I asked that question -- in a blog post on my wife's blog -- after discovering too many personal details about the family out there on her blog. We'd agreed when she started blogging (she's a neophyte for the most part) that details such as names, locations, ages, where we went on vacation, etc. were not allowed, and she agreed.

Hijacking her blog was actually pretty easy, since I'm her local IT Shop -- I host our email server/web services in-house, and of course, her login falls under my .org AD domain (hate to burst everyone's bubble, but I'm more a Windows expert than *nix, though I can play in both). Not only did I make myself an admin for her blog, I made her a non-admin, so she couldn't undo my post (which, by the way, was my first blog post ever -- I suppose that indicates my stance on blogging and personal privacy pretty well). This had the delicious side effect of her not speaking to me for several days. Several whole days! During that time, I added a poll to her blog ("How jaded had [I] become?" was the question), changed the hideous colors/theme and of course, edited out all the stuff that shouldn't have been there in the first place.

She eventually asked nicely for her blog back (there wasn't really much else she could do), and I gave in -- but only after she conceded her own lack of judgment in naming the kids, where we'd moved to, where we went on vacation, how old I am, and other details that have no business on the Internets.

Moral of the story: People who blog, usually say too much. Unless you can hack their blog, good luck stopping it entirely.

My opinion of the story: People who blog, usually shouldn't.

Discuss amongst yourselves. :)

That was a mirror of conversations I had with when they received their units MONTHS ago. Maybe better to call this "Impressions" since neither seemed interested in any real review details. Form and finish are nice, but a lot of folks want to see numbers, or relatively clear comparisons of speed.

I bought my MBP 15" back in May and have been fairly well satisfied. 90% of my apps are now native mac apps ( 50% are universal ) - definitely need MORE universal apps...

And, to provide a benchmark of anything I did benchmark the MBP running XP and 3dmark05/3dmark06 if any of you all are interested. A mac bigot would yell , use mac native games.. to which my reply is ... uhm, NO.
