Some of their complaints are ridiculous. I mean, 3G?
And about the 3G stuff, I might have gotten confused with a cell phone technology, which is what made me go huh?
Oooooooooooo sweet! I can't wait till that gets to Mexico!It is cellphone technology But more and more notebooks are actually including built-in 3G capability so that the notebook can be connected to the Internet all the time - global Wi-Fi!
I'm still trying to figure out the target audience.
LOL! Well, yeah, that was given, but I was looking beyond that (in my foolishness).People who love Macs despite all and will not care to shell out more than a few hundred bucks for something that only looks cool?
If there was such a thing, I probably would be, lol. I think I even still have some floppies from my old Quadra desktop somewhere I could use with it. (I kind of miss floppies. The computer never spit those out at me because I got finger prints on them)Admit it, Hope, you're really drooling for a Macbook Aircraft

- Video Analysis and Content Extraction - software to automatically identify faces, events and objects in video
- Tangram - A system that wants to create surveillance and threat warning system that evaluates known threats and finds unknown threats to issue warnings ahead of an attack
- Knowledge Discovery and Dissemination - This tool is reminiscent of the supposedly-defunct Total Information Awareness program. It seeks to access disparate databases to find patterns of known bad behavior. The program plans to work with domestic law enforcement and Homeland Security.
