Poll results: Will you buy a Blackbook?



Now that we've all had 24 hours (approximately) to mull it over and cast our votes, let's look at the results. We asked, "Would you pay the extra $200US for 20GB of disk space and black paint?" Here are the results of our highly unscientific poll:
  • 48% of respondents said "I'm tempted"
  • 30% said "No way in heck"
  • 22% just can't wait, declaring, "I simply must have it!"
I'm with the majority on this one. It sure does look nice, but I can't really justify the expense. Maybe that'll change if I see one in person. To quote a Sting song, "....my logic has drowned in a sea of emotion..."

Rig of the Day: What else?



Picking a rig to highlight this afternoon was pretty easy. Flickr user cdevroe has posted some nice shots of his brand new, not-even-24-hours-old MacBook. In black, no less. We're jealous.

"Macbook" by posted by cdevroe.

If you'd like to see your own rig featured here, simply upload photos into our group Flickr pool. We'll select an image every day to highlight.

Flickr Find: BlackBook unpacking pics

Flickr user pealco has posted unpacking pictures of his pal Rodger's black MacBook. These shots give you a good idea of what the glossy screen is all about, as well as the MacBook's finish. Go and check it out. Just hide your credit card first.

Thanks, Pedro!
