1. The guy who posted TFA is not a "professional"-- at least, not a professional graphics designer, professional photographer, or any other profession where ghosting would be an issue.
2. Apple has always been a consumer-focused company, not a company focused on businesses or professionals.
3. For as long as Apple has existed, there have been "Apple has jumped the shark this year because of X" posts. Always. They're almost as common as the Mac vs. PC posts, and almost as boring.
oh, and:
4. Do the words "passive matrix LCD" mean anything to you? I used to have an Apple laptop where the screen ghosted so much, even moving the pointer was like playing a game of "snake." And this was the way it was designed. Kids today really have nothing to complain about, except paying too much for something they didn't need in the first place.

This might seem strawmany but if you design your UI for flatland, there is a good chance your hardware is designed to be flatland as well. I assume that GP meant professionals as power users or the top percent of Apple's audience. 2. They have failed to solve a rather serious problem of their long-time customer, I don't know of better way to alienate your other customer than that. 4. And I used BASIC on commodore 64, where you had to plug it into a TV and used a cassette player. That doesn't mean you are lucky you can have a real dedicated 13 inch monitor and should stop complaining about not having a 15 inch monitor or a CD tray. It is a real problem, that would make me reconsider buying a MBP or a monitor for that matter.
