Just returned from the Apple store this evening, and the MacBook Air (pictured on top of the MacBook) really does seem like a great laptop! I was really shocked at how large the touchpad is, and how much it responds like the screen on the iPhone. One thing I did learn from a friend at the store is that it is well worth it to purchase the optional optical drive . He mentioned a Leopard install taking over 3 hours via another computer's optical drive on the network, compared to maybe 45 minutes using the optional drive for the Air. For some fun, check out the teardown photos of the Air over here at MacNN , courtesy of iFixit .

From an Apple boardroom in 2006 and 200 engineers on the task, we're sure you'll enjoy reading this story WIRED magazine has released in their most recent issue. It's always fun to hear how large projects like the iPhone get started, but even better to see the impact this device is having on the industry. If you like the photo in this blog post, it and three others are now available as wallpapers in our downloads section of the site for both the Mac and the PC. If you own an iPhone, be sure to visit our site built specifically for the iPhone at www.GodsMac.com/iphone. We'll be back soon with episode 37!

We've got some good news for those of you with an iPhone or iPod Touch! All of our podcast episodes are now available on a customized web app (small site) just for you. We're thrilled that Apple has listed the web app in their directory as well! We've already started hearing from new listeners via that location. You must have either of these devices to correctly view the web app (on regular computers or other devices the buttons are not displayed and every other episode that is coded differently is white and seems invisible). The Apple Development Center was of great assistance in providing custom style sheets and code to make this possible. We also have a new episode coming out very soon, with some thrilling news and additions to the podcast. Thanks to our dedicated audience and network of friends!
Available using iPhone - www.GodsMac.com/iphone And be sure to check out the other great apps available at www.apple.com/webapps (God's Mac is located in the News category)

I work at the Apple store in Birmingham, AL but I also have worked at the one in Cincinnati, OH. Currently, I am deployed to Iraq, so I am on leave away from Apple. I'll be here until the summer. It's...well, Iraq. Not quite what you see in the news, though.
Christians don't get what we do. I used to have people argue with me in theology classes about the wrongness of war. Then I come here and see the brokenness of this place. And I want to fix it. Thing is, you can't have surgery without a scapel. And no matter how much it hurts, some of us have to be the scalpel. Even if other Christians don't understand. But that makes it hard. War is not the "Christ like" thing to do. But we have a duty to do. I'm glad the God of Abraham is big enough to get that, and no matter how confused I get, He doesn't. There's a lot of stuff to be telling people. I mean, it's hard. CNN paints a picture of all this bad stuff going down. All the people dying. All the Soldiers who don't want to be here. Well, let's think about this in a couple ways. How many people have died? Around 3-4 thousand...since Afghanistan started? I think I'm more likely to get murdered in LA, Chicago, or any other major city. It's not Vietnam here, it's not a quagmire. It just takes time. We eat at Burger King way too much. (You're way right away), we drive 100 MPH on the high way, we have DSL and instant oil changes. (if on homepage - click to read more below)

Governor Schwarzeneggar of California has passed a bill that has banned the use of the terms "Mom and Dad" and "Husband and Wife" from the public schools in their state. He has also authorized boys and girls to use bathrooms of the opposite sex, in an effort to please those who consider themselves homosexual. Please read more from WorldNetDaily here . We'd love to hear from the parents of children that are in these schools. If you have friends or family in this situation feel free to request that they leave feedback here or contact us directly. And it seems odd that the state is literally up in flames? Keep playing games if you feel like it.

Guy worked for Apple from 1983-1987 as their "Evangelist". He recently spoke at the Innovate 2007 conference, and we thought we'd share the link to the video from his segment with you (his piece starts 25 minutes into the video). As a believer in Christ, he shares some great truths on how to truly be innovative in today's world. Thanks to Guy for stepping up to the plate, and giving us some great truths as we deal with the spiritual battles with being innovative and using technology! View video here. Be sure to also check out Guy's site here !
