This would be a step backwards. The first iPad's back looks way sexier. I also doubt Apple would make the camera and speakers this obvious.

Anyone else see a touch-enabled iMac soon?

After having watched the Fighter, I can't help but have some hope for this project.

That's some cheap shit, Sony.

Ah, finally a sensible man!

Build quality is just one of the aspects. There is no denying that a MBP looks 100x better than any Thinkpad, and you said it yourself: the materials used to build MBP’s are superior. Of course it doesn’t mean my particular MB will last longer than your particular Thinkpad, but all things equal and on average it will.…

The wheels, chassis, frame, battery, etc also make the car move. If I give you an engine you won't be able to transport yourself, that's a fact. You decided to buy a stock 350z, your deal. But if someone buys a Porsche and you tell them they could have bought a muscle car for half the price and twice the horsepower…

This had better come to PS3 and 360 as well.

My point is that it's stupid and you shouldn't do it, even to look manly. You don't drive just a car engine, you don't use just computer guts. There's plenty in Apple's computers besides the "power" that justifies the price: build quality, top shelf materials, proper design, and longevity. A PC that costs half as much…

No, it seems like the philosophy is to release it for devices for which it's ready, while working on the other ones at the same time. Let's see, Sony could do a staggered release as the software and legal stuff gets dealt with and gain some revenue as it's deploying the service, or just sit on the ones that are ready…

Yeah, it always makes business sense to just set shop everywhere to have the biggest audience possible, even if it means giving all your profits and then some to the shop owner.

And how do you measure that "product?" CPU and GPU specs? Do you also reduce cars to just their engines?

But while Sony's planning to introduce a mobile component at some point

Let me guess, "more" to you strictly means "more power and crazy grafix," right?

You can take it shopping (it weighs 1.6 lbs at most and can fit any bag), and how much more useful than a dumbphone will a smartphone be in a movie theater?

On your lap?

Twelve South has to be the best accessories maker ever. I got their portable subwoofer for Macbooks and the iPad Bookbook case, fucking fantastic.

It probably does. Keep in mind that the virtual "retouching" happens after the careful application of makeup by professionals.
