So is the hardware updated in the same fashion as the white Macbook, or is it just dusting off old stock? If it's the former, then that's not such a bad thing. I always thought the polycarbonate iMac looked rather nice.
@Kaiser-Machead: they're probably just dusting off old stock. if they didn't bother to update to aluminum it's doubtful they updated the internals - especially taking into consideration that the inside of the polycarbonate frame might be designed differently to accomodate older hardware.
@evangelistc01: Possibly, but I was just considering the fact that the white Macbook is of equal spec to the baseline aluminum Macbook for significantly less money, so I thought it was a possibility. 'Tis a pity, but overall it's still a nice machine.
@whootowl: I still love my E815 from Motorola. It was the last phone Moto phone Verizon sold without substituting it's own firm/software. If the Bluetooth hadn't been dead, I'd still be using it.
This isn't on topic at all, but this has been going on for a week and I've emailed a couple of times... Is it just me, or is everyone seeing this type of advert? They are nauseating! What is Gawker coming to if you have to subject your readers to this crap?
@willy: It's on the "Report a bug" page(link at the bottom of all Gizmodo pages). From previous complaints I have read there about this, occasionally ads like this slip through the cracks and get displayed on the pages. Once Gawker gets a report, they block those ads.
@McRib_GitEmSteveDave: You're assuming that she would be informing people of their lay-offs/firings (doubt it, since I'd guess she's more tech-oriented than a personel-wrangler position), _and_ that she won't be getting the same letter that you got (don't know what she does there, or how downsize-proof her job is, so I have no idea how likely that is).

But, like you, I decided not to post my brilliant prognosticating in the previous thread.

I didn't pick you! I promise!

Bleargh. I suppose, in a weird and horribly ironic sort of way, it provides you with a certain amount of job security.
