    While this corrupted graphics issue does suck, why do you post such crap Giz?


    "Patch that does not mention problem X does not address problem X?" Seriously? In other news, tomato soup does not cure migraines, and Kobe Bryant still does not improve your gas mileage. Outrage!

    @ludwigk: Because people, including us, were hoping that it did fix it, but was just unmentioned in the changelog.

    You'd figure after spending a 100 dollars for an ADAPTER that it should work properly.

    @daftrok: lol.


    You know, the $30 adapter still exists, and for the most part, users are not going to be hooking up their Macbooks to dual-link DVI externals.

    Sure, but shouldn't those who *want* to do this be able to?

    @Franklin Comes Alive!: True enough. I just find this $100 fixation a bit funky.

    @Kaiser-Machead: Because its a lot of fucking money for an adapter that only works properly on one series of monitors.


    In the PC world, we can take our adapters to anything that will fit it.

    @diabolusunknownTheSecond: Well, that's sort of true. I installed a video card that was bit too advanced for my mobo, so it didn't position properly on one of the monitors it was hooked to. VGA was perfect, but DVI gave me a bright pink line about 2mm wide on one side. Had to downgrade. Moral is, compatibility is a little more complex than "does it fit?"

    One thing I learned when I was a Mac user, don't ever purchase rev. A hardware. Let everyone else be the beta testers.

    @Dafrety: that seems to be very true. Every first gen product has some kind of serious error that takes forever to fix. As attractive as I find the new MacBook, I wouldn't buy one for at least another 6 months.


    That said, with the hardware bump on the $1000 Macbook (white) it seems like that might be the best way to go right now. Basically the same hardware, including the graphics chip, but $300 less.

    Seriously, does Apple test their products before shipping?
