We'll just strap Honey Boo Boo to the bow of the craft. I'm sure her jowls would absorb/deflect any incoming particles. Hydrogen or not.

Actually I live in Seattle, and regularly travel to Portland to visit family. Seattle had SERIOUS navigation issues, and half of Portland was showing up as a city park. It wasn't just a few images.

The more I look at it, the more I think I'm looking at a floating Apple Store.

I sure hope it doesn't use Apple Maps to navigate!

Not I. I had to log in via modem to post this. Only, I don't own a modem so I had to whistle the train up codes into the receiver to make it all work. Hope I'm not making any typos here.

Well, Windows 8 did launch today... Maybe it's all the patching.

I AM being facetious here...

If one fits in my pocket, and the other does not...

Great. I was merely expressing an opinion. I've played with the 7" tablets and always feel that if I need something bigger, then it should at least be about the size of a sheet of letter-sized paper.

Apple didn't want to or Steve Jobs didn't want to? I realize that at one point they were synonymous but, for all we know it's been in development for a while.

If they sound half as good as their entry level Electrostatics, they're more than worth the price.

Show me where Win7 has a "Start" icon. You mean the "Windows" key? That hasn't been labeled start since... XP?

Disappointed is more like it. The previous design to shutdown/reboot was pathetic. This one is just worse.

Maintenance doesn't run at 3 AM on a laptop in sleep mode, and when I get into the office the first thing I need to do is work, not reboot/patch forcibly.

Closing the lid doesn't reboot.

Yeah, intention meet reality.
