Bah! I say bah! Ubuntu on any laptop makes it sexier than the Air. Macs are for kids.

Okay, mac fans. It’s just getting annoying. Please just logically realize that macs are in no way shape or form any better than windows, and when it comes to linux, it’s blown out of the damn water.
Macs better at anything? HELL NO!

Perhaps mordaxus should be extolling the virtues of his Macbook Air in the next Apple commercial?
Perhaps Macbooks have become aphrodisiacs in the Arab world?
Sadly, I’m going to be purchasing an UMPC to save on cost, although I have had pleasant experiences with MacOS X.

Macs are hot. A few years ago I had the same experience with a new Powerbook G4 and some KLM flight attendants.

Tim, ever actually timed OSX vs Vista for bootup?
Vista is substantially faster, even on Apple hardware (so that effectively removes the hardware equation)
The difference is that OSX encourages the user to standby, whereas prior to Vista, Windows encouraged the user to shutdown.
OSX does appear to come out of hibernation a few seconds faster though, although if those few seconds are enough to make a difference when compared to the length of a flight, might I suggest leaving your laptop in it’s bag?

Reminds me of I think I just watched someone pick up a girl with an iPhone.

By the time Windows boots up or comes out of sleep mode you would of been asked to put it away for landing.

Sorry about the dupe… First request timed out (damn you EVDO), I refreshed and checked, no comments, so then I reposted and now there are two. TWO!

The best part is that once you get tired of air-tail, you can fire up Windows and get some real work done.
