Yet another thing?
There was something about the MWSF keynote that left a lot to be desired. While the revised iMac and the MacBook Pro (awful name, by the way) are awesome, they feel incomplete. Those were my thoughts. And even though it's this comes from an anonymous source, it's being reported by a reputable journalist... and it stays in line with what my thoughts were on Tuesday.
I don't think this has anything to do with a lack of chip supply. Intel is not IBM or Freescale and has Duo Core chips flying out all over the place.
I imagine there'll be another "One more thing..." event like there was in October.
According to Jobs last year, the low-end Macs were to be the first to receive the update. The iMacs did, but the Mac mini was absent as was the iBook. Instead of the iBook, however, it appears as though the PowerBook has been rechristened the MacBook Pro... but oddly enough is only available in a 15.3" widescreen model... sans FireWire800 and a Dual Layer DVD burner.
Suspicious.
Don't get me wrong; both are amazing products. It just feels rather incomplete and incorrect. According to Jobs last year, we shouldn't have seen any updates to the professional line until end of 2006 or early 2007.
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

“w00t”, as it were
I finally got my DVD burner back from Pioneer on Wednesday. A simple snafu, an incorrect address on their part is the reason it took so long. Now I can get back to finishing the Pseudo Cyborg album.
I am at one with the universe.
That is all.
