Can you go WiFi only and opt out of any AT&T plan? Only asking because I'm north of the border.

Thats what I'm talking about. If there is no obvious menu or button on the screen that looks like it should get you out of the app (most full screen apps) the escape key should (by all logic) get you back to a menu of some kind.

For full screen apps the 'esc' key usually makes them not full screen. I wasn't suggesting it shut down the application. Kind of like when you run a powerpoint slideshow and there are no buttons on the screen. You hit 'esc' to get you out of there ....

No matter how 'different' a UX is, it shouldn't take 3 days to figure out. The fact that the 'esc' key doesn't do anything is ridiculous. It should, you know, escape something.

2 min 50 sec to check the time and weather .... like a boss!

Just sitting at the login page my CPU goes crazy. Looks like it'll be a bandwidth pig. As far as design goes it looks very nice, but it couldn't have gotten any worse. We'll just have to see how this plays out re: Facebook/Spotify competitor.

Ok Gizmodo, we get it, the maps suck. Can we move on now? Or at least condense all of the iOS 6 mapping articles into one post.

Really? The trackpad is the only thing that doesn't look the Macbook Pro. That black bezel, black keys on brushed aluminum. The font on the keys even looks similar.

I was under the impression that most TBolt accessories will have two ports for daisy chaining.

Mine is all out of whack. I'm wondering if it's because I had the iMessages Beta installed for Lion prior to the upgrade.

With copper at a high would it be advantageous to melt them down and sell them as scrap?

I am missing something? Link?

Another sleep deprived parent here. I'm sometimes sitting at work and think to myself "I remembered to drop the kids off, right?". For a split second I think they might still be in the car, then whats left of my brain kicks in and reminds me that everything is fine.

As a certified Mac technician, this does concern me a little. I doubt many of these machines will come by my desk but they sound like a pain in the arse. The Airs aren't a ton of fun to work on either though.

The one and only reason I would buy this laptop is for the retina display. I'm willing to sacrifice the optical drive and ethernet port for that resolution. I maybe use a dvd drive 3 or 4 times a year and I use ethernet at work so I'd probably grab the dongle. It wouldn't be much thicker than an ethernet cord so I

"I'd rather have the option to decide for myself what I do or do not need"

External DVD drive and Ethernet -> Thunderbolt adapter ..... problems solved.

Yeah, I think I'll just wait three hours to see what the *real* specs are.

I have a problem with #1 on your list. You're saying you want OSX to maximize the window to fit its contents? Isn't that exactly what the little green dot has done for the last decade? It "maximizes" the window to as large as it needs to be without filling your screen with whitespace. I actually hope that doesn't
