    i5 on 15", i7 on 17".

    You just know Jobs is going to smirk after saying that on stage.

    PS - I'm getting that i7 on 17" MacBook Pro, or else.

    My guess is that anyone who paid for the mid to low range Macbook Pros would not have spent enough money to get the i(whichever) option, much like the iMac. This is just a guess, but I don't suppose the C2D will just go away. The i5/i7 will probably start off being the tipety-top 15" and 17", if not just the 17" by itself, so don't feel too bad, all you folks that spent at or below $2k, at least not yet :P

    At the very least, the nicer C2D procs in the top end models will get pushed to the lower orders for the same money in their respective tiers.

    I've been holding off on pulling the trigger for a MacBook Pro to replace my aging PowerBook for a while now. I guess I can wait a few more months..

    @Jrsy Devil's Advocate®: I've been waiting 5 years with my VAIO.

    Sadly we are right before the USB 3.0 or Lightpeak versions (probably in a year), but I can't wait any longer.

    The MacBook Pro is likely to be updated in February, based on history and the fact that it's always wise to wait for kinks in manufacturing to be knocked out during the first production runs of chips.

    I knew there was a reason I was holding out on buying a new laptop. Hopefully the Core i5s will make it into a slew of laptops at a reasonable price. They're worth it for their decreased power consumption and heat alone, the increase in power via speed or hyperthreading is just an added benefit.

    That said, does OS X take advantage of hyperthreading yet?

    @Nathan Obbards: According to the iMac core i7 Benchmarks ([gizmodo.com]) Mac OSX is doing pretty well with multi- and hyperthreading.
    Other apps don´t benefit that much.

    @BobotheTeddy: Yeah, I was wondering if other applications other than the OS and native programs took advantage of it yet.

    @Nintenboy01: I thought some of the i5s had hyperthreading, just not all of them.

    In reply to Database Created by FCC for Devices Using White Space Spectrum
    Well, technically speaking, the FCC only issued a notice looking for database administrators, so we are still a bit of a ways off from seeing a functional database (or actual TV whitespace products). The comment cycle on the proposals doesn't wind up until late Feb., so best case for a decision actually appointing an administrator is probably summer, and it will take some time for the administrator to actually open its doors for business... So... don't hold your breath.

    The 's' is for a more efficient processor (usually slightly underclocked). They run cooler (and therefore quieter) and are used mainly in slimline and HTPC models.

    What's up with the codenames? I don't want my computer powered by a Bloomfield, I want it powered by a Desert Storm or something cool sounding like that.

    I think Apple just rather pay exclusiveness for their chips to avoid the hackintosh situation.

    I do wish this isn't truth, for hackintosh is doing a heaps of promotion of OSX amongst the geeks, And could be the best way to make people convert to the mac enviroment.

    @ridgecity: I dont think Intel would want to restrict its CPUs like that. ATM apple does have exclusive CPUs at launch before the other cos get them in a couple of months.

    If they hate hackintoshing they can always bring back the power pc lol!

    Oh no! Are you quite sure? Marked with an "S", no less? It does portend rather ominously, does it not? I think I will have to sit down and have a cup of tea on this startling revelation!

    It's a bit of a letdown on the gulftown, but it could just as easily be the case that they're simply already "reserved" by Apple.

    there had better be some good deals when the Windows 7 RC starts shutting down. It's so much easier to just buy a new laptop than deal with an OS install.
