  • Any word on upgrades? I bought v9 from the Mac App Store last month, as I didn't expect a significant update so quickly after the July release. I'll be disappointed if support (including bug fixe releases) for v9 doesn't happen now that v10 is re…

  • No need for the Whilst I am aware that the pound has dropped in value recently, it hasn't dropped by the level Apple are suggesting, and there is clear profiteering here. Or not as the case may be, since I haven't heard anyone in the UK say the…
  • Not really a great time to draw comparisons since the iMac and Mac Pro are both towards the end of their life cycle. I have an Aug 07 2.0 GHz iMac and is it plenty fast enough for the light photo editing and programming that I do. For the price I…
  • Having thought about, I think my key gripe is that yesterday a $1299 MacBook cost £829 in the UK. Today, a $1299 MacBook costs £949 in the UK. I was all set to purchase a system for £829 when the updates came around, but I'll definitely be keeping m…

  • Looks like the ports are a similar to the current MacBook, with the magsafe just out of shot. The logo beside the smallest shot looks like a display logo though. Mini-DVI? This suggests that this is either a 15" MacBook or a 13.3" MacBook with th…
  • A number of people have complained about these handouts to the rich. However, bear in mind that since they don't really occur until 2012, if an Exec really underperforms in the next four years, he'll be kicked out and receive nothing. Sounds like a …

  • How strange. Maybe this explains why the UK back to school promo gives £95 off a nano when the 8Gb nano is £109 - maybe a 4GB nano is to be introduced at £95? I'm not convinced though. Perhaps it is only to be produced for a short period through…
  • Sounds promising. If this is all true, they'll sell boat loads of these. I would expect invites to go out within the next 10 days though if they are starting to ship. This would appear to contradict the previous 14th October rumour.

  • It seems the allegedly the September event is going to bring (1) new MacBooks, (2) new MacBook Pros, (3) news on the fate of the Mini (upgrade or replacement) (4) new iPods, nanos and iPod Touchs. That is a heck of a lot, so I think it would be f…

  • This could be an interesting development. I'll be watching the legal wrangling with interest, although as a small startup they will require quite a budget to pursue this litigation fully. I'm sure every mac user would welcome some competition to …
  • Seems Apple is intent on ripping of UK consumers though. £199 when it is now only $229? I think someone at Apple needs to check the currency calculator - they haven't lowered the price at all here.
  • Thanks for the suggestions folks. There are some nice alternatives and I've added a few bookmarks, but I'm still leaning towards the Micropods right now. My stereo is in the living room beside the Mac mini and hence not in the study with the iMac…
  • The new keyboard is a really cool keyboard for sofa surfers, nice and small - a great match for the under TV Mac mini. I just wish that they offered a full sized bluetooth keyboard that I could get to go with the new iMac. I've not used a USB keyboa…
