Webkit benchmark follow-up
Just a small follow-up of the webkit benchmark results. I ran it in Webkit 28949 on my Powerbook G4 667MHz Gigabit Ethernet and it appears to be 10 times as slow as webkit on my Mac Pro. The amazing thing is however, that those 10 times still not make it unusable. So I'm still not convinced I should buy a new laptop.

MacBook Pros are so exquisitely beautiful... And they're the machines that run Vista the fastest! That means time goes slower when you run OSX on them.
I've always been puzzled by the time relativity thing. If time goes slower, does that really mean that things age less fast?
And what about parallel time? Does my potential new Macbook Pro age faster when I run Vista on it? Does it somehow become soiled by the experience?
Please tell me Dr. Tsa!

Those are two different issues. The time relativity thing is just thet: relativity. So if time goes slower for you, and time for me stays at the same speed, you age slower in my eyes, and I age faster in yours. Which makes the experience pretty incomprehensible if you think about it too much.
And of course the MBP ages faster if you run Vista on it. Vista is a power hog; the reason why we need more power plants on the planet. Your battery will drain faster with Vista, and all components get even hotter than when you run OSX. No wonder your laptop ages faster.
