Sorry I got it wrong that the macbookpro was the first, that still doesnt change the fact that integrated webcams were out before that in Windows laptops. Here are the facts:

Sony did it first several years before

If you don't believe me. Apple was the first to put it into a latch, but no, they were not the first to have integrated webcams in their systems. I also do not understand why people just post information that they make up or guess.

Not likely. Apple actually made a challenge to anyone in the world if they can make a virus for Mac OSX they would win $25,000. Also, Mac presents a challenge. I can write a virus that can get through Vista, but no one has ever been able to get through Mac Security.
Oh ya? A quick google search of OS X virus came up with this. Granted, it's a Trojan, but my point is still there.

Ding Ding Ding! We have a winner. Nearly every Mac owner I have ever talked to has been just like this. A little to pretentious for my tastes.

Also, I can't believe that people say Macs come ready to use out of the box. I had to get and install a ton of software and run many, many updates just get the laptop in working order. True you don't need drivers but there are definitely a ton of updates you have to deal with along with finding OS X Univeral Binary ready programs.
