This morning I decided that I wanted to watch the movie The Dark Knight, but since I lack a membership to any video rental stores in the area, I decided that I would give the iTunes store a try and rent the movie that way. It cost me $3.99 for the movie, since it is a new release- I assume that is on par with Blockbuster and other video stores? Anyway, I made this short video documenting my experience as I watched the movie download for something like 35 minutes! I am not sure if that is a normal download time for movies on iTunes, but the quality of the video was great and I have watched the movie twice so far today! So, enjoy this little video I made that I hope expresses the boredom I felt as I waited for my movie to download!

  1. Half an hour is actually quite good for 1.5GBs, at least in my area (Toronto). The screen on that Whitebook looks so dull; was the brightness turned down? How does it compare to the screen on your new Macbook Pro?

  2. Mark,

    Yes, the brightness on the screen was turned down. I used to keep the screen on low brightness to conserve energy. The screen on the new Macbook Pro is much MUCH brighter and the colors are more brilliant. After using my macbook pro for a few days and then looking at the screen on the white macbook, I couldn’t believe that I used to think the white macbook’s screen was so amazing.

    Thanks for the comment!
