What is Digg?45 Comments
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Wow!
An overpriced, power hungry x86 Intel machine that runs 95%+ of your software at 1/3 native speed!
Congrats!
I'm sure the x86 world is going to be knocking down Apple's door for these babies... - Elxx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1ZOMG!!!11111
Tomorrow I'll post the First Unboxing of this nice box of Honey Nut Cheerios here. Just add "MacBook" or some other Mac-related buzzword to the description, and I guarantee you these minions will digg it. - farr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Funny, my $1400 Gateway beats this machine in every category he listed. He says its too hot for his lap, loads itunes in mere "seconds", and gets "almost 3 hours" of battery life...
What a champ of a laptop.
My laptop stays a comfortable temperature on my lap even playing intense games for 4 hours, gets ~4 hours of battery life, and doesn't load itunes too slow either...
Yeah, I think I'll keep my "dull little box". - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2The!!! article!!! isn't!!!!!! worth!!!!! all!!!! those !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11) Posting your own blog on Digg is weak.
2) Using exclamation points to that degree is weak.
3) Posting low-res phone pics is weak.
and finally,
4) Sharing with the world, your ability to unpack a laptop computer is really weak. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0musicbear said "I still say wait a few revisions...

jealous..."
Yeah, exactly. Like Kevin Rose, I bought mine only six or eight months ago and I have no intention of going for a MacBook. Not now, at least. I'll wait until my PowerBook no longer handles the things I need to do on a portable and then I'll consider going for a MacBook. That way when I pay $3,200 for it, I won't be paying to be a beta tester.
Let these other guys suffer the kinks and screwups and wait until Apple flushes out all the big problems. :) - thetrav, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Pictures suck, and I've already seen many albums of people unboxing their MacBookPro's...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Nice, only thing different thing I would do is install Linux.
http://aljitech.com/ Digg's Arcade - supersteve, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0cool i want one, but i just got a Power Mac G5 so i'll have to wait a while.
- musicbear, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I still say wait a few revisions...
hmmmph...
jealous... - CLIFFosakaJAPAN, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very Poor quality photos = (
- lukas88, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hmmm, do a /checksocialstatus and let me know of any improvements
- ejstacey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Lame
- wbrendel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I wish the pictures weren't so blurry... not bad though, +digg
- drbroccoli, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ZOMG UNBOXING!

"As for 'youareretarded', it was NOT posted before - I just typed this up this morning. If you would actually READ the entry and not spend your time counting to 5 over and over again, you'd see that."
Maybe you should use the search box in the upper right corner of the page. It most definitely HAS been posted already and with MUCH better pictures (several times even). - chicken101, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0We just saw the unpackaging of a 1.83 ghz macbook pro. Same thing people. Hopefully tomorrow we won't see the "first unpackaging of a 2.13 ghz macbook pro!!!!!!"
- ,,|,_, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0As a test, I would like to see how well the packaging holds up in route to a second shipping destination. Please re-box the thing and then IM me for my shipping address ;-)
- skydivingdutch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0your camera should have a macro button
- MrKite, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0whoopdie doo!!!!!!!!!!
- TomPetty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0with all the other "unboxing" postings around the net with DECENT photos -- why add this one to the mix?
- gamekid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"The!!! article!!! isn't!!!!!! worth!!!!! all!!!! those !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "ZOMG UNBOXING!" "whoopdie doo!!!!!!!!!!"
All seconded. I'll report Lame any story for using more than 5 exclamation points without mentioning either:
a) Lindsay Lohan,
b) The Guardian Legend,
c) Lindsay Lohan in a remake of The Guardian Legend (with same skimpy dress),
or
d) that the Apocalypse is actually coming in one week, and that the link has posted pictures of two of the four horsemen.
ONE of those four (or prior written permission) must apply for me to not Lame a story with more than five !'s. - ventro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+03 hour battery life? That sucks. Have you tried testing how long the battery lasts with the brightness down and all the power saving options turned on?
- VaporBro, on 10/26/2007, -0/+0Pics suck. Unboxing sucks. No one really cares. Better "unboxing" digg last night. lame with around 5 million of these !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!yousuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- ravuya, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Thanks for the news on the battery life; how does OpenGL performance compare, particularly in applications with GLSL? I think Quartz Composer (part of the dev tools) comes with a few GLSL applications that you can test shader performance with.
I'm primarily wondering if the new video card is properly supported by 10.4.5 yet, or if it's kind of a waste of power because of drivers. - SystemLord, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/canadastore.woa/72208/wo/7T2Ztw0RM4Hs3EEIGxutgPBxoui/0.SLID?nclm=PowerBook&mco=E6759AB2
$2000 just to start bathing in the basics. Something worth braging about will cost you well over $3000. I am glad Steve Jobs things everyone has as much money as he does. Don't think I'll be converting anytime soon.
PS. I hate that slogan. "What's a new Intel chip doing in a Mac? A whole lot more then it's ever done in a PC". Ya tryed it was playing D3D video games and running all of the Mac unsupported software. Perhaps the real transparency of the switch comes for those users that bought a computer to play Solitaire on their evenings off. - MikhoohkiM, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Everyone how got one of these should get to be on the front page!
come on mac fans post your unpacking of your newest mac on digg!
sorry no digg ;-) - f00xx0riz3r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Awesome post. I love the blur effect on several of those photos. It actually makes the apple look even nicer.
More blur for the win. - cusoman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0CAPS LOCK and exclamation points are cruise control for awesome!!!
- CptnObvious, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Its bad enough that one unboxing was posted on digg and got on the front page. Now another in the same day?!?!?! WTF!
+lame - youareretarded, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"As for 'youareretarded', it was NOT posted before - I just typed this up this morning. If you would actually READ the entry and not spend your time counting to 5 over and over again, you'd see that."
Really? What's this link here that was posted three ***** days ago!?!

NO DIGG! - comrademikhail, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0yeah, this is dumb! We don't care! Reported as lame.
- elroy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0snoop: and what would you be doing under linux that you couldn't under darwin?
- Googled, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I'm sure I saw this last night, or is it a different story?
- DigiDT, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0*yawn*
It looks like the old Powerbooks. Big effin deal. - securitymonkey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Sorry about the pics, I only had my Treo available. I wasn't expecting it to be delivered today - Apple told me Thursday.
As for 'youareretarded', it was NOT posted before - I just typed this up this morning. If you would actually READ the entry and not spend your time counting to 5 over and over again, you'd see that. - ketha, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0-Nice, digg!
- securitymonkey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0@dodger2020 "it ... has been posted already..."
I actually thought that he meant that I kept re-posting MY story as opposed to the topic. My bad. You never know what you're going to get when you post to Digg... =) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Wasn't this same thing already posted yesterday?
- donsherio, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0...
U know u suck at taking pictures when...
ever heard of prefocusing? macro? taking a step back?!
Honestly, im sure u looked at these photos before u uploaded them. We dont want to see ur crap photos of a power plug. Nice macBook tho ;) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0no digg...
too many of these and too many exclamation marks.. - chewbaccapits, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0great fuzzy pictures....

You do that. - mcbesq, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Congratulations. You're a tool. No digg for inane posts.
- youareretarded, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0Reported as spam!
It's been posted before and no one cares about your damn blog!
Here a little piece of advice though, upgrade your crappy camera before posting pics of a $1000+ laptop.
