I saw this ad this weekend on MacDailyNews:

I thought it was interesting how they were promoting blogging as the reason to get a Macbook. Tells you that blogging is getting so mainstream that's it's a reason to buy a computer (or buy a new one.)

You have to pay more for black ):. I'm sad to see the iBook nameplate retired, though-I have fond memories of all the iBooks I've owned, going back to my white and dark grey blue iBook DVD I bought in fall 2000.
