Anyone notice the text of the banner is thin? As in a thin notebook? Air as in lite?

According to the 'leaked' keynote (see above) the new MacBook will be 0.8" thick. Does everyone think that's the real deal then?

I hope not. There's no mention of cinema displays, a MacBook Pro revision or AppleTV.

With all these crazy rumours flying around I'm going to hold off my order for an iMac at least until the Keynote by Jobs is over, I highly doubt any kind of iMac upgrade etc, but who knows.

Either way, the excitment is enjoyable.

I personally would 'like' to see an Apple TV with a Blu-Ray Drive, I would be so there, and it could really help end the HD Format war considering the HD-DVD camp latest developments.

It would be absolutely stupid to buy anything from the Apple store at this point in time. Wait until the day after the presentation.

Of course the "leaked" keynote is fake. Why would Jobs' keynote notes include parenthetical descriptions of what he's presenting? The obvious tell is that the notes contain bits of data that apple geeks would want to know (new macbook keys are slightly lighter than laptop casing) but Jobs would never bother talking about during his speech. Could you possibly imagine Steve Jobs taking a moment from describing the brand new Macbook to point out the color difference between the keys and the casing?

the mac mini is highly profitable, man. it's just like a laptop except the most expensive/annoying parts to build on a laptop are gone! no expensive screen or annoying keyboard keys or expensive touchpad.

i hope they don't get rid of it, as i plan on buying one soon :)

    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent

      Just the price of doing business. The scamble to pull as much from the web as possible is happening, and it's happening before a case like this changes how or what is legal do to with AI in terms of data harvesting. But even then as we've seen with the likes of Google who ignore cookie requests and just accept the fact they'll get fined, it's built into their business price model now. AI is here, its not going away. Their reward if any from the court case would be best suited to trying to incorprate AI or licence their end points as authentic human verified content. The problem is, as we've seen these same news papers are using AI themselves.
    • IBM reveals sub-1nm chip technology, production expected in another 5 years

      Which finger's fingernail are we talking about? I can see how not having this info can lead to massive differences in interpretation.
    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of

      This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
