From the article: "We’re not sure how we feel about removing the optical drive from the Pro machine, but that’s a debate for another time." I welcome it. I've never used the drive in my MacBook Pro. I used the drive in my old MacBook Pro once, and that was to upgrade to Snow Leopard. Shipping Lion on a USB stick would be awesome. A few people would whinge if they dropped the DVD drive but I guess if they had 2 models, one with and one without, they'd end up killing the one with the DVD drive as it'd be fatter. Before people wittier on about Blu Ray - I can't see Jobs doing it. the DRM is such a headache what with key revocation etc.

It already exists... In partnership with HP :)

Oracle Exadata

I imagine that'll soon go the way of the dodo, and get replaced with some Sun kit.
