I caught it - I'm surprised they left it up for as long as they did. Keep in mind that this doesn't necessarily mean MacBooks next week; what it does mean, though, is that they're probably pulling things together for a launch relatively soon.

It's funny how just about everyone, even analysts, have to scrounge for any hint of product updates from Apple. If this were just about any other company, they'd probably have had their plans made public for a month now.

I think Cory's prediction is pretty realistic, though I think a few things would be different: For the $999 model: a 60 GB drive. If the $599 Mac mini can have one, the $999 MacBook can too. The mid-range model will be $1299. Apple likes tha…

I think that's what Apple had hoped for initially. The only concern is whether or not Apple would have to sacrifice the size/performance of other components, like the hard drive or the graphics chipset.

theapplegenius is (mostly) right. Hypertransport on the original Xbox was as much about preventing the slow connection that would have been there otherwise (it's basically a Celeron 733 with a GeForce 3.5). The Xbox 360 needs the bandwidth it has …

Before I begin my post in earnest: It's tomorrow (as in "to morrow," the archaic term)! Don't use apostrophes on nouns unless they're possessive ("the shuffle's battery life")! Thank you. Anyways, I'm most inclined to think the event i…

Circumstantial (but possibly corroborative) evidence: Future Shop has all its available Mac minis (1.25 GHz English and French, 1.42 GHz French) listed as clearance items, and are on sale from their regular prices. These are the 512 MB models, n…

I think you've got some things going the right way, but I have to bring in a dose of realism. iPod hub: I don't think Apple will have Bluetooth or a camera. A 30 GB iPod is $299 without that, so going to a 40 GB drive with a larger screen is a…

I'm inclined to think that it's real. A lot of the people who are first to cry "fake!" often don't fully account for little details, the past history of similar photos, and so on. If it's from the same person (or people) who got the 5th-gen iPod…

Given that Apple has allegedly stopped bulk Mac mini shipments, I'm wondering if Feb. 28th might have Mac minis after all. The real question is what Apple could do to make their price points with Intel's Core chips. Practically speaking, I think…

Although I'm sure I'll be caught out in some way by whatever Apple announces, I'd like to venture a guess as to Apple's regular MacBook lineup. 1.67 GHz Core Solo 13.3" 1280x800 screen 512 MB 533 MHz DDR2 RAM 60 GB Serial ATA hard drive C…

Look at it this way: once there's a native Intel version of Aperture, the MacBook Pro will be in an entirely different league of performance compared to the PowerBook G4. It's impossible to comment on how well it would run without first-hand expe…
