Isn't this a repost? I swear, I've seen this on giz before..

@FauxReal: He might strip naked in a bar and leave his costume!

@Rob C: Yeah, I hopped on specifically to post this. A road bike can reach upwards 85-120 psi, a car tire is typically in the 30-40psi range... kind of a silly article.

@Kasse: Newer Master locks are anti-shim, the old ones should work, you might have to twist them in.

@acidrain69: Not that it matters much, but it looks like the Air's SSD is SATA based, so looks like it wont' be useful in current gen netbooks :(

@JDickson87: From the presentation, it looked like the SSD is removable/mini PCIe compatible. This would imply portability between machines. I'm still looking for a teardown, though, as a mini PCIe connector would be approximately the same height as a processor socket. (minus the cooling HSF, of course). I'm hoping

@acidrain69: Yeah, from what I've seen, the mini PCIe spec has SATA lanes built into it (natively), and the flash_con has PATA built into the lanes that would normally be "reserved" in the mini PCIe spec. I don't know for sure, but i was under the impression that the Mini9 also had a PATA flash_con, are you trying to

@Gïmmï Mørgäikköŋëŋ: I can't stop watching this... lolwat comes to mind. What is that dude doing?? Toyota runaway??

@acidrain69: What I'm especially curious about is whether or not this is an actual mini PCIe slot, or if it's a flash_con (with paralell ATA pins). They're mechanically equivalent, but not (necessarily) electrically.

@JDickson87: Looks like i stand corrected, although I'm still pretty certain the CPUs aren't upgradeable. If they're sitting in a socket, I will be very surprised.

@JDickson87: You probably can't, unfortunately, with the ULV processors they're using, and the thinness, these processors are almost 100% not sitting in a socket, they're going to be soldered directly to the board. You can "spec up" RAM and SSD capacity, but likely if you want a faster processor, you're going to have

@rattmobbins: To be fair, lots of netbooks run "full blown" OSX... they just weren't designed to be.

@jammywoley: It's a custom designed SSD, it's just not in the 2.5" form factor. I'm actually very curious about the hardware specs, looks like it was using the mini PCIe connectors (flash_con) that the eeePCs used. I'm really interested to see the Read/write time. This doesn't really qualify as a ramdisk, IMO.

@mukmuk: "open" was in direct response to jobs' comments. For that matter, so was "real" in the web experience. It's kind of natural to use general/vague terms in response to general/vague terms.

Michael: So this is the Aztec Tomb trick.

@Steven Callas: So you admit to frapping on a daily basis?

@AutobahnBurner: Breakdance. Those beats don't stop for nobody.

I dunno about you guys, but i'm not going to be losing my remote control when it's plugged into a charging base.
