      All this being said, I don't think the new Macbooks are designed to be opened up

      Just to comment on this, the macbook pro's still have replaceable ram and hard drives, however the ram on the airs is soldered down.  You can replace hard drives on the air, but it will void the warranty as apple does not consider it a consumer serviceable part.

        Thanks for the info, I'm thinking of getting a new MacBook in the next year. Not because I have to, because I'm a nerd

          Totally not aimed at Chris or anyone else, but I find the "I hate Apple" brigade to be even more annoying than the "I love Apple" brigade. They make consumer electronics, buy them or not, just stop sexualising the company either positively or negatively.

            I'm allergic to apples. True story. Also: my first PC lasted for 10 years. My "new" one is two years old and I'm gonna try and break the record with it…

              Sorry to hear that.  Apples are wonderful.  I especially love Honeycrisp apples.  They're delicious.  Pink Lady and Jazz apples are pretty awesome, too.

              And my technological curse had extended to another day-

              Sure it's just a cheap point & shoot camera, but it takes good pictures and it's easy to use.  Spiderwebbing the display sucks.

                      I'm looking to grab an air in the next year myself.  Got a 17inch pro two years ago and I love it, it's just a pain in the ass to haul around.

                        Nope, floor is good.  I dropped the camera outside on the concrete while I was taking some pics of my new pair for the HWDC-2.  I was doing a standing denim shot when the breeze picked up.  I grabbed for the jeans, and dropped the camera in the process.  Brilliant move- save the jeans that would be completely unharmed, at the expense of the delicate piece of electronics.

                        Camera still works, so at least it's not a real loss, just an ugly annoyance.

                              Just arrived Friday, and yesterday was Benjamin's birthday party and the laptop crash, so yeah, I was busy.  Sorry.

                              I went with the Studio D'Artisan X's-33 I PM'd you about a while back, Mega.  Really interesting denim on those things.

                                        Nice Chris. I heard NEP weave denim (with the little white looking balls on it) is only done by loom masters because its hard to do.

                                          I'd never heard of neps before seeing this pair, but from what little I read about them, the textile industry tries to eliminate them and considers them serious fabric flaws.  Who knows, maybe my jeans will disintegrate in 6 months of wear.  But that's going to be part of the fun, right?

                                          Oh, and to make this a properly ranty post, I broke something else today- this time it was the toilet seat.  Cheap plastic hinge snapped, so now the lid and the seat are no longer connected and the whole thing is barely attached to the commode.  I'm having one hell of a weekend.
