Giving Twitter money

Twitter is trying to figure out how to monetize and I'm not sure I like the direction of it. Here's a short list, just off the top of my head, of what Twitter value I would be willing to pay for, depending on cost, of course.

• Removing ads and featured/sponsored tweets
• Clients
• Third party client API access
• API access to all my tweets ever (not just 3200)
• Direct messages to those who do not follow me (a la carte)

The MacBook of my dreams

I've been looking at buying a new MacBook for months. But no matter how long I stare at apple.com, it doesn't change the fact that Apple doesn't make a laptop that I want to buy. Right now, I have a 3 year old white MacBook with 4GB RAM, capacity for 6 GB. It's a Core 2 Duo (64 bit) and runs Lion. It runs well so if I'm gonna spend up to $2500 on a new machine, it better be a significant leap forward.

Here are some examples of what I'd like to buy:

• A 13" MacBook Pro with discrete graphics and a higher resolution display (like the MacBook Air display)
• A 13" MacBook Air with greater than 4GB RAM capacity
• A 15" MacBook Pro that won't inflict a shoulder injury

Alternative ideas I'm considering:

• A 13" MacBook Pro plus a Thunderbolt display
• A 15" MacBook Pro with the 1680x1050 display and I'll just deal with carrying it
• A 13" MacBook Air for coding on the go plus an iMac at home for the big computing needs.
• Waiting for the next round of laptops.

I'd love to hear suggestions. Am I missing something?
