I've worked a long time with a MacBook Pro: great, though I didn't have to pay for it. What I've read suggests the Air might make a sexier poor man's version of a lower-performance Pro.

Bottom-line question: can the 13" + frills + display work as a primary machine for professional design work (fancy-pants renderings in Illustrator, etc)?

Your "does it have...?" questions ask more from engineering and salable features than they do design. It could have all or none of those things and still have the attributes of superior design [or lack them].

I'm curious about the context: is a professional Adobe product designer in need of "professional-grade computing" in this scenario?

I don't think they know how how to download an app.

The redirect got four (now five) to stop to ponder the scenario. Perhaps we needed the break. Or this is some fateful interweb powwow.

"Organic" will always lose the sale to "poop-free."

Can anyone tell me if there was a prior Gawker article that predicted this? If I recall correctly, there were Gizmodo posts which gave it a fair chance by way of investigation. But outside the network of Gawker sites, I had no idea this existed. I didn't even remember it existed until this post. It seems that this…

I can kinda understand how they've let themselves go, since that's just [American] human nature. But why did they put it there in the first place, when they were inspired and excited and making something awesome?

Do we really have this much faith in low-budget sequels?

Don't both with the toothpick-style flossing sticks. They're too difficult to navigate to the back of your mouth.

Please say the dog in the lead shot is safe so I don't have to be sad about its cute little sad-face.

My coworkers and I remember the times in our design schools when modularity was the go-to innovation that always produced something really kludgy. It's almost a mandatory staple of one's portfolio and will almost never help one get a job.
