Top Apple Rumors, Bricks, Low Price, NVIDIA

Vigile writes "With the news that Apple will be releasing new MacBook products on October 14th, speculation has begun on what exactly those new products will be. Tips of a manufacturing process involving lasers and a single 'brick' of aluminum are catching on, as is the idea of a sub-$1000 netbook-type device. More interesting might be the persistent rumors of an NVIDIA chipset adoption that would drastically increase gaming ability, allow MacBooks to improve their support for OpenCL and take advantage of the new Adobe CS4 software with GPU acceleration. Will NVIDIA's ailing chipset business get a shot in the arm next week?"

    Perhaps it's a new iPhone update designed to turn all unlocked phones into "bricks".

    Oh that's a hoot...

    It's a GAME.

    You don't have to worry about the trigger pull, the weight of the
    gun, the length of the gun or keeping the gun steady during recoil.

    That wii controller is not going to have any of the drawbacks of an AK-47, or an M-16 or even a 9mm Luger.

    Oh puh-leeze, if there is any company that has been given a free pass on quality issues, it's Apple. Apple's hardware is no better than any other manufacturer and the OS is crap, but they made it pretty which is all that matters in the shallow minds of their consumers.

    Offtopic? Someone posts moo and I reply with a piece of Apple history. Just because you don't know who Clarus is and were too lazy to click the link doesn't make me offtopic.
