"a machine that has 64 sockets with a total of 16,384 threads and supporting 64TB of main memory. Like the rest of you, I am dying to know if the Solaris 11 kernel has been tweaked to do this already"

why? what possible use could this knowlege have?

I propose a fix... REDUPE

Clearly what's needed here is a redup() function to fix these nasty dedup()'d blocks.

I always thought dedup was a nasty communist plot to dilute our precious bodily fluids.

I'm off to patent redup(), before netapp claims they thought of it first.

prejudiced?

Seriously, pointing out that the machine is far more expensive than the wintel competition isn't prejudice, it's just a plain fact, so get over it. Clearly it seems the reviewer is a Apple apologist and feels the need to come out fighting with this assertion. As it stands - and reading the other comments - the price IS the sole interesting fact about this latest Apple notebook offering. The rest of the stats are just a list of parts that will fit in the case of the specified dimensions and do the required job for the sort of people who will buy this thing.

Is it too much to ask for an actual review conducted over a few days using actual proper demo kit, and by a reviewer capable of neutrality?

rice beer

The american budweiser is made with rice, FFS. How is that even a beer?

clapping?

isn't there an app for that, then?

how do you actually use it though?

OK so it's a large ipod touch. So I could (if I owned one) pick up an ipod touch with one hand and operate the touch screen with the other hand. This thing is a lot bigger though... so where does it go? flat on a table? flat on your lap? Sorry but my neck isn't up to craning over at that angle.

surely..

..another year before the decade is over?

nit pick

T1 topped out at 1.4Ghz actually.

17GB?

"The lower capacity models - 1, 2, 4, 8, 17 and 32GB"

Much as I love prime numbers, surely this is wrong?

Stop it with the soap operas already.

Sorry if you like eastenders, Sarah. Perhaps put down the browser and get a copy of "OK"?

I only read Ted's articles because of the swearing and stuff, and this doesn't have much at all. What's up Ted, got told to clean it up?
