@MKFiveGTI: Don't hold your breath.

@gizgizgiz: The sort of people who need Thunderbolt are also the same sort of people who buy MacBook Pros. They'll be using it within months.

@Evning Kirk: Light Peak was never supposed to integrate with USB.

@jddf: Pro audio.

@ty007et09: Without any of the applications that people buy OS X for!

The comedy potential of a 27" Mac laptop is fantastic.

@MrCheatachu: Yes, much better to buy this cheap knockoff.

@AJ: lol, Android "learned the hard way"? They should have just followed Apple who got it right the first time, completely redoing every app in the OS to suit the tablet form factor.

@Cerasus: And it was a runaway hit, while the Galaxy Tab was a flop.

@jfwlucy: That site is a load. Basically the author trawls the internet for anything that contains even a reference to rape, and adds it to her giant twine ball to prove her point.
