"So now they can charge hipster fanboys out the ass for the latest technology, and inflate their smug sense of satisfaction?"Did you ever read your own comment any or by other Windows fanyboys? You know how much of a smug ass h**e you are seem like right now? I rarely at all if any see that level of smugness from any Mac fanboy."Doesn't seem bad to me. I mean, if they want to pay 3x what someone paying for the same performance from Dell or a Whitebox manufactor pays, not my problem. Helping the economy, you know?"When I bought my MBP I was comparing it to a Windows based laptop and it was only $400 more. And that $400 is well worth it, the Mac is well designed and not cheap plastic and also if I have any problems I can call someone in America that speaks english and no some one in India that hates Americans.
1996 called and they want their nonsensical reasoning back:"The Mac is not a serious computer""Why not?""You can't play games on it"
Wait, why does the OS have to support them? Can OSX not just use drivers from ATI to run any card, as long as you have a slot for it? Forgive me of being ignorant of OSX's driver system, but considering OSX86 can run so much hardware that OSX doesn't already support, it seems like this should be a non-issue. It'd be like saying PCs are going to support some new ATI card about to be released.
It's becoming unbearable to read the comments on Digg. The front page is always an assortment of very similar topics, each of which has a limited array of BRILLIANT comments that people can't wait to share. Every time I happen to come across an Apple article I have to brace myself for the 20 geniuses who can't wait to say something along the lines of "LOL STUPID MAC FANBOYS CAN'T WAIT TO PAY OVER $9000 FOR SOMETHING MICHAEL DELL WOULD HAVE PERSONALLY DRIVEN OVER, GIVEN THEM FOR FREE AND THEN SUCKED THEM OFF JUST FOR GOOD MEASURE!" stfu. God damn...
People are excited about this because it would seem to indicate Apple is going to release some Core i7 machines soon. And presumably they might be interested in buying them.Why do people have a problem with that? So you wouldn't buy a Mac. Okay, great. That doesn't mean you have to crap on everyone who might.
Maybe BR disc support will be in the *next* patch. Although I've been telling myself that since it was rumored for 10.5.6 and then many of the patches before that. Surely it's top of the list for OSX devs?
So this means Apple is going to be only one generation behind everyone else? Impressive stuff.Available now at NewEgg: Radeon 4870 Mac Edition - only $499Play both your favorite Mac games at 13,000 FPS.

A computer with a powerful video card completely replaces any need for an xbox360, PS3, or wii.So yes, playing games on your PC is useful.

Wouldn't it be news if Windows 7 DIDN'T support hardware?
