  Glossy black-cockatoo
The glossy fl-cockatoo lives in coastal woodlands and drier forest areas, open inland woodlands or timbered watercourses where casuarinas (or sheoaks), its main food trees, are common.
As the glossy fl-cockatoo feeds mostly on casuarinas and nests in eucalypts, try to retain existing stands of casuarina/eucalypt and extend this habitat where possible.
As the glossy fl-cockatoo nests in both living and dead trees, removing dead trees for firewood and other uses is harmful to the birds.

We've been buying matte-finish laptops long after the PC laptop world went glossy, and there hasn't exactly been any outcry over the "gloss gap." So it seems to me that Mac users are not the idiots here, demanding shiny screens on their various Books for emotional reasons.
The glossy screens are indeed sharper, brighter, and higher in contrast, because the image (and backlighting) aren't diffused by the anti-glare coating like they are on matte screens.
Glossy screens are, indeed, cheaper to manufacture, though probably only marginally so given any kind of economy of scale (i.e., as long as you're making more than a couple of hundred or so).
