You’d think they’d ask before just handing out everything you’re doing to some faceless company or do I just expect too much?
12.29New Macbook Pro
Well, this is probably a little late, but I’ve just got my hands on a 15″ MacBook Pro. Specs are 2.4ghz processor, 4gb ram, 500gb (self installed) hard drive and 256Mb of gpu memory.
I like the new keyboard, similar to the old macbook, but backlit and the new trackpad is pretty nice to use too.

Everyone knows solid state is the way of the future, so Toshiba stepped up and made a decently sized drive for people who like their storage space (but not reliability thanks to its reliance on MLC)
Hopefully we’ll see a 512 SLC drive sometime soon too, but I doubt either of these will be affordable, at least for the time being.
Having heard that Steve Jobs won’t be doing the keynote this year at IDG’s Macworld show in San Francisco, I think the only reasonable explanation is that Apple is dropping trade shows to make way for new Apple stores. They see the stores as an easier way to get money than to use a trade show to get vendors interested in working with them, as so many will be anyway.
Apple will most likely not launch anything big this year at Macworld, unlike in years previous so Steve is less needed for a product launch (If Shiller had done the product announcement that birthed the iPod Hi-Fi, would anyone have expected much out of it?) Steve Jobs isn’t ill, or at least he hasn’t let on to the fact that he is to anyone very close to him yet so it is very unlikely that the health of the Apple founder is anything to do with his decision not to do a keynote this year.
Macworld rumors this year already include a Mac Mini refresh, an iPhone nano and a Netbook, only a few weeks until we find out what’s actually happening.
