YAR! That's gonna replace the whale in my nightmares.
If it wasn't for so many good TV shows coming out recently, I'd be more concerned about the state of cinema. But, with the rise in prices and marginal quality in the actual experience, and on top of it all, so many movies being absolute dreck, I can happily settle for the next season of Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Walking Dead and so forth and be content with the episodic format for the time being.

Heck, look at some of the shit being made now. I don't know whether to laugh or pour a 40 for it.

I wouldn't say it's over. On Stranger Tides is still fairly recent. I thought it was over after At World's End.
When I tried the raw diet, I had to look up a good number of foods to replace what I used to eat, and I learned to love the avocado all over again, though too much of that is not all that great for you either.
So is this supposed to mean that being vegan somehow unlocks unfathomable sexual amaze-balls that possibly compels the girl to stagger off pantsless to buy produce?

PETA's such a gaggle of sanctimonious goofwads. They don't even offer no-kill shelters. There's so many ways they could've conveyed the message, rather than showing that being a vegan turns you into a violent jackhammer in the sack. I guess being tasteful and informative is not really PETA's bag.

It's always funny to me how people assume that being vegan is automatically healthy, when you can still consume excess fats, sodium and so forth.
I blame seizure-inducing anime.
Well, which one is planning to dispatch a planet we've never heard of? That's really the only way to tell.
I'd be sure to take that pillow with me. That bastard's not getting off that easy.
The pillow should just emit a calming psychotropic gas instead. (in case nibbles strikes) [chzmemebase.files.wordpress.com]
I can do that with my current Macbook Pro, but I have to consider what my prospects are when it's time to upgrade. If Apple removes the optical, the likelihood of having the ability to expand the storage the same way is probably very poor.
The added complexity of a second hard drive is negligible. There's nothing terribly burdensome in terms of engineering and design to simply add a second hard drive. It didn't make it extremely difficult for the Mac Mini, so it's safe to assume that it wouldn't be extremely difficult for the Macbook Pro.

I don't want the internet as my secondary hard drive. I have online accounts for archiving, but I also want the extra room for content for offline use as well.

I really hope that they keep the standard design drives in there. The thing I love so much about this laptop of mine is that adding a new hard drive is relatively cheap and easy. If I want, I could even remove this optical and replace it with a hard drive. A much bigger Macbook Air seems very likely, but I sure as hell hope that doesn't happen.
I changed my mind on the Ethernet in my edit after reconsidering it.
no more optical drives, and no more Ethernet port and FireWire

No optical seems like something most likely to happen, but I would not phase this out on the bigger machines just yet. HOWEVER, this could provide a nice little opportunity to take advantage of the extra space. If you take away the optical, you have to provide the option to put a second hard drive. I would take the second hard drive in a heartbeat. You're going to have to throw more than just lighter weight and slimmer form factor to make its removal meaningful.

I guess I can deal with no Ethernet, as I almost never use mine, but requiring another dongle could knock off points.

I can see no Firewire, but no Firewire would be much nicer if that came with USB 3 as the tradeoff.

For the most part, if the ports are going to get simplified, the one thing that I'd really love to see is a bit of a redesign in the USB layout. One of the Macbook Pro's most irksome flaws is how close they are together. If you remove the Firewire and Ethernet ports, they should be farther apart, aside from being greater in number.

The huge trackpad doesn't really make sense to me. For the most part, the big trackpad on the Macbook line does such a great job, I don't see how that extra space would really be terribly practical.

Hallmark's going to train a male model to kill Malaysia's prime minister. I just know it.
I always insisted that the Care Bears should've just iced Professor Coldheart with a shot from the Care Bear stare, but no. Stupid pacifists. Now look what's happened.
I guess I should see what happens to my art when totally shit-faced.
I dunno, I thought I was being too cynical, lol
