It's a back to the school offer in AU. It is just past summer there, i think.
Got a tip for us?

Names
I don't know what's so difficult about Apple's logic in naming their new books. Jobs mentioned be wanted to begin using "Mac" in their names.
They want to stop using iNames because every idiot can put out a product with the same naming scheme to try and trick people into thinking Apple made it. ie iDog, iHome. But if anyone tried to use their trademark name, Mac, they can put a stop to it.
The obvious reason why they didn't change iMac to simply Mac is because people use the term Mac to talk about any sort of Apple computer they have. "I like going to the beach to take pictures of girlies with my new Mac." "Oh, I wish I could do that with my Mac but it's a desktop." And, of course, Mac is already in iMac.

I find it hard to believe Apple would raise the price on the Intel Mac Mini by $100 and then lower the Intel iBook/MacBook price by $100. Although I would love to see a price drop, realistically I think we will either see a price increase of $100 or the price stay the same ($999/1299) for the iBook/MacBook.InTheBand said:C'mon Apple, give us the Duo for the same $200 price difference as the Mac Mini Solo/Duo, at $999 & $1199. Maybe offer a $100 BTO option on both, or at least the Duo model, for those that don't want IIG.

The last of the Unis went back about a week ago after the summer holidays. I think Apple's giving them a few weeks leeway to take up the offer. They did the same thing last year, and the year before, and before that...
Why a release button?
Could be that the release button actually rolls the magnet 180deg. This roll would put 2 common poles in plane and repel each other. If the magnets are strong enough to hold shut, then this force could be enough to "spring" the lid magnet out of the field of the bottom magnet. Just a thought.
