Battery life? Not saying it isn't worth it to you. Just saying, there are trade offs (which you are well aware of, most likely).
None that I'm aware of... my battery is getting pretty old now, but in the beginning I was getting 3 to 4 hours out of it on average.
This was the same as I was getting when it was running Vista Home Premium.
Power management has been pretty decent on the Dell from 10.6.2 on up to 10.6.6.
Down to about 2 hours now. This is due to an old and very heavily used battery over the last 3 years. Battery meter is already telling me to replace the battery due to low battery life.
I'll just buy another laptop since a new battery costs about half the price of a new laptop.
Battery Life, build quality, customer support...all big things.
Build quality on my 1525 is on par with many Apple products I've owned.
Battery life is similar. Remember, Apple and Dell get their batteries from the same manufacturer. ;)
And Dell support for their hardware is top notch.
When the track pad went out on mine they replaced it with no questions asked. If it's still in the warranty period, Dell will fix it regardless of what OS you're running. They will simply run a hardware diag to see if it's a legitimate hardware failure. If yes, the defective part is replaced.

Unfortunately, I don't think the silent majority of drones who use the facebook app care about the approval process. All that matters to them is that they get their facebook.
So let's say facebook were to pull the app in protest, or development stalls indefinitely. Who'd get blamed by the population as a whole? Facebook or Apple?

By offering applications both ways you have an advantage. Apps that want to be listed on the App store need to pass all the usual tests and review process.
By offering applications via your own website you get a warning saying the app wasn't reviewed by app, use at your own risk blah blah blah.
Again, I think it's you who doesn't get Apple's logic here. When a 3rd party application crashes the iPhone, uses too much data, etc, it's Apple and the carrier who take the blame, not the idiot developer who developed crap-ware.
Apple would evidently rather spend less time hardening their phone and more time developing the next version of it. The app approval process lets them check things out with an app before it goes out to the greasy unwashed masses.
If that doesn't float your boat there are plenty of alternatives.
1. Get a different device that lets you install whatever you want.
2. Jailbreak your iPhone, just don't call Apple when you flock it up.
The point made about Facebook being a walled garden is a valid one. Your phone is rapidly on the way to being your passport for functioning in society. It will soon be the key fob to start your car, act as a credit card, etc. Do you really want any software out there running on a device that has this much involvement in your life?

I am seriously thinking of getting out of Windowsworld and the new 24" iMac looks great!:D
From the listed specs this will really rock.
Anybody have advice on whether I should wait for Leopard to come out or not?
Since Core 2 Duo is 64-bit, there's really no reason to wait if you need/really want a new computer right now.

To all those cutting military by huge percentages, what are your plans to deal with the millions of unemployed that would produce?
Ummmmmmm
we don't spend 700 billion on troops. Cut the useless technology programs, give all the remaining money to troops and their needed supplies and equipment.

I surely hope so, comics and manga would be a huge hit especially in Japan.I agree that comics etc would be big.
However - I'm also interested in the electronic Ink technologies that are easy on the eyes and require almost no battery. I doubt Apple would make such a simple device, but who knows.
It would be very interesting to read Lord of the Rings and have the soundtrack playing - synchronised to where you're up to in the book. Or the book with excerpts from the movie.

I may go back here sometime and try to find a better vantage point where the tree isn't in the shot.
Actually, I like the tree. And yet I totally know what you mean by not wanting it in the shot.

And to look at it in a slightly different way ...
Would it have helped the United States to have some country intervene and determine the outcome in our civil war?
I don't know, citizenzen. Tell me: would it have helped the United States to have some country intervene the outcome in our civil war?
At the moment, I'm more interested if Piano's military intervention criteria apply to the Republic of Congo.

@OP, this is very sad. I have been with the facebook app forever. Infact I use it more often than my PC! I hope I get push notifications though...it's a shame. The fb app was the first one I got and it's without a doubt my most used app next to safari if you can consider safari an app.
I see this as an excuse for the developer to explore new horizons. Was it not the same "middleman process" when he first submitted the FaceBook app?? I'm sure it was; however maybe the recent changes are slowing final development to fruition & consumption.
Still the web still has a LONG way to go to become so called "best mobile app" because not all data should be sourced in real time or pulled/pushed when needed by the user. Many places where wireless provider data is STILL not truely unlimited & thus restricted (Canadian providers ALL the incumbents STILL charge & cap a specific ceiling of 1-2GB monthly with few % on the offered/pulled 6gb of data; along with tethering restrictions/allowances and so called "fair use" policies).
There are many applications that serve just as well or better with a single burst of data for 1 time & initial requests. Only specific changes in data which wold affect users are required and incremental.
Some applications, like stock data for trading applications, world news events/reports - need and require a continuous stream of data. Issue is web based cloud "apps" (more like interfaces) change not only the data presented to the end user, but many times augmenting the GUI layout which most of the times is not needed; this lacks in efficient data streaming, and more data bucket usuage & costs to the end user.
There is a HUGE reason why WML/WAP1.1 failed, and why WAP2.0 is in a static state of developmental evolution and suits feature phones, and not smartphones.
Yes I'm aware of HTML5 and what GoogleWave presents - but it proves that the GUI layout consistently changes due to new data streams and provides great event notifications - but its NOT suited for a battery packing handheld smartphone/feature phone device. To put it simply developers that code specifically to the web think of Desktops/Laptops (and recently MIDS) First & Foremost; mobile is thought up of only after mass consumption of their work is taken noticed. THAT is the issue.
Smartphones are THE MOST PERSONAL and trusted computing platform and thus heavily guarded by the end user. As such there NEEDS to be some kind of regulation, to what extent can be argued and never resolved for the next 10yrs - but it cannot nor should NOT be left to the end user!
At one point in the future, a smartphones evolution as a mobile device to a lifestyle personal companion should be as easy, as free, and as care free to use as our voices, words and hands (in any language, context & intent) and evolve as such. The only limitations are common sense, experience, and specific laws & moral aptitude for their uses.
Wow, that is thinking different. I think I'm high!!

uh...urm...NO.
The iPhone is released in a few select countries...FOUR to be exact. We are here talking about a computer that is supposed to be released in WAY more than 4 countries. sheesh, Do you guys seriously think that is a good idea?:confused:

Im glad to see that they finally upgraded their consumer line of notebooks. Now for the RAM, 2 gig's costs about 250 dollars, so if its anywhere near that price to upgrade on the apple store, its a good deal. Ive noticed lately apple has been a little more moderate on their RAM prices, atleast on some machines.

Anyone tell me what good is a 64-bit processor other than being able to address more RAM. I know a 64-bit address bus alone doesn't make a 64-bit processor.
I also heard these are not "true" 64-bit processors, just the same old x86 processors w/ 64-bitty goodness added on. Any truth to this?
See the MacRumors guide that explains about ten major differences in the architecture between Core Duo and Core 2 Duo. 64 bit-ness is a very minor part of the difference. You get three quarters of the improvements even with 32 bit code.
And Formula 1 cars are not really Formula 1 cars, they are just normal cars with stronger engine, revved higher, less weight, optimised for good airflow at high speed and so on and so on and so on... Not at all different from the car you drive.

While I can understand the iMovie Pro sentiments I'm personally not so bothered about the interface re-design. I've been using FCP since it came out and Premiere before that and to me the biggest sell is the speed ramp (64bit.) I'm curious as to what people might have thought if a new look FCP had come out before iMovie had even been released? It's likely it would have looked similar anyway since that is obviously the approach (visual and UI) that Apple is now adopting.
Personally I'm quite excited but I would like to be able to upgrade my whole FCP suite though (at a discount.) These days I use Motion as much as FCP and I'd seriously like to see the render bar 'disappear' from that... ;-)
