Sunday, January 4, 2009
Seth Weintraub over at Computerworld reports: I’ve heard rumors that Apple is going to make some radical changes to the 17-inch MacBook Pro’s battery configuration. My understanding is that the new unibody 17-inch laptop will last as much as 50% longer on a single charge as the current 17-inch laptop. Additionally, Apple is building in [...]

Saturday, December 20, 2008
Brian Chen of Wired recently wrote an absurdly alarmist and strikingly unthoughtful article about Steve Jobs’ absence from Macworld.

But when a big time writer for a site like Wired haphazardly throws together an article that lacks any semblance [...]

Continue reading...Why Steve Jobs isn’t speaking at Macworld
Wednesday, December 17, 2008
Though seemingly coming out of left field, Steve Jobs’ decision not to speak at the Macworld keynote this January makes a lot of sense for a number of reasons. First of all, Macworld expectations got out of control and put too much pressure on Apple to deliver amazing products at arbitrary times. Second, it’s the [...]
Continue reading...Steve Jobs’ health not a factor in his decision not to attend Macworld
Tuesday, December 16, 2008
Jim Goldman of CNBC is reporting that Steve Jobs is in fine health, and that that wasn’t a factor in choosing Phil Schiller to deliver the keynote at Macworld ’09 in San Francisco.

Monday, December 15, 2008
And the rumor’s keep on coming, but this one is at least believable. Wired is reporting that Apple is set to unveil an updated MacMini at Macworld this January.
