    Neat but there are tiny hubs that do this w/o the possibility of me frying my chipset.

    So let me get this straight, you still can't watch the HD content from iTunes on your MBP through a 30" Cinema HD... god bless DRM, now even Apple stuff doesn't work with a Mac.

    When will people learn that the only thing a macbook is good for, is looking like a hip douchebag while secretly running your linux distro of choice?

    @Moargazm: Considering that Linux is already the OS of choice for self-righteous "counter-counter-culture" geek-chic douchebags, the redundancy would puzzle me.


    Sorry, didn't mean to offend your copy of Insecure Ibex

    @Moargazm: They're also good for identifying douchebags in general. They're either busy berating someone else's choice in computers, or they're busy walking around with their noses stuck up in the air so as to proudly display the dingle berries of El Jobso they've so dutifully collected.

    @Moargazm: I don't know about that. As far as simplicity in running goes, both OSX and Vista, while not perfect, each feature "set it and forget it" simplicity.


    My Avira antivirus is free and runs in the background, very happily updating itself when it needs to. Same with the spyware program. As for firewall, it's built into my router. If there is an update, Vista downloads it in the background (a feature carried over from XP) and installs it by itself, rebooting if necessary. It logs onto the internet automatically when it leaves sleep. There's really very little for me to do but point to the program I want to run and run it.


    My MacBook runs with the exact same level of simplicity. Every so often, the computer tells me there is an update, it downloads it and installs it. It runs slower than my VAIO, but it's also a year older.


    My copy of Ubuntu installed on my Toshiba is rarely used. I just see no real need for it other than to tinker with when I get bored. It doesn't do anything that my Vista-powered VAIO or my Leopard-powered MacBook can't do and between the two, I can run 99% of the programs that I'd ever want to run.


    I hate to break it to you but there is no real marketing angle or advantage for Linux for the average user.
