| Review: MacBook Core 2 Duo/2GHz and 2.2GHz
While there's little to visually distinguish these MacBooks from their May 2007 counterparts, there has been a slight keyboard update. New media control keys are now located along the function key row, the same as in the new iMac keyboards. There's no embedded keypad, and the Apple symbol is now gone from the Command key. The unit is slightly lighter at 5 pounds, as opposed to 5.1 pounds. Otherwise, the new MacBooks have most of the same components as their older counterparts. All models ship with 1GB of RAM, a 13.3-inch glossy widescreen display with a 1280 x 800 resolution, built-in iSight camera, built-in stereo speakers and microphone, one FireWire 400 and two USB ports, 802.11n-enabled AirPort Extreme, Bluetooth, Gigabit Ethernet, Apple Remote, and the usual slate of Apple software, including the new Leopard operating system and iLife ‘08.
The perfect man for Heather!
Just as not all gay men were faggots, not all black guys are niggers. The question is whether this is one step toward enlightenment or one step back toward bigotry. I'm inclined to think that, in the younger generation, the use of such terms need not be prima facie case of prejudice. It's quite common, for example, for high school kids to use the word 'gay' to describe anything they don't particularly like. It has no tangible reference to homosexuals - although it hardly bespeaks acceptance. But in general, the use of the term now is far less ominous than it would have been ten years ago. So let the linguistic waves roll and the racial, post-racial epithets mount. And let old Klansmen like Byrd look before they mumble. [Emphasis added.] Busted by John Tabin. ... P.S.: I think the 2001 Sullivan isn't quite priggish enough, actually.

I'll post the photos once I get home. Roger Fisher, a 43-year-old College Park construction builder (above), said he enjoys Schaffer. "He's truthful," he said. "He shoots from the heart. He tells you the way he feels." He said when he heard about what CNN did, "I almost cried." When he watched it, "I had to turn away." He normally listens to talk radio and watchs Fox News but occasionally checks in with CNN "to get the other side."

I do have to say it's so early in HD radio's life, it's hard to say how long it will take to penetrate the mainstream mind.
