I put my MBA into sleep mode, lid is always closed when connected to this display, and it turns on every two minutes to display the login screen. Is this normal interaction with a connected MBA ?

new model ETA?
When will there be a new model of this? I assume the new model will:
- have usb 3.0
- have the 2012 MacBook power adapter
- be thin like the new iMacs

Connecting the MacBook to Apple Thunderbolt Display.
I have a MacBook Pro with a buggered up display (it's got a green line running through it). I am planning to get an Apple Thunderbolt Display, the question is will the green line get mirrored on the thunderbolt display thereby defeating the whole purpose?

Are there any high resolution desktop displays?
Almost five years ago, Jeff Atwood wrote "Where Are The High Resolution Displays?": http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2007/06/where-are-the-high-resolution-displays.html
Brian Lam's The Wirecutter thinks that the best desktop display available now is the Dell Ultrasharp U2412M, which has just 94 PPI, less than my 13" MacBook Pro at 116 PPI.
iOS retina displays have got me thinking:

Has anyone tried hooking up an XBox 360, PS3, etc. to this?
I'm wondering how it handles being sent a 1080p signal.

Best Mini-ATX Motherboard? Mini-DP PC Video Card?
I'm looking to build a small-form-factor PC to coexist with an Apple Thunderbolt display; any recommendations for the video card with mini-displayport video output?
How about a mini-ATX motherboard? I'm looking to use a Fractal Design Mini case.
Thanks!

Will Thunderbolt 27" Cinema Display work with DisplayPort MB Pro?
I've got a mid-2010 MB Pro and a mid-2011 MB Air. So the Pro has MiniDisplay and the Air has Thunderbolt.
My primary use case for wanting the 27" display is for work I do on the Pro. I have not found a definitive answer yet of whether the Thunderbolt 27" will work with my DisplayPort MB Pro. I realize that even if it does, that the usb/firewire, etc ports will not, but what about the display?
If the answer is no then I want to grab a DisplayPort model from the refurb store, else I'll probably...

Can you transfer files between two Macs using Thunderbolt ports and a Thunderbolt cable?
A few months ago, I bought a 15" MacBook Pro. As many of you know, it's equipped with a Thunderbolt port meaning I can utilize the technology to exchange data at an unbelievably fast rate... except that there's not a single consumer-level product on the market just yet. The professional-grade RAIDs I've seen cost upwards of a thousand bucks, not something I'm willing to splurge on any time soon. That being said, I'd love to take advantage of Intel and Apple's brainchild. Does anyone know if it's...

Can the daisy-chainable thunderbolt port be used to feed signal to a displayport display?
I have a Dell U2711 which I currently connect to with a mini displayport to displayport cable. If I had a thunderbolt Mac and a 27" thunderbolt display, could I run dual display by connecting my existing cable to the thunderbolt display?

Now that Apple is creating devices that can pump ethernet through Thunderbolt, should we expect an Airport Extreme with Thunderbolt ports?
Imagine wiring your house with Thunderbolt and getting 10Gbps between all of your devices! I'm not sure the tech can handle long cables... but it's fun to think about.
