If not, I have several other options to choose shrek the halls donkey but I would like to get one of the MacBook Pros. The only question is whether Apple puts out a machine on the 14th that meets my specific requirements. But, Im definitely NOT buying now even I can hold out 9 though barely. take it from me! whatever you do, DONT BUY NOW!!!! you know what i did, i finally gave in to my gut feeling and bought my CD MBP, only to have the new C2D MBPs be released 5 days later: smart just wait hahaha. whatever you do, DONT BUY NOW!!!! you know shrek the halls donkey i did, i finally gave in to my gut feeling and bought my CD MBP, only to have the new C2D MBPs be released 5 days later: smart just wait hahaha. Its killing me to keep waiting for the actual release of new notebooks that may or may not have the features I need in a new notebook, when theres dozens of Wintel models I could get today that I know meet my needs likely dont look as cool, not officially supposed to run OS X, etc, but still available, and quite well specd. Its driving me crazy although mostly because I really needed a new notebook about a month ago and this is the first time Ive really paid any attention. Crazy small interwebs, huh? Hows it going? BTW, I dont know how everybody puts up with this Apple secrecy with each new product launch. i know that physical media is still going to be around for a while, it serves great for the movie sector, backup sector and many other areas. ill admit you have shown me a bit of light, the current internet cannot support anything. As I recall they got so many downloads that they needed to restrict it to prevent the internet from stalling? Not the best example, but it shows what would happen if everyone starting downloading continuously. The best easy to place example I can think of is look at what happened when Microsoft offered Longhorn for download. I just get a little aggravated when it seems people think you could stop selling physical media tomorrow, move to online downloads and think the world will be a happy place. thus complimenting my arguement that the torrent society is large and shrek the halls donkey a big impact on sales.
heeeeeeps of people would have borrowed from friends, or gotten them from another source, if it werent for torrents. How many of those people would have copied movies from their friends, or bought them from the local pub, if the torrents werent about? the downloading of files doesnt reduce the quality!!!!! it is the compressing of the files that reduces the quality, you can get full quality DVD rips, BR rips etcetc off the internet no problems. And also with regards to your torrent argument. There is a reason the Blu-Ray disks can hold over 20GB of data.
