I would love to see a Mac laptop without an optical drive. It'd certainly be able to boot from a FireWire optical drive, and Apple could even make a nice matching one. Honestly, an…

Last time I heard rankings on the powerbooks from a local Apple shop, they were moving the 15 inch the most, then the 12, then the 17. No idea how many, but the 12 was doing bette…

Count me in also as one who hates laptops which don't have optical drives. I think Apple will continue including optical drives on all its laptops.

I see the iBook not shifting away from the 12" and 14" specs, I much rather see the MBP going 13" so it will be widescreen across the line (and also differentiate it from the iBook…

I would love to see an optical-driveless Mac subnotebook. This doesn't mean of course, that that I think optical drives should vanish all-together from the iBook/MacBook line, but …

I don't think Apple will introduce a sub-notebook sans the optical in the near future. I would however be interested to buy one. I rarely need the optical and when I do, I'm workin…

Think Secret just weighed in, claiming an announcement is imminent in March, with availability ramping up in April. Core Solo. I'm, of course, aflutter with anticipation. The down…

With the $32 difference between Core Duo and Core Solo and other OEMs (like Dell) putting Core Duo in their sub-$999 laptops, it would be a shame if Apple didn't put Core Duo in th…

Runescape works great for me in Safari. Might be the speed of your Mac or your internet connection. The coffee cup and arrows indicate that Java is still loading.

Just thought I should let the other top gear fans that tonite on Discovery channel, they'll be playing episodes until about 2 this morning I think. Not sure if they're new episode…

well, theyve all been reruns so far... damn ive missed this show

best.show.ever

I'm a relative novice to cars, but I figured I'd tune in anyways. This show really is incredible. Everything about it; the hosts, the music, the cinematography.

I saw one episode of top gear and liked it so much I bothered to write the name of it in MacJournal. When it does it usually air? (Funnily, I read the thread's title quickly and th…

Theres a new one off Top Gear this weekend, Winter Olympics with cars!! Ski jumping, ice hockey and ice racing. Looks like fun .

I wondered why my TiVo was going crazy last night. The record light was on solid every time I looked.
