Let's take a look back at what these Mac blogs were excited about this week, from December 4 - 10. Check out last week's Apple rumors here, and for all the latest, follow me on Twitter here.

r.i.p. Steve... is it true you can't take it with you, and what's that mean for mobile technology?

The question of the day is, should you get an iPad 2 for Christmas or wait for the 3?

Me, I'm waiting for the iPad 37. With exciting new 13G technology, it can download at speeds up to 30,000 yottabytes per second; the 12G iPad 36 can only manage 25,000. This'll come in handy when it's time to download the highly anticipated 17th Spider-Man reboot. That franchise could really use the vision of director Christopher Nolan Jonze III. But the 36 takes a grueling 4 zeptoseconds to download a movie like that; I can't wait to get my Spider-Man in just 2 zeptoseconds.

Not a one of these is even remotely interesting.

Yeah, sure the iPad3 might be slightly thicker if they need to include a second LED bar for the higher resolution screen. Big deal.

ETA: OH, and if they need to add a slightly bigger battery.

Wake me when Apple offers a major Logic Studio update and Logic Studio controller support for iPads.

Thanks.

Have a nice long sleep. You can't do effective audio processing on an A5 processor.

That's true, but you can use iPads as an effective touch screen controller for several digital audio workstations already.

Another day, another Apple ad posing as a real news article on HP.

Does Apple own the tech section in Huffington post?

[Robg264]

Huffpost has become the biggest Apple fanboy yet.

One assumes they get paid.

One also has to assume that all of HuffPo's opinions, headlines, and reporting is for sale ... if they do it for one section, then you can never trust that they won't do it for every section. The Koch brothers may well be doing a cost/benefit analysis as we type on whether it's worth buying out HuffPo's integrity.

This isn't how Apple does business, making one product out of another . . . one. . . oh, the iPod touch out of the iPhone. Ok, the TV thing might be true..

[RV1025]

Wow, what a forward thinker you must be... But yes, Apple did release an non-phone version of their iPhone. I love it, great for travel - a little laptop that fits in my pocket.

It was meant to be funny. Slightly, anyway.

27 inches is too large for a computer screen. You have to move your head constantly to see the screen. Or you could move away from it. But it's silly having to do that, isn't it?

[RV1025]

I guess... But mine is a 32" HDTV and works just find for computing.

Never in my life have I heard of moving away from a monitor/television being "silly". So, sitting close to a monitor isn't silly?

Do explain. Thanks!

A computer isn't a television, it usually sits on a desk, and you sit at that desk, unlike the TV that's across from a couch.

I have had a 27" iMac for years, and I don't have to move my head constantly. How are you using it? How far away are you sitting?

I honestly don't get it.

I have a 15 in MacBook. I ran into a friend at the Apple store who was buying a 21 inch iMac because he said his 27 screen was too big.

It was his criticism, not mine, but it made sense.
