Oh, I couldn't leave just yet.Agathon, I enjoyed the part where Steve Jobs finds a "bug" on his comp during his demonstration. What bad timing for the comp to freeze.

There should be new laptops on their way out right now.Originally posted by Verto
Which is easily bypassed.
Before I sign off, let me say thanks for the feedback so far.

Intel just released a new Centrino platform.
And I don't see how it's "easily bypassed" -- the thing comes with one touchpad button...you can't add another.

IMO they should've used the Black Eyed Pea's original version called "Let's Get Retarded", not "Let's Get It Started" before Jobs got on stage.Originally posted by Verto

Erm, you qualify for MS academic pricing regardless of platform.
The UofC offers most MS software legally for PC absolutely free. Including Visual Studio Enterprise, which usually costs thousands of dollars
Some of my software is actually legal now.
For some of these schemes you do need to pay a nominal annual fee(20 - 30$) though but you can download ANY MS product of your choice (not games and there is a max download ).
You're even allowed to use as them long as you want, so even when you've finished school.
Do note that an academic version of Visual Studio for example will not allow you to build a stand-alone executable...or so I am told.

I've never seen that clip of Jobs' Mac locking up.
It's awesome. It's particularly awesome because for all of the crap we hear about how stable and sophisticated MacOS X is, it's clearly not.
It's also great because I remember all the harping Bill Gates got from all of the Mac-heads when his Windows screwed up in a demo, too.

There was a better one a few years back when someone forgot to charge his digital camera and screwed up his presentation on digital photography. He was almost swearing.
Did you see John Mayer and Garageband? That's pretty cool.Only feebs vote.Comment

The software he was demonstrating is still in Beta. It won't be released for months yet.

Apparently it didn't screw up, he just couldn't figure out how to get it to work. Typical really.Only feebs vote.Comment

THe audio stopped 15 minutes in - does QuickTime have functionality restrictions for unregistered versions? Or perhaps the stream just stopped working properly?

Nonsense -- it clearly became unresponsive. He was hitting buttons and trying to quit out, nothing happened.Apparently it didn't screw up, he just couldn't figure out how to get it to work. Typical really.
It's either a lockup bug which took down OS X, or it's not easy to use.

The Toshiba M30 looks pretty cool. Don't know if its in your price range, though. I'm more and more sceptical about Dell. A friend of mine got one. When he types a bit too hard, the touchpad senses it and the cursor moves. A pain in the ass. He called Dell. Their answer? We can do nothing for you.I just wish other companies would try to match the exterior appeal of Apple. I'm going to aim at testing some of these out in person, and see how they feel.Let us be lazy in everything, except in loving and drinking, except in being lazy – LessingComment

Good luck explaining how that wasn't the program screwing up..."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
