Wow, another Mac fanboy compairing his nice shiny new Mac to an outdated and replaced (2 times over) operating system. I bet he will say his Ipad will out perform a netbook too. Though the netbook can multitask, run virtually any windows app, has wifi, you can connect an external dvd and (gasp) it can be a color Ebook reader just like the ipad!!

you are a moron.....forcing someone to include the competitions product with thiers is just plain stupid...would be like forcing volkswagon to advertise Infinity or chevy cars in thier comercials.. BTW I use firefox at least 50% of the time (dont have a choice at work) so dont even call me a M$ fanboy

Aren't those bundled office and norton trials only installed on factory built PCs? I have never seen it on my Windows install discs yell at those manufacturers for that crap I never have to worry about it since i build my own PCs...something you cant do with Macs

Comment Im tired of all this browser crap (Score 0) 423

Ok, maybe im dense or something, eveyone slams M$ for having IE install with windows as if it somehow kill any attempts to install firefox or any other browser.... we all know you can install any browser you want and you do need one to install your favorite unless you want to buy a cd copy. also, how is this different than Apple? Don't they force Safari on you? even half the Mac fanboys I know use firefox on thier supposedly "perfect" Macs. I think all this Browser BS is just that... as long as the M$ and Apple dont force you to use thier browsers by blocking others from being installed, I have no problem with them including thiers with the install. accually I think IE8 works fairly well, I use it and firefox about 50-50. apple can shove Safari... it just sucks

you have that bassakwards, 720p is better than 1080i ...much better. 720P = 720 lines x 60 every second. 1080i i for interlaced writes everyother line, the goes back and writes the others, there for it does 540 lines (half the picture) 60 times a second and only 30 full pictures a second. thats why sporting events are recorded in 720P not 1080i
