MacWorld MacBook Only a Prototype?
mahju writes "Hard Mac is reporting that Apple's, unoffical, response in Paris to the the lack of information on battery life, is that the MacBook Pro that were demoed at Mac World SF are only prototypes and the final versions are still under development.

Of the list of slashdot topics, only Microsoft and the Windows icons are of a derogatory and belittling nature.
Why is it so hard that the editors can't use the appropriate icons for them?
It's time this site starts to grow up. If you're paying for Slashdot, demand at least some pretext of impartial news.
"Now if Apple rolls out iTimeMachine at some point in the future, I'll consider eating my words."
I believe Steve Jobs already had this in the 70's. It's called the acid trip.
mahju's unoffical is the the story story. And 98% of /. stories still contain errors.
Dubya hams it up with his old chum and Bonesman pal, Jack Abramoff who currently is exposing several criminals whom he easily bought and paid for, like J.D. Hayworth, that you elected to represent you and protect you in Washington D.C. When asked about the landslide of photos that show Dubya palling around with Abramoff, always sporting that huge "I just got more money" grin, Dubya refused to comment but his mangy unbathed lapdog McClellan stated: "We also got pictures of him playing in aircraft in Texas while your parents served & died in Vietnam and we got no pictures much less record of him copmleting his dodge of Vietnam before disappearing about the time his Daddy was made head of the CIA with no experience or qualifications for that job." Rumors are flying that as long as Abramoff names only names that oppose W and his Bonesmen plots that Abramoff will be pardoned or given the fat life along with his family similar to another patsy, Jack Ruby.
Several photos are now being excused away by the White House in at attempt to sweep more facts and associations under the rug. This may serve however as an excellent distractant from the other ongoing cancers destroying America such as: the failure of the illegal aggression in Iraq, no WMD there, the best live training and recruitment station ever for terrorists in Iraq before they deploy stateside, the building of further anti-american sentiment in the middle east and amongst Muslims, Scooter Libby releasing any classified information he wants with a promise of a pardon from Dubya, Carl Rove just barely dodging an indictment also with a pardon promise from Dubya, hordes of other Republicans committing tax fraud & embezzlement & profitting from the position you elected them to while doing nothing for you, the ever weakening dollar you only work harder for, unstoppable juggernaut of inflation causing a skyrocket in the cost of living, out of control housing costs, lack of good jobs, poverty totally unchekced and cared about, the out of control deficit, big business empowered to further economically repress the people, the growing massive devide as Americans are no longer Americans but strictly only a religious and/or political label, a failing economy that cannot support the majority who is impoverished, no hope for a better future as none of the above are addressed or cared about, skyrocketing oil costs again despite no hurricane to excuse the gouging with an oil man in office stealing oil, no aid for the poor this winter as they are not important enough to not freeze, mixing of church and government just like Iran, complete disregard for the Constitution they swore to protect as they bypass it and all checks and balances in the name of "terror" with no warrants or check to this power, encouragement of racial profiling furthering bigotry and racism again in America, lack of accountability as another crisis is thrown out so the old one and charges from it are forgotten, more of your liberties and rights and freedoms are taken away for "your own good" and safety, torture of human beings not even getting a day in court, removal of any and all due process. This list could easily continue as this administration makes the biggest grab for power for the Executive "branch" ever in the history of the United States.

What will not be news is Americans continue to vote Democrat and Republican into office to push and continue the same failures that keep failing. If you are truly sick of it, vote out *ALL* encumbents and vote Libertrian otherwise you asked for it so enjoy it.
"and gave in to the marketing"
Grow a spine and quit your whining. Either the hardware performs according to your requirements, and you buy it, or it doesn't, and you don't. Crying about "giving in to the marketing" is absurd.
Why yes, I AM a rocket scientist!
