I had the same thought about Time Machine - I suspect they want you to start backing up on (and paying for) iCloud.

I don't have an opinion on the protruding lens, but enough with the typical Slashdot attitude. Jeez.

Oh, come on. Why can't an expert be someone who knows where to look and produces helpful information?

I grew up with Car Talk and it never occurred to me to question the reality of the show, so when I found out how it's produced (not a secret: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_Talk), it felt like learning the hard truth about Santa Claus all over again. Hurts, right?

Suspension of disbelief is your friend, and it's still a great show. My weekends will miss them.

I might point out that the new Apple laptops have ALL of their ports on one side, opposite the optical drive. The previous configuration has critical ports on opposite sides of the laptop and the optical drive on a third side - not ideal for docking. The new setup still gives you access to the optical drive when the laptop is docked.

Not to mention those tapered edges would make it even easier to slide into a square hole...
