This thread discusses the Content article: Ubuntu Gutsy on a Macbook - Forget OS X Leopard

I've received a few complaints that this video is sexist because of the wallpaper that is displayed on the desktop. Although that was not the intention, it is a valid point. I should have done half the scenes with an attractive male body wallpaper displayed on the desktop so that it is balanced. Problem is, this is hard to find. "A good man wallpaper is hard to find." (for those of you who are familiar with the quote )

Anyone know of some attractive male wallpaper images that are free or open source?

I am a fond believe in placing obsessive political correction into a cannon and lighting the cord ... just a thought, hehe.

I just bought a Macbook Pro and the weekend and I can honestly say that I adore the little piece of ambrosial machinery Just a fabulous machine

Try spending 8 or more hours doing some hard core developing or website administration without an external mouse. Your thumb and wrists may have a different opinion of the Macbook

Although I don't like the single mouse button and simplified keyboard, I have to admit that Apple makes the best looking laptops. Did you get the one with the LED backlit display?

Lol, you are talking to a hard-core TrackPad user here. I hate thou mouse and just love the trackpad, just suits me far better Then again, my "desk" isn't exactly conventional. A nice comfy double bed with laptop tray lol.

Before I bought it, I was quite worried about how I would cope with the single trackpad button (that massive bar button). Then I discovered there was a 2 finger single tag function for the trackpad for right click, really intuitive and suits my hard-core Trackpad-ness

As for the keyboard, I don't know why they switched from the standard keyboard layout that you see on PC Laptops. I.e. the " and @ have been switched. The # symbol is now alt + 3 instead of its own key near where @ is on PC keyboard. Similarly, the |\ keys have swapped with `~ which is random. Then, next to 1 there is § which seems to have no purpose. I have adapted to the new layout but with # its just annoying, considering I use that key a hell of a lot (CSS stuff etc...). Ah well, can't have everything I guess. Oh, one last thing with the keyboard is the random mini-enter key next to the right CMD button. I would much prefer this to be what it was on Windows (activates the contextual menu) which is something that I miss. However, overall, I am pleased with the keyboard, but to be honest, its hard to go wrong

The design of the whole thing is marvellous, definitely a thing of beauty.

LED backlit display, I thing so as it lights up

But, from your video, Leopard seems better

Apparently Apple put a lot of research into simplifying things for the beginning computer user. That is why they have one mouse-button and a simplified keyboard. The fact that nearly 95% of all computer users are using PCs and that they are doing just fine with two mouse-buttons and a full-featured keyboard should be revealing.

When Apple finally dropped the PowerPC chips in favor of Intel chips, that was a step in the right direction. I get the feeling that Jobs is just too stubborn to put two mouse buttons on a Macbook, let alone using a standard keyboard. It's too bad. I'd really like to own a Macbook, but I won't be buying another one unless there is a standard keyboard and two mouse-buttons. Form before function in this case is not worth the hassle.
