New Apples Next Week

Posted by Zonk on from the that-would-be-neat dept.

Vicissidude writes "CNN/Money reports: 'Apple may be gearing up to unveil a new slate of mini-Macs and may also release updated versions of its popular iBook laptop computers as early as next Tuesday, according to unconfirmed reports on a Web site that tracks Apple.' The Web site Think Secret reported three new Mac mini and two new iBook part numbers have appeared in Apple's retail database, indicating that new models are imminent. Apple would neither confirm nor deny the reports. The new mini models will be priced at $499, $599 and $699, with new iBooks priced at $999 and $1,299, according to the original story at Think Secret."

    Journalism is reporting INFORMATION most often to the masses. The masses are NOT going to go look up ThinkSecret. Thus repeating the info from the web, while it is a bit lazy, isn't nearly the evil thing you make it out to be. I guess I'm an evil immoral monster then. I'd rather 25000 Iraqis dead for THIER country IN their country and while I regret the deaths of ANY Soldiers, the miltary deaths have not yet equaled the losses at the WTC and Pentagon and those folks were NON-COMBATANTS. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a immoral evil monster who does not deserve the rights the men/woman have been dying to protect for 200+ years. I suggest you go read the Koran where it tells them to KILL the infidels where ever they may be and then tell me the war against Terror is unjustified. They are not going to give in until the last "infidel" is dead, so if you value your way of life, get on board or get the F*CK out of they way of those trying to protect themselves or mark my words, we WILL run over you. I'm done battling some one who is an idiot, I got much better things to do than deal with kids.

    I don't know about the GUI (never used it.. all my stuff is autoconf based.. heck I didn't even know there *was* a gui until I read it on slashdot a couple of months ago) but the gcc in xcode definately does *not* produce fat binaries by default.

    I'd be rather pissed off if it did. Doubling the size of the download doesn't seem to me to be a particularly sane idea.. better to provide 2 packages.
