If an optical drive was included, it by no means can be so thin (even if a slot- loading mech. is used).

Re: Macworld Conference and Expo 2008
I did, & I did predicted it with a small HD.
All my predictions came true...even arya said it...

No drive is fine, with something like this...I can deny an optical drive myself, it's not like I use it all the time & since Mac applications are not available usually in market so that problem is also solved.
Multitouch is awsome, this is where even I would say "Multitouch done right"...
Oh well...wireless notebook mouse rox anyday for me.

Re: Macworld Conference and Expo 2008
Things I predicted correctly, which first arya said "U nailed it GX" but after all coming true he said " u just wrote the rumors"...lolz
It's so easy to predict Apple these days.
It did come true
It did come true
It did come true
It did come true
It did come true other then 16 GB iPhone.
Nope, no such release.
It did come true, let's see...Ultra Portable without optical drive, SSD as option which will make it quite costly. Small HD like that of iPod,...multitouch...well, do u macboys want me to analyse & predict for Macworld 2009???
, trust me...it will also come true...I got 6th sense...lolz
It did come true
Hmm.,.not today.
But manan predicted about Apple TV correctly.
6 out of 8 came true....damn, I really should apply for Mac genius award now.
Remote Disc is nothing but a CD drive shared on the network either wireless or Wired. It was availalbe on computer since ages.

Re: Macworld Conference and Expo 2008
Let's see now....
Apple TV Take 2, seems like a copy of Slingbox to me. Too bad it won't stream to Windows Mobile or Symbian OS or Blackbarry device....Apple TV Take 2 is still behind sling box which works with anything & not just Apple. But still good enough for those who want to stay in Apple world.
Time Capsule...doesn't that sounds like NAS.????? Kudos to Apple for creating such a slim & good "hardware" though, which is all I hail Johny Ive for.
Wait, I thought Jobs said "Mac don't crash, they don't have virus", they why worry about backing up *gigasmilies.googlepages.com/24.gif. Oh! it's just another product Apple wants to sale now...*gigasmilies.googlepages.com/10.gif
So...Apple is now officially giving those feature which they skipped last time saying "People don't need these", which were already available from 3rd party apps. So, Apple is just copying from the innovation of 3rd Party apps & saying "It's Apple's innovation"
Google Maps like GPS in iPhone. Hmm...I am using this on my K750i already using Google Maps java app, but still...better late then never.
Customising the Home screen, dragging icons...hmm summerbord hack anyone.
They want people to pay for simple features now which should be given by free upgrade *gigasmilies.googlepages.com/24.gif...lolz...only Apple can find such innovative way to extort money.
The only hardware worth notcing was Macbook Air, which totally pwned Arya's prediction that Apple won't release it...lolz..it comes without an Optical Drive, but that can be sacrifesed, as we usually don't need optical drives that much. Multitouch keypad is awsome...*gigasmilies.googlepages.com/38.gif. Oh & seems like it has no user replaceable battery.
Mac platform is not Windows, Mac users like to pay for tv shows or buy movies off iTunes paying high money or downloading via torrent instead of watching from Physical DVDs. Most of the Apple application & software can be bought online & then can be downloaded, so skipping an Optical Drive won't affect the Mac platform, but comon....$99 for an external DVD writer that too 8X,*gigasmilies.googlepages.com/14.gif, external DVD drives cost $60 on newegg...Apple really knows innovative ways to extort money. Hey Apple, how do I install Leopard back in case I have to. I don't have an optical drive.
Now if you have an external Harddisk of 100 or more GB then obviously you won't miss the optical drive. Remote Disc is nothing but a CD drive shared on the network either wireless or Wired. It was available on computer since ages.

Yep. That's some lame stuff, charging for software updates.
Now, isn't Office 2008 released today?

You realise that it is a specially designed one right? It's really slim, USB powered (which explains it's speed) and must be having the same aluminum finish. All that adds to the cost.

Re: Macworld Conference and Expo 2008
U r getting a laptop that costs 1800.00 but has no optical drive, no 2nd usb port, no ethernet capability and probably no upgradability? For that price optical drive & LAN cable should have been inluded....guess what, you have to pay more for a USB Lan adapter using which will occupy your only USB port...
So to use Macbook Air properly pay atleast $2300 in total for everything

Re: Macworld Conference and Expo 2008
The Macbook Air is supposed to be a companion notebook Mr. I dont' think it's intended to be your one and only notebook. So having an optical drive is definitely optional. Plus, if you look at the optical drive pics, you'll agree (well, not YOU literally) that it's worth the premium.
Though I will agree, the Macbook Air does miss out on an an aweful lot. 2 USB ports + Ethernet are a must.
