New MacBook Dual Core 2 Benchmarks

ApolloX writes "New Macbook Pro Benchmarks are now available. From the article: 'Like the iMac before it, Apple's MacBook Pro underwent an upgrade highlighted by a chip swap — the Core Duo processor that used to power Apple's pro laptop is gone, replaced by the next-generation Core 2 Duo. And as with our iMac benchmarks, these updated Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro models show a modest performance gain when compared to older systems running on Core Duo chips with the same clock speeds.' As expected, the new 15-inch Intel Dual Core 2 (2.33Ghz/2GB RAM) is the new king of Apple portables, with results for the 17-inch model still pending."

I'm getting tired of seeing all these bullshit, tomshardware-like Apple stories. Does anybody have an idea about what I can do to get Appledot stories all up out of my grill when I go to the main page? I've thought about going to, for example, politics.slashdot.org, games.slashdot.org, etc. individually, but I don't want to miss a story of value that is not in any one individual category. Any ideas? Anyone? Bueller?
