While these MacBook owners are getting turned away at the Apple Genius Bars, they have come up with a custom and unique solution to the problem. A piece of paper, placed strategically under the battery pack where the trackpad is located, seems to fix this problem for most users."

I agree completely with the glossy screen sentiment. They can transmit light more directly, making things more 'vibrant'. Of course its like starring at a mirror, though. I can't stand the things. I think the real reason they are popular is because the screen is shiny. People like shiny things.

An interesting additional point is that the MacBook Pro can now also be order with the glossy screen. Fortunately its only an option, not standard.
