And yes, that headline is much funnier than the hateful climacs.
Well, Apple didn't, but there are third-parties. I've got a Blu-ray drive, and I've got some Blu-ray blank disks, dual-sided, 50 gigabyte. Now, you can't play Blu-ray movies on them because the hardware is not on the computer yet to play Blu-ray movies, but I didn't get Blu-ray to watch movies on the computer. I have a theater. I've got big TVs. I don't need to watch it on a computer screen. I got it for data transfer and so forth. Anyway, so the Blu-ray is in there and the thing is working just fine and dandy."
So much for people saying things like...
"Just saying he ordered the Mac Pros with Blu-ray tells you he doesn't know WTF he's talking about."
It's a good thing ignorance isn't a crime or there'd be a lot of MacNN jailbirds!
Here is the link to the quote above, not that anyone who "thinks" they know Rush will go visit it, but I am curious to those Rush haters out there and you know who you are, what is the meaning of "Dittoheads"... Just wanting to test your knowledge seeing as you know all about the man, his views and his program!

(that was sarcasm with a drop of truth)
Normally, Apple makes you send it in when ppl on the phone or at the store can't fix it. Too bad they don't do this for more people. It'd set a good example for the industry.
I've never really understood the obsession some have with "celebrity" hardware anyway. Who's cares how many macs he or any other media doink uses?
RE: "people make fun of Limbaugh's addiction problems because he's sanctimonious and doesn't hesitate to call out the failings of others." Is he still addicted to his prescription based medicines? I thought he went to one of those Paris Hilton detox places and cleaned up? Or did you mean for your statement to read... ""people make fun of Limbaugh's past addiction problems", unless you are sure factually that he still has "addiction problems".
