Out of this list I'd go for a DB9 any day. Or a Nissan GTR if it was on the list!

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20081228/ts_nm/us_time_seconds I think I will be taking an extra swig out of the nearest bottle!? How about you!?

Umm yeah, errr whatever you say. I am sure at least YOU understand what you are on about. Sorry, life is too short to respond to this kind of nonsense so I will not do so again.

If you follow the thread carefully you will figure out that the original poster asked me a direct question. My post was relating to that question so in fact my Off Topic indicator wasn't actually required. In fact your post was MUCH further Off Topic than mine and yet you did not indicate it as such.

Food for thought. http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008/12/apple-...t-ipod-touch-hd

:D

Yeah - it's called an iPhone. ;-P

House party at mine. I have yet to speak to ANYone who is actually going out!!

No I have never used OSX86 but I can see it works fine on CERTAIN HARDWARE, I also know that it isn't as simple as just burning an ISO and bunging into any PC hardware and off you go. Handpicked hardware like Anees used maybe, although you miss out on goodies like the multi-touch trackpad, backlit keyboard, display port, 8.0211n, gigabit ethernet etc. Like Kazi mentioned, it does take some effort and doesn't always work. I suspect that with Snow Leopard and the OpenCL implementation OSX86 will have some serious issues since I suspect Apple will tailor the Open CL to their own graphics cards to some extent and this MAY render PC's with different graphics processors unable to utilise Open CL. Open CL is the new open standard driven by Apple alongside Open GL. It will utlise clock cycles from idling GPUs to take the pressure of the CPU. We should see some serious performance increases on all existing machines. Good stuff. Still, I agree it is a great solution for experts who wish to tinker and for getting OS X running on non-Apple form factors. As far as Netbooks and Apple are concerned? hmmmmm I am not convinced about the demand for these yet. Battery life / performance / size? hmmm There are mumblings about a Mac netbook in 2009 and it's certainly a possibility however if I had to bet on it I would say "Yes, but not yet!" Total cop out answer i know! lol

Nice project! Kudos for achieving it. Will be interested to see what happens when you try and update OS X to 10.5.6 (the current)... I suspect you are running OSX86 or whatever it's called that as far as I know only supports up to 10.5.4? This setup is not easy to achieve for the average user. It is not a viable commercial solution. Also there are MANY issues with the OSX86 project. Yes you CAN get a bastardized version of OS X working but let's not pretend everything works as it should and you can just plug in peripherals and go like on the Mac... It is in fact breaking the Apple EULA and so kind of not actually a legal solution... Hope no one at Apple drives a Lexus! ;) It seems an awful lot of work to achieve what a Mac can do legally and without issues out of the box, but a great way for PC users to experiment with the world's best OS before they get their Mac. ;) Nice to see that you choose OS X as default though, but I wouldn't rely too heavily on it running under your solution. I have to agree with your title - it is indeed the best laptop Apple never made! :)

Nice one Stav. A tiny USB stick to turn my Mac into a Sky+ box. Curb Your Enthusiasm - DVD box set - yay! Stephen King - The Dark Tower, Book 3. Hardback. To replace the one the cat chewed up! WHAT an amazing epic story. The Dark Tower, not the cat chewing... Socks. Always socks. Happy New Year to all!

Go ahead. I think you will find answering a question on topic isn't against the rules. You ban was 100% your own achievement and nothing to do with me. Happy Christmas!

Nah, not really. :)

iBoobs The best app yet!? But Apple rejected it! arrghhh! http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/12/23/iboobs/

Yeah some great pics there. Parthiban: Another +1 for shooting in RAW. WHEN you get your Mac you can use Aperture to process and catalogue all your pics diredctly in RAW, no need for compression. http://www.apple.com/aperture/ I love this program and use it all the time

haha nice find!

Hi Bonita! Yeah I am pretty sure it is. Like fish. I was being Alan Partridge for a moment there... ;) I think you will enjoy it! If you don't - send it on to me eh? ;)

Oh yeah. It's DEFINITELY a Microsoft app... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/12/15/mi...ndows_platform/ ;)

Has anyone seen this US series? It's about Larry - the guy who wrote Seinfeld - in his everyday life. Well it's a show about his everyday life and he plays himself you see... ahhh it's actually quite hard to explain!! But it's VERY funny and I highly recommend it. It's also FULL of Lexi. http://www.hbo.com/larrydavid/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curb_Your_Enthusiasm I am hoping for the DVD box set for Christmas! Anyone..? ;)

Reminds me a bit of that scene from Monty Python's "Meaning of Life" Best ad I've seen for years! I'd buy it!
