    Anyone ever noticed how much mundane Apple news gets posted on Slashdot? A minor speed increase on laptops doesn't seem to warrant a full story.

    And, if you look in the categories for stories, there are tons of Apple specific categories for no real reason:

    Apple Wireless
    Apple Hardware
    Apple Software
    Apple Desktops
    iMac
    Apple Media
    Apple Networking
    OS 9
    OS X
    Apple Utilities

    Look, we're in the "Apple Laptop" category for the love of god, what is the deal?
