I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking that I need to shut up as you let the wonderful of the world’s first lederhosen MacBook sleeve wash over you. Sure, fine, getting out of your way.
Well done! You bought a Blackbox case, crafted from bamboo, for your Apple device and now you’re eco-friendly and green, and sustainable and so on and so forth. But now your Apple whatever is also wonderfully bulky.
Little is known about this 3G-enabled MacBook Pro prototype, but we imagine one of the many reasons it didn’t pass Apple’s notorious muster is Steve Jobs probably blew a gasket at the aesthetics alone.
One security researcher discovered the password protecting the microcontroller in MacBook batteries is not unique for every notebook and is easily hackable. It could brick your battery, or worse, install malware that’s nearly impossible for the average person to scrub.
Holy crud. While it’s just a benchmark test and those don’t accurately reflect yadda yadda yadda YOU GUYS. The 1.7GHz Core i513-inch MBA just blew the door off of last year’s 2.67GHz Core i7 17-inch MacBook Pro on GeekBench. And did more than twice as well as last year’s tricked 13-inch Air. That is bonkers.
Remember that guy who stole a laptop and had his pictures posted all over the internet by victim Joshua Kaufman? Well consider justice served. Muthanna Aldebashi of Alameda was arrested yesterday by Oakland police on suspicion of possessing stolen goods.
Joshua Kaufman claims his MacBook was lifted from his California apartment, and the police aren’t doing a thing to help him get his stolen property back. Just like the others before him, Kaufmann has been tracking the guy with Hidden, a theft-tracking app. He has creepy pictures of the thief using his laptop in the car, logging into Facebook and even sitting in bed shirtless with it. Eww. [ThisGuyHasMyMacBook]
On Dell’s page for the XPS 15z: “Just 0.97″ (24.68mm) at its thickest point, XPS 15z is the thinnest 15″ PC on the planet”. Clicking the fine print, it says, “Based on a Dell internal analysis as of May, 2011.”
