Enjoy!

A new MacBook

Rumors are wrong! Apple didn't release a new low-end version of the PowerBook. Instead it rebranded it and called the line MacBook. The new thing is sporting the new Intel dual-core Yonah processor.

The iMac has also been shifted to the new architecture

Also, there's this new application called iDVD shipping with iLife. iPhoto was also improved.

Details of new stuff here:

For those waiting for a new iBook. Sorry to disappoint you but there isn't any...

Now I can go back to sleep...I was half-awake 'til this time. Well, I guess I still have to eye for that iBook huh? hehehe :-P

Ah, no! The previous version of the PowerBook along that spec would probably get cheaper! Let's just wait and see :-)

Mac OS X on an Intel machine

I have been craving for a Mac since I started with photography. With news that Apple will be shipping the Mac OS with Intel hardware, this dream is somehow coming true. Would this mean cheaper iBooks and Powerbooks? We don't know.

I found this link that seems to be very interesting. It's about Building a Mac using Intel hardware. You might not want to wait for the new ones to be shipped by Apple ;-)

Nah, I still think it would still be nice to have the Apple logo glowing in the dark in my digital dark room. hehehehehe. However it would be fun to have a Windows free machine at home dual-booted with my favorite Linux flavor. Yes, windows free!!!
