I'm trying to decide which Macbook Pro model to buy - the $1500 13-inch model (Intel Core 2 Duo) or the $1800 15-inch model (2.4GHz Intel Core i5). Would the 15-inch notebook be noticeably faster / better performing than the 13-inch notebook?

If not, how about the $2000 15-inch model (2.53GHz Intel Core i5 processor)?

A software update was sent to my Droid X this morning, but I clicked "Remind me later" or whatever because I had some calls to make. Now I want to download the software update. Can I do it now, or do I have to wait until it automatically starts again?

Or would I have to buy a whole new Droid X to get the software update?

I've been accepted into college, and I'm curious whether I can go to college on a Marine Corps scholarship, then serve after completing college.

I purchased my video iPod right when it came out. If I mail it in now for a battery replacement, will Apple just replace the battery, or will they just give me one of the new 120 GB iPods?

The only ones that I can come up with are Lone Star Steakhouse & Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.

I recently joined the iPod craze and got myself one of those nifty little mp3 players. My wife has had hers for a while, and she has all of her songs stored on our sole computer. Unfortunately, while she is a classical music fan, I prefer old-time Rock & Roll.

Is there some way for us to create two different libraries on the same computer (under the same account), so that all of her preferred music will be downloaded onto her iPod, and only my separate music will be downloaded to mine?

Is it somehow more beneficial to obtain, say, 13 mg of Vitamin C from an apple versus a vitamin? Are our bodies able to absorb these "raw" vitamins more easily?

I've seen Snakes on a Plane, Air Force One, and Passenger 57 and I loved them all. What are some other reccomendations for this genre?

If so, where and how could I do that?

I realize both have their benefits, but which one is preferable? Everyone has heard of the numerable benefits of whole grains, but lentils provide a better source of fiber and protein.

Wheat bread (not "whole wheat") or sourdough? Also, would a "roll" beat both of them (I'm sorry, I know that's not specific...I'm thinking of a white kaiser roll in this case...)

I'm a big guy, so I need a lot of fuel to keep my mind running:

-4 oz. salmon

-2 slices whole grain toast

-1 apple

Is this a good mix to keep my brain powered?

I'm loading up on carbs to increase energy for a run. What is a better source of fuel: Reduced-Fat Triscuit crackers (which are whole wheat and have a small amount of heart-healthy monos) or apple rings (all sugar carbs, but still low GI and full of nutrients)?

I realize that fats, carbs, and protein all play vital functions and none should be limited, but should the consumption of one group be elevated in order to expedite recovery?

(I'm using soy milk with the same fat content as 2%, if that makes a difference).

I do strength training about 3 days a week. I work out at the very end of the day, so I usually just have a post-workout shake and go to sleep after working out. Is it more beneficial for lean muscle mass gain if I load up on calories all day prior to my workout, or on the days in between my training days?
