I found that out while the machine was on one time. I sit my mbp right near a window and the sun was shining through. However, wasn’t happy at first, from across the room it actually looked like a burn mark in the screen. When I got up (jumped up I should say) I was pleasantly surprised at finding no burn mark, but the apple logo just shining through.

I recently discovered, to my surprise, that on my MBP, when the screen’s brightness is turned down, sunlight (or any direct light) illuminates the inverse of the Apple logo on the screen…. simply amazing

There are many. I still love my iMac G4′s swan neck- where did that come from? It lives on my kitchen worktop and I can’t think of any other computer which could comfortably do the job of displaying a 15″ screen at waist height(!)
I love the pin-prick sized LED charging lights on the side of my unibody mbp and the way they light up in order when you push the invisible button next to them.
The iPhone keyboard has totally changed the input limitations of mobile devices (love the feedback of the letters growing larger when hit)

How about exposé’s animations? (and the fact that to het that é in exposé all I had to do was hold down the “e” key on my iPhone?) I could go on all day… ;-)

Got the solution. Actually I never looked for it, but things are going to get easier now.

I have to change .jpg files from opening up in Opera first. Silly! Why does Opera set that up when it installs?

@Henk Exactly my problem! Is there just no way out of it?

“You obviously weren’t around when OS 9 was killed off for OS X. It’s much nicer now, but in some areas OS X has yet to catch up with its predecessor.”

Speaking of Apple Design: I actually leapfrogged OS 9, going from my NeXT computer (which was my main machine for most of the 90s) directly to an iBook and Panther. There’s a lot design elements taken from NeXTStep, and OS X is an elegant amalgamation of NeXT and a Mac. I felt immediately comfortable in OS X, and between the two OSs I have really only experienced the best in a stable, well-designed computing environment.

WHAT? Those hooks or whatever in the Magsafe adapters were for winding cables?

I wondered what they were for, ever since I got mine.

I thought that those were for hanging the adapter to some overly popular piece of furniture that US/Europe people have all over their houses, so much that Apple thought it a mandatory.
