MacBook Air

This link features a bunch of Japanese engineers whining about how bad the internal designs of the MacBook Air is. Their complaints?

1. Too much screws resulting in “great increase” in cost

2. Argued that there are alternatives to the MacBook Air’s design which will lower the cost, but they themselves could not provide any examples of alternative designs

3. Stated that if they submitted such a design to their company heads, their company heads will never approve it (Now you know why Japanese are no longer revered for their designs, the people at the top are idiots)

4. Believed that if Apple gave them the design for manufacturing, they will NOT follow the designs, instead try and cut costs by changing the design to use lesser components (This sounds like the exact reason why certain old buildings in Singapore used to collapse without a reason, like the one that collapsed in 1983)

If you ask me, these Japanese are just sore and pissed that;

1. the Taiwanese get the manufacturing contract and not them

2. they themselves have no idea how to come up with such a design.

Seriously speaking, sometimes I really think these Japanese companies are a big joke. They love to kill their own talented workers by claiming that “they don’t fit in with the rest” (how do you expect geniuses to fit in with idiots?) and then they get red-eyed when Apple or non-Japanese companies beat them at introducing better design and technology.

According to a very dependable source, Apple Singapore is not allowing any of the local resellers to mass order the Air despite very high demand for the ultra-portable Mac notebook. According to Apple Singapore’s Channel Manager, they are only giving 2 to 3 machines to resellers who have expressed wishes to order more than 20 machines, without offering any official explanation for the shortage in delivery.

While it is highly possible that the MacBook Air is only found in limited quantities due to supply issues, Apple is not capitalizing fast enough on the impulse buying triggered by such a product. Many people whom I know who have placed orders for the MacBook Air are now canceling their orders simply because they are fed up with waiting, or they get dissuaded by family and friends simply because Apple allowed the long lag in time between the announcement and the actual product delivery.

I myself am contemplating canceling my own order for an Air.

Before the release of the MacBook Air at Macworld Expo 2008, the various rumors surrounding the MacBook Air were using various facts as their evidence that the MacBook Air actually exists. One of these “evidences” was the registration of MacBookAir.com. Macrumors forums had numerous threads about how the domain was actually registered days before the MacBook Air name was suggested/rumored to be true, and with as many other threads about the Air rumors, the hordes of disbelievers who tried to discredit the claim that MacBookAir.com was registered by Apple.

So now that we know the MacBook Air exists, does anyone know if MacBookAir.com was really registered by Apple?

Find out for yourself.

When will my MacBook Air arrive? I sit in front of my iMac wondering…… And wondering……
