I really like this concept. With the technology that Apple has worked with to power graphics in iPad and iPhone, it feels to me they can develop a custom solution to drive this at a reasonable cost versus putting a true "graphic card" inside a monitor. It would also allow the monitor to be sleek and sexy like its laptops.

First, a rumor with unnamed sources. 

Kids this days. The way these particular "unnamed sources" are presented (and their secondary source), makes the news 100% legit (not to mention intentionally leaking) to us experienced Apple-lers.

Back in the iPod/Jobs days we had to differentiate and evaluate between all kinds of rumors.

And places like AppleInsider etc were called "Rumor Sites" for a reason. The ease (and naivety) with which current AI readers seem to scorn all "rumors" amazes me...

Now get the fuck out of my lawn...

Sad, one of the best MacBooks ever made. You could actually upgrade it and replace the battery.

And yet, see the reactions in this thread.

Both Capslock and Numlock keys already have LEDs. That's nothing new.

You don't seem to understand APIs and how "kHIDUsage_LED_NumLock" and "kHIDUsage_LED_CapsLock" are new development -- that previously didn't need (or have) any APIs besides the generic keyboard API.

Not to mention there are TONS of other LED-related APIs there, such as: kHIDUsage_LED_PaperJam, kHIDUsage_LED_PaperOut, kHIDUsage_LED_Pause, kHIDUsage_LED_Play, kHIDUsage_LED_Record etc -- which don't have leds "already".

looking forward to all our clients wondering why they can't read their usb sticks at home or on older/other systems or pc's add nausea...

Yeah, let's stay forever with a stale filesystem because else some users might annoy support departments...

Besides USB sticks are usually FAT32 or xFAT as sold, and left at that in use.

Very few people format their USB sticks as HFS+, and those that do are not the kind of users that will wonder why those formatted in a new FS wont be read by older computers.

Close, but no cigar.

Thank you, Technically Correct Man!
