awake with lid closed
Apple seems to presume that we want to close the lid and run it for hours that way. I would like to be able to close it and carry it down the hall without losing all my network connections and remote desktop windows. Instead I'm carrying an open laptop, which means I can't use that arm for anything else.

No, I think they're well aware of why people would want this feature. However, there will always be people who *will* close it and forget about it, and break their computer by leaving it that way for hours, and then they'd get mad at Apple and perhaps sue them (hey, if people sue Apple over the fact that batteries don't last forever, they'll sue over this). I think Apple made the right decision in not making this available.

I do want to close my powerbook and run it for hours that way.

For some network connections - most notably ssh connections in the terminal and my jabber IM client (I don't have any other connections left open) I can close the lid for up to 10 minutes (I haven't tested exactly how long, I just open the lid and am surprised to see I can still type in my ssh connection) and still keep the connection. |
