Ditching the optical drive made the Macbook Air super-light but also super-frustrating in the event of a major system crash or just needing to reinstall pre-loaded software quickly.

It was inevitable. FaceTime for Mac has been rapidly followed by Facelette – Chatroulette remade for Apple fans. It’s a pretty basic app (Zach Holman says he made it in about an hour and calls it “the dumbest experiment ever”) but then, the FaceTime for Mac app is quite basic itself. Facelette prompts you to enter your email address when you visit the app and matches you up with someone to FaceTime call. Obviously sticking your email address out there is slightly risky but Holman does give fair warning: “Privacy policy: dude, you’re submitting an email or phone number to a public site for strangers to call you. Let thank sink in. Cool! That said, this is fun. If you stop using Facelette for more than two minutes…you’ll be signed out. I’ll regularly purge all inactive accounts.” Let us know if you have any interesting experiences using Facelette.
