Not sure what's the point of the article (besides getting clicks). So you assume Apple will announce new products, just like they have done the last 3 years at the time they announce new products. That's truly cutting edge journalism.

I think the rumour is that Apple is going to produce a sub-laptop. No-one suggested it would use Atom, or be price competitive with the Eee style netbooks, just that it would be small.

..at the prospect of replacing my old powerbook with something touchy-feely.

Then I remembered the reason that I stopped using it was that I was unwilling to shed out 80 quid for a point release update of the OS to get some drive bug fixes. Sadly, my fanboi conditioning didn't take.

..completely. A new iPod might be nice, though (even if I will need to fapping well jailbreak it to use it with my linux boxes). Gah, screw Apple- lovely hardware, execrable management :)

I'm sick of you calling him the "Thin white Duke". Don't you people realise that "Slight White Knight" slips off the tongue much more easily? As an aside, please ask Steve-my-company-is-based-on-a-cult-of-personality-Jobs to update those lovely Apple Cinema Displays. It's a laughing-stock that they haven't been seriously updated in nearly 4 years.
