So, if it turns out the only thing "in the air" is an oversized 13" (WTF?!?) "ultralight" can we send Apple an iStink bomb?

Well, this doesn't seem too Apple-esque, but maybe that external Blu-ray drive I'm envisioning for the so-called ultra-portable Mac will also connect to the Apple TV via USB as a player. Anyhow, the 3 main things Apple needs to do with the Apple …

Personally, I'm hoping for a Mac mini with a built-in Blu-ray drive. Maybe this external drive for the sub-notebook is actually a Blu-ray drive that will work with any Mac.

Why don't they just put a bootable SD slot in it and give everyone OS X on some kind of Secure Digital ROM card? Anyone make ROMs in that size these days, ~4GB? I wonder what the cost would be like. DVDs are obviously quite cheap.

Bose has some very good designs for using (usually) inexpensive drivers in a folded chamber to produce good sound. But, their focus is on what you can do with inexpensive drivers and a folded chamber design. You will get room filling sound and dec…

The crappy specs of the AppleTV and their solution is to put a screen on it?!? No surprise that we'd see a rev 1.1 iPhone as well as 2.0 next year. Sounds like a bunch of analyst guesswork crap to me.

Thanks for the good pictures of it. Now that I've seen it ... Wow! A keyboard really looks stupid on an eBook reader. Just another example of how Amazon's need to pay Sprint for service on this device makes it far more cumbersome than if th…

I continue to be puzzled by this use of "ultra-portable" and "13-inch" in the same sentence.

Wow, as other's have said, they reported the blatantly obvious differences in Apple's product line and it's pricing. What scares me is that they apparently thought "perception of sales staff" is an accurate means of measure!?! And then somebod…

A PATENT FILING?!?!?! I own one of these. Companies made them like 15 years ago. Oh ... they're talking about a foldable/expandable one. I have to imagine these kinds of things would produce horrible vibration in today's much, much higher spee…

The fact of the matter is that Apple trying to sell US-centric business models, devices, and pricing in other parts of the world ain't gonna fly. The rest of the world has some combination of non-exclusive deals with carriers, device portability ac…
