Yes, you read correctly: it’s the iTit. No matter how magical that Apple pretends its products are, they’ll never quite have the mesmerizingly magical power of the most simple and primal of basics: a good pair of knockers. However, that’s not stopping designers Mostafa Tohidifar & David Abbasi from trying to bottle a little of that breast magic and package it in an optical mouse.
Apple quietly released its MacBook update today. The new laptop gets a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and an upgraded battery that delivers 10 hours of work time (up from 7). Despite the upgrades, the MacBook stays at the same $999 price. The MacBook also features NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics, a 250 GB hard drive and 2 GB of DDR3 memory. The outside remains the same, featuring a polycarbonate unibody case.
The new MacBook is live on Apple’s retail site, so if you like what you see in terms of specs vs. price, go get ‘er. [via Engadget]
We’ve gotten nearly all the info we can expect 5-inch Dell Streak, which looks pretty nice if you want a large smartphone without the phone or a tiny little tablet without much tablet (don’t worry, there are bigger ones on the way). But until now there was no word on when to expect the tablet. Michael Dell finally spilled the goods.
According to VentureBeat and “multiple sources,” Acer is preparing to launch several devices that run on Google’s Chrome OS. The company will unveil these mysterious new devices at Computex Taipei show early next month (June 1-5). It’s not yet known what exactly the devices will look like or even what type of devices they will be, though Chrome OS was designed to run primarily on netbooks, so these won’t likely be tablets.
Boy Genius Report got its hands all over some information about one of the more interesting future iPad competitors: the RIM Blackberry tablet. In what seems to be a rather odd, limiting move, Blackberry is designing the device to be a companion device, which will connect via either Wi-Fi or a Bluetooth connection with a Blackberry phone.
The new Microsoft Office is officially here, and it’s brought Web apps and a variety of updates. Microsoft makes a concerted effort to compete on Google’s turf: the cloud. Office Web Apps, as they’re called, provide cloud-based productivity that will allow multiple users to work on the same project over the Internet from both computers and mobile devices, thereby saving time and money.
Verizon has been a busy little pack of beavers hasn’t it? Do beavers travel in a pack? Gaggle of beavers? Flock of beavers? Nevermind, you get the idea.
Not only is Verizon reportedly getting prepared for its own version of the iPhone, it’s also hard at work partnering on a much more intriguing product: a Google tablet. After having some serious success with the Motorola Droid, the Big G and Big Red are back in the lab, according to the Wall Street Journal. Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam is quoted as stating: “”We’re working on tablets together, for example. We’re looking at all the things Google has in its archives that we could put on a tablet to make it a great experience.”
Steve Jobs’ new role as official email mouthpiece at Apple has revealed some interesting information about the future of the iPad: it will include printing capabilities. Responding to an email validly questioning why the iPad doesn’t offer printing, Steve Jobs (or an Apple intern purporting to be Steve Jobs on email) responded with a very simple but telling “It will come.” A little cryptic and Field of Dreams-ish, but good news for iPad owners that want more productivity from their tablet.
According to a report originating on vozExpress, Toshiba is deep in the R&D process of a sleek new 13-inch notebook that will tickle the scales at a weight of under one kilo, making it the lightest notebook of its size. It’s also reported to be the world’s thinnest and features a honeycomb chassis. Perhaps even more impressively, the laptop is expected to feature a secondary battery in the form of a Super Charged Ion Battery that charges up to 90 percent in just 10 minutes. Yes, 10 minutes (reportedly).
