You do know that's how people in the UK (I'm not sure of other parts of Europe) pronounce Aluminium, don't you?
Germany too
With English pronunciation something like AAH-LOO-MEE-NEE-OOM would be close
The oo's as in tool. And the ee's as in wee ;D

When the brothers gonna make up? I keep hoping.![]()
Really?! That's kinda silly of you! Both England (UK) and the USA don't speak English like it used to be spoken back before the colonies declared independence. The language has degraded/advanced/evolved (whichever way you want to look at it) since that time from all speakers of English. You are only protecting your own incorrect way of doing things.
Edit:
Also you are just a susceptible to end up speaking " txtspk. lol." as much as we are.
I find it funny. Wikipedia says that a British chemist is actually the one who came up with the spelling "aluminum".
Oh, and FYI The USA isn't "colonies" any more.
So the next MacBook will look like a giant speaker grill?
some Mac news ...
where are the iMac, Mac Mini and 13" MBP retina display?
Is carbon fiber a new buzz word like polycarbonate?
Carbon fiber is really a miracle metal. I absolutely love carbon fiber tripods for my photography and my mountain bike. So strong and so light - can't beat it.
But the big question is, will carbon fiber scratch?
It does not Dent, it breaks. Carbon Fiber is one of the strongest man made materials around. Just google an Enzo Ferrari, and crash, and see what come up. Most pictures are after a high rate of speed collision.
The down sides to carbon fiber:
1. Production Time. Most of it is hand made.
2. Stress Factor. Like I already stated, it doesn't bend, it breaks, cracks, or gets crushed; thus it can't be easily repaired... just replaced.
3. Cost, plan and simple.
There seems to be a lot of misconceptions about Carbon Fiber.
A few people have mentioned the X1 Carbon, but in 8 pages, I can't believe no one has mentioned Sony!
They have been using carbon fibre and magnesium alloy in their laptops for years.
This is a carbon fiber laptop:

The amazing thing is the weight - half a pound lighter than the 13" MacBook Air. 2.5lb. 1080p display, quad core i7, (up to) 2x 256GB SSD (RAID 0).
If Apple use it, I am sure the fit and finish won't be lacking in sophistication.
FINALLY!
iPhone 6 rumors!![]()
Your welcome for that whole "Save your rear end in World War II thing"
Does this mean we no longer get hear Johnny Ive say, "AL-YEW-MIN-EE-YUM" in the promo videos?
Its got a nice ring to it.
Rolls right off the tounge.
"Carbon fiber.. So light, you can break it in a snap."
Kind of reminds me if the old white MBA
Don't kid yourself. Hitler saved us both by sending his troops into Russia!
