What is even worse, but seldom pointed out, is why would a technologically advanced race be broadcasting every increment of a countdown timer between ships? Do they not have clocks? They can't just specify a precise time in the future to attack? Do you think it would have been smart for the allies to broadcast a countdown (encrypted or not) for days or hours before launching the invasion of Normandy? The whole idea of having the countdown broadcast is kind of ridiculous.

Comment Still no WUXGA (1920x1200) on the 17 inch (Score 1) 673

I was really hoping for a 1920x1200 display on the 17 inch model this time around. That would allow displaying 1080p in native resolution, as well as the nice sharp small fonts that I crave.

Considering that graphic designers are a target user for Macs, I find it pretty stupid that Apple doesn't offer WUXGA. I am a coder and my next notebook will have a 17 inch WUXGA display, one way or another.
