No, that's annoy me terribly, too.
Every time I'd see it, I'd feel appalled, especially since it's an Apple thing.
Ah well. If only I had an Apple TV and a nice HDTV to go with it...
It sucks being a 15 year old who only gets £5 a week...
As much as I'd like that all to happen, I doubt the price cuts might.
However, I'd love for the 13" to have a 9600GT considering I'm getting one by next year!
That's what I meant.
Sometimes I want it to be on overnight (downloading something for me, for example) and I don't want it to sleep when I close the lid.
Is there any way of doing this?
At the moment I have an Eee 1000H hackintosh and use SleepLess on Leopard, but I am wondering if Snow Leopard has this feature.
I'd be annoying if it hasn't been included. It's been an option in Windows since at least XP, and SleepLess asks me to buy it every half hour or something.
Hi,
I'm due to be getting my first (official) Mac by the end of this year.
It's going to be a MacBook Pro 13".
Is there a way to get OS X to not shut down on lid close?
Thanks!

Just because you don't, doesn't mean other people don't.
I'll admit, I have a netbook. Which I despise.
It's absolutely pathetically slow and there's nothing I can do about it.
However, other laptops/notebooks I've used can be damn fast.
I have my netbook however to take to school. It's light, thin and it's actually pretty hardy.
I also enjoy it for playing music on, watching videos on and browsing the web on. It has a bigger screen than my iPhone.
A lot of people like laptops because they're portable and can move them around much more easily than a desktop. The laptop concept doesn't need to be redesigned.
Laptops, when given the right hardware, are wonderful machines that contain everything needed in a computing experience.
They can have fast processors, fast RAM and lots of it, big and fast hard drives, a fast optical drive, webcam, powerful graphics, a trackpad and a screen.
Sorry for such a long winded answer, but I just find it annoying when people want things to be redesigned/re-conceived for the sake of it.
Not by the sounds of things.
That's just how the trackpad is.
If they wanted to emulate the MacBook Pro's trackpad, that really is what they should've done, since you can do that on a MBP.
However, don't you just find it easier to tap to click?
No, because they're so 'Apple-biased' they realise people will be using Cmd+R
:P
But really, the only Fn key worth keeping is f5, so it could just be redone with a refresh logo.
Also, I don't hate Apple. Nor do I think Engadget are Apple biased.
Which is exactly why they boosted the specs in the iPhone 3GS...
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
