nope. its a common problem with the 17" macbook pro.

the fucktards didnt engineer the hinge properly.

if it's any consolation to you, I think that the airbook is a sub-par POS.

funny, to me that's the most attractive offering, i love the idea of the flash hard drive (hitachi got them first actually) and the ultraportable features-- just the price is a bit demented.

and i just hate that you cant change the battery. come on!!!

but i love tiny computers. a bit heavy for the size but eh.

UNCHAIN OSX

oh ffs because every fucking piece of hardware available for PC is so exquisitely made.


harden the fuck up dude and stop whining about being given a laptop to play with.

fucking nazis.

teeheeee

tell me a bit about solaris and why etc?

i beg to differ, i have never seen a pc with similar spec that would do that live.

all the multi-core multiprocessors you keep hearing about (core duo's, quad core's, phenom's, etc. etc. etc.)
work better with multithreading.

it's not likely to happen, though, despite the fact that os x has already taken a couple of things from solaris.

but (i was reading) solaris is free and already has an 8-million user base? mostly geek/science/business of course. but also has a way to run contained linux apps. how hard would it be to make it user-friendly?

i tried running redhat 3-4 years ago & it was a nightmare. so ive been looking forward to OSX as "the user friendly UNIX"-- just crippled by limited hardware choices which breaks my balls.

but anyway-- do you foresee any kind of UNIX rising to become a win/mac competitor, not just a tool of hobbyists and specialized business apps?

ps- i gotta crash, will read tomorrow

[!@#$%!]

yeah GUIs are not the issue these days, it's the installing of programs and the availability of software that concerns me. i dont know for example of any unix app that will match dreamweaver for website management-- i hand code everything, but the DW templates & link updates & file management really make my life easier.

now AVID will run on pc or mac (and it's picky about hardware); not on linux. there may be other editors in the future (edius i think worx with linux?) but intallation, support, etc. are a pain.

i remember trying to set up a BT server in redhat 9. jeezus what a fucking nightmare. i gave up fast.

so that' why i have hope in OSX -- it's UNIX, it's user friendly, it's well supported, it has commercial apps. we just gotta free it from its artificial hardware handicaps.

[!@#$%!]

myeah. i'll stick to xp for a long as i can. but look:

there is hope

hackintosh vs. real mac benchmarks

not fucking bad!

I'll take a nice and robust IBM Thinkpad over a Mac anytime.

Sure you can put together a super computer. If you're a geek and know what you're doing.
I don't have time for, or interest in semiconductor devices.

[!@#$%!]

yeah i want OSX liberated from overpriced and/or mediocre hardware and within reach of people everywhere, like windows is today.

i want OSX becoming the main PC software, at least until something better comes along.

i'd buy it tomorrow if i could install it in my thinkpad.

david whatever actually has a great idea, apple partnering with lenovo.

thinkpad + osx is my dream laptop

for fucks sakes i'd buy one tomorrow.

anyway, you DO have time and interest-- you're posting here

i would rather care with the semiconductors devices than with the pretty minimalist case, i use computers to work not as a fashion accessory.

Apple seems to be doing a pretty good job when it comes to satisfying their costumers. Their profits surged astronomically in 2007. 67% in its fiscal fourth quarter alone and it's only going to get better.

More than just a fashion accessory, don't you think?

Computers.
