    It's gorgeous, and bizarrely informative (or informatively bizarre?)... but what the hell is its purpose? The Living Light article just calls it a "project". Best I can come up with is art installation to keep people thinking about how they're impacting their local air quality? It's also good for long-term data collection, I guess.

    Seems kinda silly as a daily warning system. People normally have shit to do in certain neighborhoods, so they can't just say, "Oh, air quality's bad in that area today, I guess I won't go," or, "Hey, air quality's bitchin' uptown, think I'll check that out!" Weekends would be another matter, I guess. #livinglight

    That is pretty amazing. I'd love to have something similar to this just hanging in my room, not for this purpose, but it looks like something out of stargate XD

    If anyone would like to let me know how to do the laser etching and such to make glass light up like that, please let me know, DIY FTW! :D #livinglight

    @Jaredu: I'm gonna guess (and not RTFA) that the glass is simply acid etched. The glass panels are then made to light up like that by putting LEDs on the edge of the glass. #livinglight

    @Jaredu: [www.wootenmetal.com]

    They can laser etch any vector or raster image into anything from plate steel to blue jeans. They can also do glass. Oh, and if anyone is interested they told me they can probably do iPhones (I was specifically asking about first gen, not sure how the plastic would hold up).

    After you etch the glass, just end-light it with a LED strip.

    Actually listening to "Music for Airports" in an airport (I recommend DEN's Terminal, or maybe that lighted under-thingy at O'Hare) is an awesome experience.

    An app that generates Music for Airports continuously? Yeah, I bought it before I finished reading the post.

    @ludwigk: I doubt that. The travel of the pad on the other Macbooks isn't far at all. I have no doubt that they can fit the new trackpads into the Air's form factor. My guess is that they're being slow with this like they were slow with the 17" Macbook Pro.

    Considering no reasonable person would consider the Air anyway (The new 13 inch MBP has much better specs for the same price) it doesn't matter much. Although I am interested in seeing what Apple would do in response to this accusation.

    @Hello Mister Walrus: They're well tailored, made with amazing fabric, cut to your body type, and pretty much never go out of style?


    Just because you cannot afford a $2000+ tailored suit doesn't mean you wouldn't look better, feel better, and want to own one. Hell, owning such a suit is one of my life goals. Not because I care what other people think of my suit, but because I care what I think of my suit.


    When you're wearing an Armani, people KNOW it's an expensive and very nice suit. Vs, you know, you bought the cheapest thing you could to interview in at Men's Warehouse.

    Now, I don't know about you, but I have MANY life goals. Some are materialistic, some are purely silly, and others are philanthropic.

    I guess that the lower-end Air (which comes in at the same price as the MSI refurbed) would've been the better machine to compare it to, but I suppose the numbers would still be in its favor by a wide margin.


    What a terrible attempt by MSI. No matter what people say about Apple, they offer a great deal of quality in fit and finish above some competitors.

    instead of "unemployed mans macbook air" how about, the "average and logical spending persons macbook air" because i have a great job, but i could never find the money to spend 2000 on an air. And that 2000 could go to something more useful...bills

    @Kaiser-Machead: Aye. The review has a strangely maligned conclusion too:


    While not as tailored as the MacBook Air, hey, it's damn close.


    After:


    The X340 is clearly closer to a netbook than the MBA in performance

    I actually have one and it performs adequately for traveling and photography.
