There's Something in the Air...and it stinks.


Am I the only one who is completely underwhelmed by Apple's latest offering? For months I have been planning my final switch from PC to MAC. The process was hard for a consumer like myself. Sir Reeves has been breathing down my neck for nearly a year and I almost made the leap in November for a Mac Pro workstation that would have easily drained my bank account before Christmas. But in an effort to curb my enthusiasm, I poured over the MacRumors and AppleInsider sites to figure out what Apple might throw at us in this week's MacWorld. I began speculating, like everyone else, that we would see the new MacBook Pro, a new Tower and maybe some new Cinema Displays. Something worth investing in. So imagine my disappointment when today Steve Jobs tells the world that they need to lose some weight and pay 2 grand for the worlds "thinnest" computer that looks sexy only on a naked girl's lap but doesn't even come close to outperforming the already anemic MacBook. "But it has a multi-touch pad!" So fucking what?!? So does your stupid iPhone. You would think with the announcement of the 8-core Mac Pro last week that they would have a huge surprise in store for us. Well, they did. Everyone is surprised when 3 pounds of flaming shit is left outside your door.
