Now, that makes sense. There is no obvious reason why it'd be impossible to produce a 13" retina display while 15" are out in the wild. Once again, I am sure the 15" is an unfinished machine. Apple *had* to announce something big at WWDC; if they …

I run Mail, Safari, Xcode, Terminal, Text Wrangler, Pages and various other utilities on a daily basis. Never needed more than the original 2 GB. I remember the old days when I was programming on Atari ST. A guy named Dominique Laurent had programm…

As a former digital hardware engineer, I have a strong negative feeling about this. Soldered RAM means a a complex operation if just one circuit fails or the connexion on a single pin floats, etc., which happens sometimes with reflow soldering. Gl…

It’s about as expensive here in Europe: € 2,000 even with the educational rebate (sale taxes included, though). Even if I like the idea of a Nvidia GPU to do OpenCL computing and OpenGL work, I think I’ll wait for the next iteration: Haswell CPU…

The fact the NVidia has won the race for the next MacBook Pro round with its Fermi architecture is known since the beginning of the year. From a GPGPU standpoint, Fermi is going to provide extended precision floating point capacity (80-bit). B…

It seems strange to me that we did not witness the traditional never ending story about leaked parts. Few weeks before release, it seems now established that people anonymously post pictures of various elements belonging to new models, thereby gen…

Except if Intel did a special run for Apple, did I get it right that new Intel integrated graphics lack openCL capability?

?that Apple will use the Intel chipset? Is it the only choice at present?

Light peak seems to be ready. I see no reason for Apple to further delay its adoption, except of course if the chips are not yet fully functional. Since the connector seems to be minute, and the removal of the optical drive likely, we could expect t…
