    As much as I'd love a Core i7 MBP to replace my late 2006 Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz MBP, I'm not touching any laptop upgrade until they come with USB 3.0/Bluetooth 3.0. Anyone looking to upgrade their laptops really needs to be a little patient at a time like now... #corei7macbookpro

    I wonder if they will also go up to 16 gigs of ram or 32.

    Still cant afford them and wont be able to for a while, but can always drool over them. #corei7macbookpro

    I turn on the Today show every morning. I call it "intelligence-validating television" because I always feel like I'm so much smarter than the average Today show viewer after I see what they're covering. If you haven't seen the show, they have a number of repeating segments. There's "child abduction du jour", "household item du jour that will kill you", "Dr. Nancy Snyderman's vaccination message du jour" and "idiotic moron du jour from YouTube or CNN that wants his 15 minutes of fame". When I leave the house, I feel like a million dollars. It's fabulous. #windows7launch

    I think it's kinda good for MS. It shows Win 7 can run on anything. It's also good that Ballmer didn't go crazy because I wouldn't want to read all the articles with crazy Ballmer photophops afterward. #windows7launch

    This is timely. I have a 500GB 7200RPM drive in mine, but never had any issue with it until yesterday, when it started clicking loudly. It's actually not doing it right now, so I probably won't know for a while if this update fixes it.

    If it's clicking, I HIGHLY suggest that you back up all of the data on the hard drive. Sounds like it's about to die to me. #appleperformanceupdate10

    Hasn't appeared in my software updater but will this fix:
    1) My ability to upload a file or photo online (say to Facebook) without the beachball coming up the first time I try?
    2) The Firefox beachball every hour or so?
    3) Mail shutting down if an email is too long?
    4) Mail downloading hundreds of already deleted emails every couple of days?
    5) My capslock light coming on randomly?

    @twoeightnine: I can relate with the first 2 issues, unfortunately. With Leopard I didn't get the beachball very often, but with SL I am getting it about once an hour.

    For the next 2 points, may I recommend not using Mail? In my experience it is a horrible piece of software. Have you tried Postbox?
