Waste time with the MacBook Pro VR
I'm
incredibly impatient, and there's nothing worse than eagerly waiting for a brand new speedy computer that's scheduled
to arrive at your door in just days.To kill time and ease the pain, I've taken a liking to playing with the MacBook Pro's QuickTime VR at Apple's website. Sure, it's a bit excessive and quite literally the virtual equivalent of tech pr0n, but it's a perfect way to build up excitement and admire the beauty that is MacBook Pro before you're fortunate enough to actually have one.
Hours of fun -- and you can get some great-looking angles.
Don't thank me. I'm just doin' my job.

schoolboy error ;-)
But then again, the design and composition of the macbook pages on apples site seem a little more amateurish than the others. The black background really doesn't help.
I think you should create a new category called pr0n and put this under it. :-P
Thanks for pointing it out.
Very cool, thanks! ;-)

It's eagerly awaiting a computer that's scheduled to arrive at your door in a few *weeks* :(
Best post ever! :)

I think this is another one of those things (like the speed upgrade) that Apple isn't letting us know so that it is that much better press when it is released.
