The current MacBook Air has quite a huge bezel around the screen. Apple could almost (if not fully) fit a 15" screen into it when reducing that bezel. OLEDs can be made with almost no bezel and so thin that a 15" OLED might fit into the curren…

The next revision will likely have a dual-core CPU that can handle 2 threads each for a total of 4 threads, which should still be a nice improvement. They're 'quad-thread' but not 'quad-core'. Those CPUs are rumored to become available in Q4 2009 …

I'm not sure if people are aware of this. You can order a 13" MBP from ColorWare (those paintjob guys). If you get it painted by them they offer all kinds of customizations (coloring different parts in different colors). As a new feature they n…

I'm with the Chinese! Sod patents! All inventions should benefit all humankind. No exclusivity. Everyone should have access to all.

Designwise there aren't really that many options. Simply because it takes time to establish a new fashion, to gain acceptance for wearing a new breakthrough computing device. Some examples: How many people really wear their MP3 players around…

Why not just provide a dock connector -> HDMI cable? Such a cable is surely not much bigger than the added bulk of the projector. And almost everyone and their friend has a TV at home with an HDMI connector. Makes much more sense than a low-…

So isn't it more likely that any August event is about Apple catching up in the home entertainment area, which could very well also include new iPods - rather than an event about the MacTouch? I'd say it should be obvious that the Apple TV gets…

I agree that Apple will likely not use Steve to merely introduce new iMacs or new iPod touches. A press release would seem sufficient with even Phil presenting a bit too much. However, I can see that Apple would use Steve to introduce a cornucop…

The 'big' announcement will be about: - Snow Leopard shipping - New iMacs with quad-core CPU on the high-end - Newfound love for Blu-Ray drives in the high-end iMac (and the surprise announcement that SL now supports Blu-Ray - BTO option for Bl…

Apparently the miniDisplayPort to DualLink DVI adapter with the latest firmware version 1.0.2 fixes all issues. The adapter's firmware is not user-upgradable, one needs to have it replaced in an Apple Store. So that's not the reason holding Apple …

And I don't understand why LG would need to 'develop' a fingerprint resistent OLED display. The iPhone 3G S has a thin glass plate with oleophobic coating, underneath it a capacitive sensor and underneath it an LCD. What's so hard in swapping …
