That something in the air better be my 13" MBP/Ultraportable. Argh. I really don't want a 15" MBP, but the build quality of the MacBook I bought last week is uber cheap. And the damn thing is already all scratched up!
Come on Apple, don't let me down two years in a row..
oh god, let's pray Steve doesn't do a Microsoft on us and start relentlessly propagating 'the cloud...'
That's one of the big differences between Steve and Bill. Bill will talk about things on an abstract level, and how useful they will be in the abstract. Steve will talk about how you can do x, y, and z and either casually mention what enables it or leave it implicit.
There's also the more obvious and direct connections to the iPhone and a distributed wireless network of AirPorts...

You're right. We seem to have an all new, very light and clean look.
You might be onto something... there were supposed to be talks between Steve Jobs and the president of FON, a large WiFi-sharing community. I had to search a little but here is the link: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles...hare_wifi.html
Too light, like that gawd-awful Segoe font that M$ uses in all its ads.

Its definitly not Helvetica. It's another Myriad variant.

Why post up the date on an ad that has already been out for so long if just to remove it after MacWorld?

Sounds like you might be right.

That is very unusual. I think it's either a lighter font of Myriad or a proprietary derivative.

iPhone redux announced in January and arriving in June is my bet....
That doesn't make much sense. Why would they torpedo their sales for the next 6 months?

Come on guys/gals, AirPort? WiFi? MacBookNano?
Nah, it's much simpler than that. They're going to provide free bean burritos for everyone before the keynote.
<edit; damn you shai969, you had to sneak that in just ahead of me, huh?>

The font used is Myriad Pro Light. Not the typical Myriad used by Apple, but Myriad nonetheless.

It's the "light" variant of the Myriad font. Here's a comparison.
