway.
- AH HA! HD! HD! $4.99 isn’t too bad. For one night’s fun with a bunch of friends: perfect.
- Oh? Just a software update?
- Price drop: $229. Woot.
- Software: 2 weeks.
I hate running. I cannot stand it any more. I can’t believe for a couple weeks I was wanting to train for a marathon. I guess I realized that this really isn’t my thing at all… Even if I had a friend, since I have such an aversion to this form of weight loss, I don’t quite see how he or she is going to help in that endeavor. I even bought the shoes, darn you.
Maybe outside running won’t be as bad… but that’ll have to wait until the weather gets better. I do really miss playing outside.
Alas, I need a way to keep off the pounds while the weather is still a bit chilly. Freaking racquetball would be amazing, but the courts are ever always so filled to capacity.
And so, I must return to my:
[FANFARE]
DDR Routine.
I had recently accumulated about… I don’t know 10GB worth of songs. Now it’s time to put them to good use.
Really, I want an updated Mac Mini so I can just have that be plugged into my TV at all times, for all my media needs.
Why does everything I talk about these days go towards Apple? I know! It’s because there’s something in the air.
They’re sounding more and more condescending as time goes on.
No matter what the “truth” might be, the condescending manner that these ads put forth kinda disgust me.
Maybe it’s just be finally learning to see both sides of the picture even more?
It’s true that people are switching back to XP. But hey, I might consider the same… for the games…
