    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    Not going to be far off.

    Seriously, we've taken a game that I never thought could run acceptably on anything but the meatiest of desktop PCs, and got it to run on a tablet. The iPad (original) struggles, but can just about do it. The Tegra is plenty powerful enough for it. So porting something like Starcraft would be eminently possible - just down to Blizzard deciding it's worth doing.

    Did anyone watch the promo video on the site and notice the bit about editing movies shot with your ipad... and it shows the person editing clips from their day out at the beach... a clip of them standing in the water... with their mates?

    Thats just ****ing stupid. No one does that.

    Its definitely a cool device but Apple's marketing department has really gone too far. Each of their video promos have a checklist of phrases that they need to fit in there so people who just watch it brain dead will finish the video and think "THIS IS THE BEST DEVICE EVER I MUST OBTAIN IT AT ONCE".

    "New innovation"? I wasn't aware you could create old innovation.

    "for the first time"

    "all new"

    "new technology"

    "new manufacturing processes"

    "invent"

    "Forced induction" sounds like some sort of sexual assault.

    They are becoming cheaper with every release tho 13" mbp is 1300 and is a pretty mean note book compared to the old 13" which was 1300. Same with all their stuff it becomes cheaper over new releases. I love my mac I wouldn't go back to pc unless I had to took a little while to get used to but defiantly worth the switch, I find that's half the problem mac haters have IMO Click here to enlarge

    Killer for me is app support. Because of the things I need to run on my laptop, I have to have windows. I know I can format a mac and install windows, but doesn't that defeat the /entire/ point of owning a mac? Plus, with the price premium already charged for Apple kit, then add a full commercial windows license (because you can't use an OEM version), and it's so far out of price comparison territory it's just not funny.
