I've run tests on both since the upgrade - encoding HD video in Final Cut Pro X, and find that actually they do it in exactly the same time ...which I find incredible. I think my unibody 17" MBP is a little older than yours - early 2009. 2.66GHz core...
I've also recently bought a MacBook Air ice i7, and like yourself I've been really impressed by its speed compared to my three-year-old 17 inch MacBook Pro. Frustrated by the sluggishness of that MacBook Pro I removed its DVD drive and replaced it w...
"I felt great about life, but at the same time I wanted to die." LOL! That'll be me! Ok, no new socks. My plan after the marathon is to take up long distance cycling. Then I'll need to learn how to swim properly and do a triathlon. in about 2020.
I'm addicted to Japanese stationary. Have to stay out of stationary stores most of the time otherwise find I can only afford to eat white rice with rice all week.

Ha! I've seen that done before to 25:00, but never to 29:00! Personally I feel they should stick to the 24 hour clock, as beyond that I think we're distancing ourselves too far from the natural rhythm of our home, Planet Earth!
Thanks for all the feedback! I got an email from the organiser tonight who said that I did a pretty good job of waving the red baton and so will be invited back again next year! :-)
I meant to say, the image above is from the Japanese government's met office, one of the first places to find info in English on quakes that have just occured http://www.jma.go.jp/en/quake/ (I have it on my iPhones home screen!) The other place to ch...
