Maybe blogging really does help, because since I posted I've been able to work properly like I used to! It's been really frustrating to try and work and get confused and battle to put things together. Then about 2 days ago I had a minor epiphane while in the shower - I realised why I've been battling so much! To put it simly - my project has two major components (broken down into about 6 sub-components, each of which is a huge project in itself). BAsically one of the big components doens't really fit in, but I really want to do it. So I'd been rather vague in determining my aims so that I could work it in.
The thing is, if you want to plan a really good project you need very definite aims, and then you link every single little thing back to them (so pretty much if you sneeze you have to do it in a way that will help you in accomplishing your aims). So I was battling because I didn't have an actual solid frame of reference to pin things on. I was just writing stuff and hoping it would fit together once I was done.
So yesterday I planned out a brank spanking new proposal and started over. And I think I did more good writing yesterday than I have in the last 4 or 5 months. And as nerdy and sad as this sounds, for the first time in ages I enjoyed sitting in the lab until 9pm last night because I was actually making progress and I found myself remembering why I love being a student (besides the opportunities for travel, the awesome people and the flexible workign hours).
That's all for today. I have a lot of work to do!

2 months down the line...
I really missed blogging! I got a lot more stuff donethough, I didn't realise how much time I spent blogging and reading other people's blogs (I missed all of them too!). But I just realised it's almost 2 months since my last post and I think you all deserve an update.
My proposal is currently in the form of a very well though out and organised 2-page long list, that I've tried to translate into fuull sentences and ended up with 40 pages of stuff that doesn't really make sense. I took it to workj today to work on and then left it there. So I'll be trekking out up north tomorrow to go and retieve it. not that it's really necessary (besides saving the trees by not printing another copy), but I was working in an old book that has some notes in it from a subject I really loved when I was in second year. So I want to hang on to them. I went off to the Northern Cape for just under a week in April. I spent y birthday with mylizards. the place is so incredible! It's beautiful! And everyone was really nice. The people camping near me were really friendly and kept trying to feed me when they saw I wasn't doing the traditional "make-a-fire and cook half a cow" south african thing but rather having a sandwich and going to bed at 7pm.
Every night it was someone different. I had the old guy from Upington with his son from New Zealand. This guy had cycled over 8000km around south africa and then bought a motorbike and done about that around Namibia. He's leaving next month for Australia where he has planned a 3-month cycling trip from Sydney to Perth (or the other way around. I forget). The next night was a very sweet family from Cape Town ('we made too much Potjie. PLEASE help us eat it!) who sat on the steps of their camper-vans playing the harmonica and then started up sokkie-treffers and sokkied the night away next to my tent. After that was a lovely family, also from Cape-Town who I got very fond of and spoke to them a lot. They'd pretty much taken their kids to the Kgalagadi transfrontier park for a month even though it involved their daughter missing a week of school because they figured she'd get a better education on a trip like that. When I told them about my lizards they got very excited and actually saw some the next day and took a really nice photo which they gave to me. There were also the strange conversations in the bathroom about what the word in afrikaans for bath-plug was because you had to bring your own and stuff. The night before I left a very motherly tannie chased me out the bathroom because I was leaving early (I left at 4am) and should go to bed. this was on my birthday so the whole way through my phone was ringing and bleeping while I was shooed to my tent by a middle-aged lady in curlers and pyjamas with fluffy pink slippers.
What was really amazing was how friendly the Afrikaans people were. they were mostly from the Cape. Gauteng people made really tight circles with their cars (almost like oxwagons ;)) and put their tents inside and didn't speak to anyone. I almost wanted to cover my number plate on my car so I wasn't linked to them in any way! It was a really amazing trip though. As muich as I didn't want to go on my own I'm glad I did. Partly it was a chance to prove to myself that I could manage a 940km drive on my own (it was actually quite fun1), and partly to have some time to be quite completely alone. I was out with my lizards from about 7am until around 4 or 5pm, and I didn't have to worry about anyone else and if they were bored or miserable or tired. And then I went to bed at about 7 (sunset) so I caught up on tons of sleep and got home ready to really get started. I got excited about my project for the first time in months anbd it was fantastic!
I resigned from my job last week after the politics got too much and I got so stressed out with university and work and people that I actually made myself sick (not in the finger-down-the throat way, in the I'm-so-stressed-I-can't-sleep-and-get-all-nervous-and-nearly-pass-out-and-can't-keep-anything-down kind of way. Kind of like the end of honours last year). It was really sad. I felt ok about it, considering the politics of having the manager's brother hate me and her listening to him were really childish and resulted in her phoning the owner literally seconds after I went to speak to him to demand an explanation for me going to see him. but I'll really miss working with Lara who can ALWAYS make me laugh! and when I saw the pile of horrible christmas music we have to listen to every december I got a little bit emotional. And I'll really miss the free movies! But I think it's for the best and I'm really looking forward to having my weekends unstructured and empty soon.
My supervisor is being a moron. I helped him out and with something for when he was away and all he could say afterwards was how much he had to fix up everything I'd done. Loser. I think it hurt so much mainly because I was quite nervous that we hadn't done a good enough job even though everyone else said we had. Maybe that's why I wanted him to supervise me, we have roughly equivalent standards when it comes to work. But it doesn't change the fact that I've lost a lot of respect for him as a person.
I'm finished with my first year's for the year. I'm glad that the course is over, but sad to see them go. I had a really nice group this year and we got along well (I even gave them chocolate for working hard! I've never even thought about doing that before!). A lot of them said they were thinking of doing Zoology next year, so I'm sure I'll cross paths with at least a few of them in the future. It was really frustrating though because I only had 2 students who were failing (out of 16. this is very unusual, usually at least half of them are struggling if not failing) and finally, about 2 or 3 weeks before the end I sat down with one of them and we talked through was should go in a drawing, what you should and shouldn't label. How to make your work look nice and neat (like tracing a drawing if it's been redrawn and erased and redrawn on top of itself in heavy pencil), and how to write answers that are relevant. He finally started coming right! It was so incredible! He was still failing, but he'd just about doubled his marks and was borderline-passing by the time we finished! I felt a little bit validated considering everything else going on.
The third years on the other had have been a disaster. they have lied to me, moaned at me, had a screaming match over their marks withme, complained to the lecturer about me, requested that I don't mark them... and so on. Fortunately they're really not very intelligent liars so it's easy to shut them up, but considering :a) my third years hate me; b) my proposal is proving to be tricky; c)I can't do a simple job well enough for my supervisor and d)I couldn't get along with a little 17-year-old well enough to stay at my job; and e)I found a grey hair last week (I'm22! I can't be going grey!) I've been feeling a little bit miserable lately.
so I took things to extremes, skipped the social-after-work/varsity friday evening and went home and had soup. It wasn't enough, so on Saturday (yesterday) I had more soup, and dyed my hair.
Now I'm feeling better.
Tomato soup and hair-dye rocks!
(not together obviously!)

Flying in the second wave of the attack, he had vanquished the remaining aircraft intended to protect Pearl, a task so easy that his own return flight to the carrier should have proved uneventful. But now his Zero was leaking fuel badly, forcing him to make an emergency landing. The barren island below, called Niihau, was tiny and of no consequence compared with the world-changing events that had unfolded earlier that morning, December 7, 1941. Yet six days later, Airman First Class Shigenori Nishikaichi would be dead, killed by an islander, while another island resident who had helped the pilot would take his own life, all the result of a strange incident of invasion and resistance in the Pacific war.
From This Story
"I never knew about this," visitors invariably tell education director Kathryn "KT" Budde-Jones as she guides them through the pieces of the ill-fated Zero on display at Ford Island's Pacific Aviation Museum—Pearl Harbor (see Kauai; that he terrorized its native inhabitants, threatening to kill them all; that his aircraft survives, though burned and in pieces, preserving the story of Mitsubishi A6M2 type 0, model 21, tail number B11-120.
Even KT and her husband, Syd Jones, the museum's director of restoration, did not know the tale. Both have had their share of adventure, from diving for Spanish galleons with treasure hunter Mel Fisher to piloting vintage aircraft at the Flying Tigers Warbird Museum in Florida, and both agree that the "Niihau Incident" is "befitting a Hollywood movie," says KT, relating how the wayward Zero tumbled to Earth, knocking its pilot unconscious. And how ranch hand Howell Kaleohano rushed outside to find a smoking aircraft in his front yard.
"He and his fellow islanders had no inkling Pearl Harbor was under siege," KT says (there were no telephones or electricity on Niihau). Nor could they understand the injured pilot (they spoke only Hawaiian). That night, as Pearl burned, the islanders treated their drop-in guest to a luau. Then the young Nishikaichi began demanding the return of his papers and weapons—items that the savvy Kaleohano had lifted on reaching the wreck.
"I played pilot in the wreck as a child, rata-tat-tat!" says Keith Robinson, who descends from the family of New Zealand farmers who bought Niihau from Hawaii's King Kamehameha IV in 1864. Robinson's uncle, Alymer Robinson, oversaw Niihau when the Zero crashed. Today, Keith's mission is to preserve the endangered species that inhabit the island, along with its Hawaiian language and culture.
In the museum's exhibit, B11-120 lies in fragments, arranged to correspond to how this Rei Shiki Sentoki (Type 0 Fighter) came to rest amid the boulders and abutilon weeds of Niihau just hours into the Pacific war. Syd Jones had heard stories about a crashed Zero on Niihau, but the trail went cold after U.S. inspection teams had disassembled it in 1941. He found a historian, Allan Lloyd, who reported that he had been to Niihau, had met the Robinsons, and had seen the wreckage. After grilling the Joneses on their motives, Lloyd put the pair in touch with Keith Robinson, who ultimately wanted only to get the real story of the Niihau Zero on the record.
"We treated it as an archeological site," Syd recalls of his 2006 trips to secluded Niihau, once called "the Forbidden Isle" and even today accessible only with permission from the Robinson family. "I wrote up pre-disturbance guidelines for us to follow. Very little info comes out of Niihau, so we really didn't even know where the aircraft was, relative to where it crashed, or what state it was in."
Syd's first challenge was reconstructing the crash itself. To do so, he flew Nishikaichi's 1941 approach to the island, some 150 miles northwest of Pearl Harbor. "We wanted to see if there was some possible way of finding additional pieces of the wreck, [to] establish a primary scatter trail of artifacts as the aircraft bellied in," he says. Eyewitness testimony honed the search. "We interviewed a Niihauan who, as a young man, saw the plane come in. It turned out the aircraft was not where it originally crashed." Prior to recovery, the team went to Niihau, prepared a photo-mosaic of the wreck, and tagged the larger pieces for later identification.
Back to Oahu's Ford Island, to reconstruct the airplane and what actually happened. "We laid out the parts in a grid on the museum floor," Syd says, "to identify what part went where, in the proper relationship and spacing from each other. We were able to identify about 95 percent of the pieces we found. Fortunately, there was another A6M2 in our hangar we could refer to"—a Nakajima-built Zero recovered from the Solomon Islands, restored, and recently acquired from the Commemorative Air Force. "We had the drawings, but it's easier to go to the real thing."
The wing, portions of the tail, the elevator, and an aft section of its 950-horsepower Nakajima Sakae twin-row 14-cylinder engine survive. Zeros were light—about two-thirds the weight of a Supermarine Spitfire—though what remains seems sculpted from Reynolds Wrap. "Sitting outside in a salty environment for 60 years didn't do this plane any favors," Syd says. "Still, this is the largest surviving collection of artifacts from any [aircraft] shot down at Pearl."

Awesome product
Love it!
I've been in the military for quite some time, and never once considered purchasing a morale patch until I saw this one on Facebook and had to get it (3 in fact). Initially I was hoping to sew one on my old beret, but the patch is a little bigger than the standard flash. Oh well, guess it will go on my range bag.
I'm proof USAF Security Forces and I love this patch. So cool to add some nerdy reference with it. I love it.
As a paramedic, I wear this patch on my work bag in support of the Code Green Campaign®, which is a first responder-oriented mental health advocacy and education organization. Green is also the color for mental health awareness, I want to spread awareness of the high rates of mental health issues in first responders (firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, dispatchers, police, corrections, air medical, and search & rescue), and eliminate the stigma that prevents people - especially first responders - from admitting these issues and asking for help.
Patch is well made. Met all expectations.
I tried finding these patches for a long time and they're great although I don't rate one many of my Brothers do and they'll love them when I give them to them!!!
I received not only the patch I ordered, but also several other high quality patches as well as a hand written note. I am very satisfied with Morale Patch Armory's quality as well as their service. I can guarantee that several airmen from my squadron will soon become customers of Morale Patch Armory just based on the excellent product and service I received.
This PVC patch has sharp colors and excellent quality. A must have for anyone who enjoys Pepe memes and wants to represent!
The patch is very well made and looks great. Didn't expect to get the backing with it to be able to attach it to my backpack, MPA went the extra mile!
Loved the patch and quick service. They anded a little blue pride stickers for me to where that were free. Couldn't have been more pleased. Thanks
Top quality!!
Thank you! My order was on time and I love the gifts inside my Envelope.
Some businesses just sell you things and do not follow ups or show any appreciation for your patronage. This company goes above and beyond for their customers and I was flabbergasted with the way they treated me and my order. Personal touches really shows how much they care and I'll be a repeat customer for sure. The products come in excellent packaging and is high quality patches. You can't go wrong with them as you'll love your items and the company.

KIEV: Ukraine's military admitted Monday that pro-Russian troops have surrounded or taken over "practically all" its military facilities in Crimea — a move that Russia's foreign minister defended as a necessary protection for the ethnic Russians on the Black Sea peninsula.
"This is a question of defending our citizens and compatriots, ensuring human rights, especially the right to life," Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in Geneva, where he was attending UN meetings.
There have been no reports, however, of any hostilities toward Russian-speaking people in Ukraine during the country's four months of political upheaval.
The Russian Foreign Ministry also issued a statement saying that Moscow believes Ukraine must honor its Feb. 21 agreement to form a new national unity government.
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and US Vice President Joe Biden discussed the situation in Ukraine by telephone, the Interfax news agency cited Medvedev's spokeswoman as saying on Monday.
Medvedev "declared that it is necessary to protect the interests of all Ukrainian citizens, including residents of Crimea, and citizens of Russia who are located in Ukraine," Interfax quoted his spokeswoman, Natalya Timakova, as saying.
In Kiev, Ukraine's new prime minister admitted his country had "no military options on the table" to reverse Russia's military move into its Crimea region.
While Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk appealed for outside help and insisted that Crimea still remained part of his country, European foreign ministers held an emergency meeting on a joint response to Russia's military move that could include economic sanctions.
"Any attempt of Russia to grab Crimea will have no success at all. Give us some time," Yatsenyuk said at a news conference with British Foreign Secretary William Hague.
But he added that "for today" there were "no military options on the table." He said his country was "urgently" asking for economic and political support from other countries.
New reports of Russian moves came in rapid succession Monday. In addition to seizing barracks and border posts, troops also controlled a ferry terminal in the Ukrainian city of Kerch, just 20 kilometers (12 miles) across the water from Russia. That intensified fears in Kiev that Moscow will send even more troops into the peninsula via that route.
The soldiers at the terminal refused to identify themselves Monday, but they spoke Russian and their vehicles had Russian license plates.
In the meantime, Russian forces were clearly cementing their control over strategic Crimea, home to 2 million mostly Russian-speaking people and landlord for Russia's critical Black Sea Fleet.
Border guards spokesman Sergei Astakhov said the Russians were demanding that Ukrainians transfer their allegiance to Crimea's new pro-Russian local government.
"The Russians are behaving very aggressively, they came in by breaking down doors, knocking out windows, cutting off every communication," he said.
He said four Russian military ships, 13 helicopters and 8 transport planes had arrived in Crimea in violation of agreements that permit Russian to keep its naval base at the Crimean port of Sevastopol.
Now, fears in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev and beyond are that Russia might seek to expand its control by targeting and seizing other parts of Ukraine, especially in its pro-Russian east.
"The world cannot just allow this to happen," Hague said, but he ruled out any military action. "The UK is not discussing military options. Our concentration is on diplomatic and economic pressure." "Crisis diplomacy is not a weakness, but it is now more important than ever for us not to fall into the abyss of a military escalation, not to blunder into this abyss," German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said.
Economic backlash
Market reaction to the Russian invasion of Crimea was immediate Monday. In European trading, gold and oil rose while the euro and stock markets fell. The greatest impact was felt in Moscow, where the main RTS index was down 12 percent at 1,115 and the dollar spiked to an all-time high of 37 rubles.
Russia's central bank hiked its main interest rate 1.5 percentage points Monday to 7 percent, trying to stem financial outflows.
Gazprom, the Russian energy giant, was also big loser, its share price down 13 percent as investors worried about how it would get its gas to Europe if hostilities kept up, since much of it goes through Ukrainian pipelines.
Tension between Ukraine and Moscow rose sharply after Ukraine's pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych was pushed out by a protest movement made up of people who wanted closer ties with the European Union. Yanukovych fled to Russia last month after more than 80 demonstrators were killed near Kiev's central square but insists he is still president.
Since then, troops that Ukraine says are Russian soldiers have moved into Crimea, patrolling airports, smashing equipment at an air base and besieging Ukrainian military installations.
Outrage over Russia's military moves has mounted in world capitals, with US Secretary of State John Kerry calling on President Vladimir Putin to pull back from "an incredible act of aggression." Kerry is to travel to Ukraine on Tuesday.
Putin has defied calls from the West to pull back his troops, insisting that Russia has a right to protect its interests and those of Russian-speakers in Crimea and elsewhere in Ukraine. His confidence is matched by the knowledge that Ukraine's 46 million people have divided loyalties — while much of western Ukraine wants closer ties with the 28-nation European Union, its eastern and southern regions like Crimea look to Russia for support.
Faced with the Russian threat, Ukraine's new government has moved to consolidate its authority, naming new regional governors in the pro-Russia east, enlisting the support of the country's wealthy businessmen and dismissing the head of the country's navy after he declared allegiance to the pro-Russian government in Crimea.
Looming over the political crisis is Ukraine's teetering economy, with a top economic official saying that it needs at least $35 billion to get through this year and next. Putin had promised a $15 billion loan in December, but Russia has only delivered $3 billion.
NATO held an emergency meeting in Brussels and the US, France and Britain debated the possibility of boycotting the next Group of Eight economic summit, to be held in June in Sochi, the host of Russia's successful Winter Olympics.
On Sunday evening, the White House issued a joint statement on behalf of the Group of Seven saying they are suspending participation in planning for the upcoming summit because Russia's advances in the Ukraine violate the "principles and values" on which the G-7 and G-8 operate.

MILWAUKEE (AP) Davante Gardner came off the bench to score a season-high 19 points, and Junior Cadougan and Vander Blue each added 17 to lead Marquette to an 84-80 victory over LSU on Saturday.
Gardner made all nine free-throw attempts, including six in the final 36 seconds. Jamil Wilson added 11 points for Marquette (8-3), which overcame a 49-47 loss at Green Bay on Wednesday by winning its 15th straight home game.
Andre Stringer finished with a season-high 20 points for LSU (7-2). The Tigers, in a stretch of 17 days between home games, got 18 points from Anthony Hickey.
After two Gardner free throws gave Marquette an 80-76 lead with 35.2 seconds remaining, Charles Carmouche lost his dribble off his foot with Trent Lockett guarding him. Gardner picked the ball up, was fouled and sank two free throws for an 82-76 lead. He added two more for an 84-78 lead with 9.6 seconds left.

Gael Greene at Zero Otto Nove
Gael "Insatiable Critic" Greene hits up Zero Otto Nove with Arthur "Food Maven" Schwartz as guide. Schwartz is, of course, the man largely responsible for blowing this place up with his newsletter account and blog post about it. Says Greene:
As for the pizzas that lured us here, Arthur is right. They are a model of brick oven pies. The crust has appealing flavor though it's not crisp like my favorites at Celeste. The splendid buffalo mozzarella shows best on the Margherita with San Marzano tomatoes, though the Marinara with capers, anchovies and pitted olives is admirable too. And I love the untraditional pie with sliced potatoes, sausage and smoked mozzarella, as one would an unruly child.

The Daily Word in Levi Chavez, water-swiping Texans and Sarah Palin redux
The recent rains mean that the National Forests aren't quite as likely to catch on fire if you camp in them. But you're still not allowed to do it yet.
Something something Levi Chavez trial something!
The Texans are coming for your water.
Behold, the strange and convoluted saga of the worst video game in the world! And charity marathon!
Sarah Palin is planning on running for senate.
Australia is spying on phone records too. But for really important reasons, like catching litterbugs.
You should be ashamed for giving up on Catch-22 after only 20 pages, but hey, at least you're not alone. Goodreads presents a graphic of the most commonly abandoned books.

Kory Kindle has known little else apart from soccer since the age of four, but he has taken the bold decision to walk away from the sport to pursue a career path outside.
The 22-year-old from Ventura, California, arrived in Colorado as a second round draft pick in 2013. He failed to feature for the first team but did start seven reserve team games before an ankle injury, and then hernia, brought his season to a premature close.
Kindle was re-signed by the Rapids back in January, but has opted to follow his heart and return to school.
"I started thinking about this last year, when I got hurt," Kindle explained. "It put things into perspective. I was thinking 'if I really want to do this, how motivated would I be to get back and get healthy?'"
Kindle now expects to return to school for the next year, and then apply to graduate schools in the hope that he can achieve his new goals of a doctorate in physical therapy. And he has not dismissed the notion of one day returning to the sport he loves.
"As of now I'm not really sure what I want to do in physical therapy," he added. "I'd love to be in the sports side, and be with a team, but as of now I just want to go back, get my degree and work to that next step."
And we wish him all the very best ...

On the Road
America's Loveliest Drives
This piece is reprinted from Travel + Leisure.
Automobile ads love to show shiny vehicles cruising open highways under blue skies, with mountains and beaches nearby. But when was the last time you took a drive like that? For most of us, our cars are merely workhorses to haul us around town.
But it's easy to break out of the rut. Magnificent roads are never far—routes that slice through forests, dance along the coastlines, and thread through mountain passes. They're scenic drives, yes, but they're also classically American. And once you find the right route, it's easy to rediscover the exuberant freedom of the open road.
The first cars were by and large playthings for the rich and powerful—just picture Jay Gatsby winding his yellow Rolls-Royce down the parkways of Long Island. But at the same time, special scenic routes were constructed in what are still some of the country's most beautiful spots. When more Americans started driving, it created a road-trip frenzy that lives on today.
Some of these roads are justifiably famous, including what's arguably America's most scenic drive: California's Route 1, around the town of Big Sur. Rocky cliffs plunge down to open ocean, creating a severe distraction while you navigate this narrow road.
Other roads may not be household names, but are nevertheless an integral part of the American fabric. Highway 31, west of New Orleans, takes you through classic Louisiana countryside, past lazy bayous and swampy lagoons filled with alligators and herons.
And some of these great American drives are still relatively new. Between Utah's Capitol Reef National Park and its Dr. Seuss-like Bryce Canyon, Highway 12 runs past sandstone cliffs and a forest of deep green junipers. Yet this road was simply a challenging four-wheel-drive track until the last stretch was opened in 1985. And the famous Blue Ridge Parkway, a project started in 1935, wasn't fully completed until 1983. That's when the Linn Cove Viaduct, which snakes around North Carolina's Grandfather Mountain, was finished.
So next time you find yourself stuck in rush-hour traffic, skip the road rage. Instead, find the iconic American road closest to you and put yourself in that automobile ad.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
I previously blogged about my search for a 17" 1920x1200 laptop. The only one I could find was a 17" MacBook Pro, which has been an excellent machine for running Windows and SQL Server. It is no longer made. Apple has a few refurbished ones available. Just be sure to get a matte display if you buy one.
If you want WUXGA resolution or better in a laptop, your only off the shelf option is now the 15" MacBook Pro with the Retina display, which is 2880x1800, although as Peter Schott points out below, not all of those pixels are actually addressable. The raw pixel count exceeds the resolution of my 30" 2560x1600 desktop monitor. As much as I like pixels, I'm at the age when people have presbyopia. I need a bigger screen, not just more pixels. There isn't an option to specify a matte finish on the Retina display. I haven't seen one, so I don't know how glossy it is. The new MacBook Pro with Retina display does have the ability to scale to 1920x1200, although without the sharpness of the Retina mode. People with above average reading vision might want to consider WUXGA on a 15" MacBook Pro.
I did find a 17" WUXGA custom built laptop for $2,608.45. It weighs 5 kg. http://store.buydirectpc.com/custom-laptop/custom-i7-laptop.html?¤cy=usd
My understanding was that even though the display has that resolution, it really is the equivalent of 1/2 that because it's doing the Retina thing. So 1440x900 would be the equivalent resolution, just prettier. (Could be wrong on this, though - read it from some twitter feeds.)
The reina screen should not be very different from a new iPad, simply larger. To get an idea of the glossiness, head to your local electronics store and check out a new iPad. You are correct you will not get a larger screen, you will get a higher resolution screen. 2880x1800 in a 15" screen is 226dpi, compared to a normal 1280x1024 15" screen 109dpi, and 1920x1200 17"'s 133dpi. What you see on screen will not be bigger, but it will be extremely clear and easy to read.
If you want to see the difference, visit a store with both the iPad 2 and the new iPad side-by-side. View the same thing on each iPad and see the difference, and specifically see different font sizes and distance to/from the screen. Ideally, each iPad will have the same books, otherwise use the note app or view the settings sections.
There is plenty of 15" laptop with WUXGA (dell/hp..)
My dell M4400 from 3 years ago has this resolution and i loved it!
Get a used Dell Precision Covet m6500. It has a 17" screen with 1920x1200. I think the newer precisions have gone to 17.3" with 1900x1080 though.
Or get the new Lenovo W530 (mine is due any day), 15" 1900x1080 with Ivy Bridge, 4 memory slots for up to 32GB memory, 2 drive bays (if you replace the optical). Very nice and affordable machine (using after market Corsair memory and Crucial m4 SSD, I got mine with 32GB memory, FHD, 512GB SSD, 500GB HD, 2GB video for the same price as the new base level MacBook Pro)
You didn't search too hard. I picked up a new returned 17.3" Dell off their outlet that is a beast for running SQL Server and software of that ilk. Toss in a SSD, more memory and a good bag and you are looking less the $2k for a loaded machine.
I have contacted Apple, Dell (including Alienware), Lenovo, HP, and smaller niche companies and all have told me that they no longer make laptops with 1920x1200. In the case of Dell, Lenovo, and HP, they all initially provided me with one or more model numbers that were 17" 1080, not 1200 vertical pixels. Only after pointing out that FHD is less than 1200 did they check and confirm the lack of WUXGA availability.
If anyone can find a currently in production 17" WUXGA (1920x1200) laptop, please post the link.
It's like you picked the one requirement you could only find on a Apple product in order to justify selecting an Apple product. :) But if a specific resolution screen is an absolute requirement for your eyesight, then your choices are limited.
What I really want is a flexible version of my 30" monitor that I can roll up and take with me. I may have to wait a long time for that.
I miss my Lenovo W500's 1920x1200 screen (and its lovely keyboard!). My Asus has a 1920x1080 screen - almost as good but those extra pixels are handy.
I just checked Lenovo and was surprised that they didn't do 1920x1200 anymore :( Such a shame. I personally wouldn't get a Mac simply because I don't know how to drive it as well. I write software for Windows and spend my day running apps that don't exist for Mac, so I would be running Windows on there the whole time anyway :) Like someone else said, you can get a whole lot of PC without paying the higher Apple price.
Yes its really annoying - Im looking for 15" 16:10 pref 1920x1200 and it just doesnt exist except for Apple and I refuse to buy Apple bec it can be repaired/upgraded
I currently have a 3yo laptop with 16:10 and I can notice a big difference bet this and 16:9
I have a feeling I wont get a choice though and will just have to do more work at the desk with my monitor
I am a bit late to this party, but I have a HP 8530w mobile workstation, 15.4" screen, which runs WUXGA with a matte display. It is fantastic :-)
Check out a used T60p laptop with XGA display. I think there is a number of this boxes around.
Disadvantage: AFAIK most processors of notebooks with XGA displays are only Dual Core, but not Dual Core2, which means, you cannot run 64 Bit. Pity.
Unfortunately there is NOT plenty of 15" laptop with WUXGA but there WERE a lot ... in the past ... :(
XGA resolution is 1024x768 ... which is pretty useless in year 2012!
By the way: I bought a 4 years old Lenovo with CPU Intel T7700, 4GB RAM, WUXGA display, Nvidia Quadro and let me say that Windows 7-64 bit is working perfectly!
Since Spring 2004 Intel is producing 64 CPUs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_processor#64-bit_processors:_Intel_64_.E2.80.93_NetBurst_microarchitecture)
