“A komusō (虚無僧) was a Japanese monk during the Edo period. Komusō were characterised by the straw basket (tengai) worn on the head, manifesting the absence of specific ego. They are also known for playing solo pieces on the shakuhachi flute. The Japanese government introduced reforms after the Edo period, abolishing the sect. Komusō means ”priest of nothingness” or “monk of emptiness”" - Wikipedia

Wow, Fifty Shades of Gray originated from Twilight fan fiction. How did I not know this before? Anyway, just sent Free Will by Sam Harris and The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined by Steven Pinker to the Kindle. Starting the former now.

Let us know how the iPhone app works out. With Apple defaults pretty locked down (thus all email links) I didn't know if any non-Apple mail would work there.

Don't know if this is considered a spoiler (can never figure that out), but at a ComicCon panel with Vince Gilligan he let slip (and since repeated on Twitter)... @BreakingBad_AMC: "you're going to be reading more German than Spanish subtitles this season." Hmmmm.

Notifications/retrieval timing (instant), starring, labels and possibly deletion handling (at least if using Gmail). I think because it started as a Gmail frontend most of its defaults (and there aren't many setting adjustments) were created with that service in mind. Reportedly works well with other IMAPs too, but all my accounts are there.

Sparrow is $4.99 for a bit, if anyone on OS X is looking for an email client (arguably better than Mail.app for Gmail, etc.). http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id417250177?mt=12

I was wrong about the color gamut, but you may find the below useful. They've come to different conclusions than us, but mostly because of hardware upgrades. http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/06/faceoff-13-macbook-pro-vs-13-macbook-air/

15" res on a 13". Tighter pixel density. IPS so better viewing angles and color. If you have time to order from Apple (or maybe they have in store) you can bump RAM (and processor, but I don't think i7 matters much on 13 MBA). Otherwise just storage space. RAM is the one option I'd consider. I have the current 13" MBP (work) and Mel last 13" MBA (work). Unless video editing/heavy PS, etc. the air is a better machine. Also keep in mind current 13" MBAs gain at least two additional connection options than your 11". The above kickstarter post can even help with storage.

Air not a possibility? The 13" screen is much better there.
