BCake as put together an amazing display of Apple cake goodness. Including the iPhone, the Macbook Pro, the Mighty Mouse and even more geeky goodness, such as pens, Apple’s trademark white USB cables and post-it notes, this cake creation is a multi-faceted geek dream.
If it tastes half as good as it looks I’ll be halfway to diabetes by the time I take the last bite.
A newly revealed patent suggests that Apple has been pondering the concept of a unibody iPod. The unibody designs which Apple have already displayed through their use in last year’s MacBooks, MacBook Pros and the MacBook Air proves that the stark design allows for thinner devices made with a stronger architecture and sturdier material.
The patent reveals a unibody iPod Classic, appearing to be made out of one uniform piece, rather than a separate front and rear unit. This could only mean one thing. Thinner, stronger devices for all. Pretty groovy in our book.
I found this awesome laser-etched Macbook Pro Powerbook G4 on Tumblr. Can anyone identify whose it is or what that character is on the front? Very intense.

Do you hear that? Those are the crickets chirping.
Apple performed its last Macworld Keynote today sans Steve Jobs. Instead, Apple senior vice president Phil Schiller delivered it and boy was it lackluster. A lot of software upgrades for iWork, iLife, etc. iPhoto has some new features and iWork.com will be Apple’s Google Docs rival for cloud collaboration. You can also take music lessons via GarageBand with artists like Sting and Patrick Stump of Fallout Boy.
After the software came the only hardware upgrade; the 17-inch Macbook Pro. New battery, new display and thinner. Same old bullshit that all the other Apple laptops got a few months ago.
It ended with an iTunes information regarding more DRM-free tracks and variable pricing on music. Tony Bennett played. Lame.
Apple fans are clearly disappointed.
You’ve already heard all the news that’s sprouted from the latest Apple event. Vince briefly mentioned the new price for the old Macbooks – $999, making it Apple’s first notebook under $1,000. However, is this price cheap enough to pull consumers in?
Many Windows notebooks are priced between $500 and $1,000 dollars, which leaves room for any upgrade deals you want to make. On the other hand, the old Macbooks price dropping to $999 will leave little to be desired considering the new Macbooks are only $300 more. With that, there isn’t much reason to not fork over an extra $300 for the better rig, unless of course you’re really on a budget.
What lies just beyond the Dark Portal? And to think, for the last few years I thought it was Outland which dwells within the stars. All of this time, it has been nothing but an Apple logo.
Ok, but in all seriousness, this laser-etching job on a MacBook Pro is a gorgeous depiction of the Dark Portal from World of Warcraft. Using some expert shading skills and a love for MMO’s, the MBP owner, with the help of Austin Laser Art created this pretty piece of gaming art. Here’s hoping that Illidan doesn’t see this as a shot at his good name. — Andrew Dobrow
What would it look like if you were running 150 separate applications at once on a MacBook Pro, and is it even possible? Probably something like this.
The owner of this 2.2 GHz MacBook Pro with 4 GB of RAM (the same notebook I have) claims that he can run all of his 150 applications at once, with the computer still running smoothly. It seems a little far-fetched for me, but perhaps that’s the reason for MacBook mania. — Andrew Dobrow
