MBA Humor
March 11, 2008 Category: Apple No Comments »
The Macbook Air has come up in quite few of my favorite tech blogs in the last week, and not with reviews or analysis. Apparently, people are having a hard time getting used to the sexy, slim form factor of Apple’s newest laptop. First in the news, was the story of Michael Nygard, who was pulled aside by the always brilliant Transportation Security Administration (TSA) because his optical drive-less and limited-port laptop confused the person running the X-ray machine. A younger worker eventually helped clear up the mess, and Mr. Nygard was on his way, to his already departed flight. The other entertaining story involves famed tech journalist Steven Levy. He managed to throw away his MBA, which was on loan from Apple, in the Sunday newspaper that was tossed on top of it. This just may be me, but I don’t know why I would ever read the newspaper if I had a gorgeous, lightweight Macbook Air to get my news instead. [TSA and MBA Trash]

Internationally, the Apple Store was down this morning–as is usual for a product release/update. Today the MacBook Pro and MacBook were upgraded to Penryn processors. The MBP also received the multi-touch trackpad, recently released with the MacBook Air, and the newest GeForce graphics cards.

Leopard Update!
February 12, 2008 Category: Apple No Comments »
For all my fellow early adopters out there, Apple released a much needed Leopard update yesterday. Hopefully, 10.5.2 will provide a good wireless fix, which I have been clamoring for since I installed Leopard in November. If you don’t know how to use Software Update follow the link to Apple’s website for more information and the download. [Apple]
