in addition to what the others said, have a student buy it for you (the apple care) and you'll save a few more bucks (about $100)

exactly. i used the 300 i saved to extend the warranty for another 2 years. ...i think in 3 years time, i'll be ready for another laptop.

to be fair, and i've been a pc person most of my life, 2 years later and my apple still outperforms most of my PC's that I've had for just as long. come to think of it, it even outperforms this desktop that i'm typing from that has 3 times as much ram and twice the processing speed.

Personally I'm not a fan of the lanky spidey.... reminds me of the ultimate spidey comics, which are... meh. But I agree with you on the costume - not sold on it entirely.

"the market for phone cases is huge" ...

You'd think they would have put this in the Porsche designed enclosure that LaCie has. This bulky looking thing just LOOKS slow...

Remember that movie "Snakes on a Plane"? ...yeah, the most comical part about that flick was how all those snakes made their way board from Hawaii... not likely. Fines for possessing an illegal (meaning non-native) species on the islands can…

Seriously... the should have brought Routhe back as supes...

Very, very well put, sir...

Yeah I remember that ad with Dr Dre, the headphones and some HP laptop that was "tuned for making music" .... I wonder how many moron's fell for that?

*sigh.... ain't that the truth.

I'm with you on this. I have issues with Chris Evans and Reynolds playing two different superheros... there are enough crappy actors out there that can do the job.

Thank you for mentioning her. Up until I just read your post, I never bothered looking into who the screenwriter was - seems like she even named one of her kids after Jack Kirby, one of the co-creators of x-men.... her love for comic based movies, and a pretty decent job with XMFC, yes, please DO give her the job of…

Agreed. It's definitely too soon after SM3.... I just hope he's not jumping off buildings wearing those clunky, blinged out, gold-plated spidey shoes throughout the movie.
