- I'm done with the MacBook Air (for now)
- I've come to the conclusion that the MacBook Air isn't the best Mac for me. Everything that I've previously written about the MBA still remains true: I love its tiny form factor, light weight and ability to be able to be tucked into almost any bag, but at...

- IM interoperability a must
- One of my biggest pet-peeves about IM services are their proprietary protocols. If you're on AIM/iChat and your friend is on something else (Yahoo, MSN, etc.) you're hosed.
