Typical Apple - now I've got to go and buy these iLegs to go with my frickin iDesk. Just because my last desk had legs, they think I'll re-use them on my new one.

im guessing imac GPU boost to 512, bigger fs bus, no processor speed jump. on the other hand apple like to have there new machines on the front page as long as possible, so i doubt they would replace the 1week old macbook/pro with imac

How about an Apple UPS.

i can see it now.

"Supply power to all your mac gear during an outage so that you dont miss 1 minute of special time with your friend. The new iUPS with a 48Hour 2000W rated capacity should be enough to get you through the worst of times. Best of all, take it with your for a weekend away in the car and never be without your Quad Xeon again."

(Perhaps it uses a fuel cell

Boom.


Or maybe not.

Maybe they'll just update the store without closing it beforehand. One minute there's nothing, then the next minute, HEY BUY THIS IT'S NEW!

Yep, oh well, next week it is... stupid "oh hey everyone, the sdk is now a beta and we're not going to have free apps, unless we approve them".


They need to take a page from Nintendo with their WiiWare policies...
