New iBooks 'Any Day Now'

Posted by timothy on from the rumorous-is-putting-it-mildly dept.

teewurstmann writes "Thinksecret reports that 'sources have confirmed that Apple's consumer laptop will receive a long overdue refresh very soon, possibly as early as this week.' They speculate that the new iBooks might have a widescreen display. I sure hope they are right! I've been waiting to buy one of those suckers for half a year now!"

    Don't forget to snap your thin gay dicks shut in the widescreen lid!

      Out of curiousity, how does one snap one's dick shut? Sounds like a party trick.

    I agree!

    Widescreen exists only so that movie makers can cut the top and bottom parts of the screens, hence making it easier to hide microphones and lights, and save on decor.

    4:3 fits better in the human visual scope. Programming or surfing the web is certainly done better that way, unless the widescreen monitor tilts 90 degrees which is even better.

    yo!

    Who here on /. cares about Apple's new inferior iBook, come on now..... If anybody here is actually using a Mac, you're a tool. Go buy some $1 a piece proprietary songs. Once they get on an X86 and get hacked to shit it might be respectable to roll with a Mac in this community. timothy's a Poser.

    Agreed. When are people going to figure out that widescreen is awful for just about every computer task out there besides watching movies and playing certain games?

    Yeah, and the mouse only has one button, and you can't get Visio for it. Doorstops if you ask me. Don't get me started on trying to copy a floppy on my 128K Mac.
