Fruit themed lap warmer will be out soon

CAPPUCCINO COMPANY Apple will begin shipping its latest Macbook Air later this month, according to a Taiwan Economic Daily news report.

Although light on details, the newspaper cited industry sources that said an apparent first allotment of 380,000 updated Macbook Air units will be shipped before the end of June.

Reuters, which apparently gets the Taiwan Economic Daily dropped through its letterbox every morning, said that, including existing Macbook Airs, some 460,000 units are expected to be shipped in June.

If that wasn't enough to keep the Apple rumour balloon in hot air, then the Taiwan Economic Daily also said that the Ipad 3 is likely to be released later this year, in quarter four, and will have much improved image resolution - about six times higher than that of the Ipad 2. µ

Pay no attention to the man behind the screen

Don't bother looking at what Apple is doing with its lawsuits against people they accuse of "stealing their ideas".

Don't bother looking at the open theft of developers' ideas that Apple is stealing and incorporating into their own products.

Don't bother looking at how Apple forces customers, media companies, and developers to "play by their rules" within the ever-expanding, very expensive real estate of the Apple Walled iGarden, where you are told what to think and what to pay to do so.

Yes, just keep blindly pumping your money into Apple. Don't pay attention to what is happening behind the screen of your new, shiny Igadget.

Steve Jobs has apparently chosen to spend his last few years of his life bullying, suing, and dominating other companies and Apple employees, and hawking shiny Igadgets to those who cannot afford them such as the kid who sold his kidney for one. He has made this choice instead of doing something unselfish and meaningful with the remaining years his life, and this shows me that this is a company run by a man that has no ones' best interest at heart.

Supposedly it'll be something like 2400x1600 or about 300dpi. Apple is probably trying to beat Amazon's eInk by using print-resolution pixel densities so they can compete in the e-book market. I hope this competition means there'll be a technology war between the two behemoths.

6x the resolution?

The Ipad 3 is going to be 2304x1728 on a 10" screen? Where did that panel come from? This seems untrue since there hasn't been a transition to anything like 1600x1200 or even 1280x960. Translation error?
