  • Curious, going back to colors... just when they got the white/black/aluminum thing goin' on across both iPods and Macs. The wheel goes 'round and 'round, I s'pose.

  • Wonder if iWork '07 will go up to $99 come Charts/Numbers. If it stays at $79, that's a great deal. 'course, bundling iWork with every new Mac would be an even better deal.

  • It's hard to imagine how the MBP casing would change.... aside from an nifty anodized black metal high-end model, and the magnetic latch from the MacBook. There's an Apple patent floating around here for a much wider trackpad extending the lengt…

  • Seems that Numbers is no-brainer for iWork '07 (knock on wood). iWork may be on a modest development track, but it's still a nicely developing "Works" suite. I also wish Apple would bundle iWork with new Macs, but they seem intent on keeping i…

  • Looks good -- just make it a little more bottom-heavy, separate the keyboard out (what's the use or point of having an integrated keyboard?), and you've got an excellent edu machine.

  • WoW sounds playable on the MacBook (average 15-30 FPS at medium-low settings w/ 1GB RAM), though not great. Q. Does the G965 require Conroe? It's a little confusing from that article, but I assume that it doesn't; it's just being announced along…

  • I think we'll see the G965 in the Rev B MacBooks and Rev B Intel Mac minis, come this fall/winter. It'll be a quiet update, so they'll do it as soon as they can, or whenever they want or need to. Geeks will always bitch about integrated graphics…
