Hey Gadgettes,

I saw these and thought instantly of you!

I am intrigued as to which market they are trying to sell these to?
Possibly the 13-year-old girl who owns her own recording studio?

Love the show,

Iain from the UK

Hey its Brad from Buffalo, N.Y., and i have two things to say (AND PLEASE ANSWER BECAUSE THE HEADS OF ME AND MY FRIENDS ARE LITERALLY SPINNING OVER THE SECOND QUESTION)

The first i bet you will find on your own, but its another crazy MacBook Air completely covered in gold (which I’m guessing makes it heavier and thicker, which completely defeats the point of the overpriced laptop). But as a bonus, that didn’t come with the other glammed-up MacBook Airs, it also has a matching super drive in gold. Here's the link via Engadget.

SECONDLY MOLLY, who do you choose, Apple or Microsoft? You admitted on the Crave blog you don’t like your Zune anymore and you say that you will go back to iPods. But you always have problems with the iPods, too. Also you don’t like Vista, but i don’t thing you are going to buy a bunch of Macs anytime soon cause it also seems like you don’t like those, either. What will you do?

Your only option seems like Linux on the Asus Eee PC and a iRiver player. As for the iPhone you said you will get, I think your screwed there.

Love the show. Can't get enough. PLEASE ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS.
