apple sued him once (and lost) for a product leak so he's not exactly an average joe.
I see that it's more likely that we will get that awful square keyboard from the Air and MB and horrible aluminum keyboards.
Very glad I got the Penryn MBP.

What games has Apple been playing? They haven't leaked multiple prototypes or rumors. They are doing what they always do: stick with their secretive plans. Apple isn't playing any games, we are.
We can be rest assured that refresh will not happen until sometime in October (14th). We're still in the 3rd Quarter as of now. Apple's stock is in the tank, it would only make sense to have a new release in the 4th Quarter to pad those numbers for the end of the year.
Actually, no: the first definition of "neglect" given by Wiktionary is: "To disregard or pay little attention to something."
As to new MB/MBPs, I've given up speculating. We'll know what they are when Apple decides to release them.
Apple can be just laughing at us guessing the release dates of the coming Mac laptops.
screen...
less plastic around the screen, please. I think we'll see more glass, more shiny and less plastic around the screen. Maybe even something to make the screen look like it's 'floating'...glass edges instead of the plastic/metal around the screen???
These rumors are killing me!
I remember when the Macbook was first announced. I watched the keynote feed here, checked out the pictures and specs and went off to buy one a few days later.
Now it's always in repairs and it's seriously annoying... Is anyone in Germany interested in a black Macbook?
I think this would be nice and sole those top case problems (cracking and discoloration). And it would go well with the new silver iPod nanos:
Mockup
Note the plastic display cover doesn't dent or cover the wireless antennas. When closed it would be just a black macbook.

Whilst you may be right, there is no way you can be certain. The main reason being that it is a completely new model.
I agree. My Powerbook G4 with Tiger is running great. Very reliable hardware and software, NEVER been in repair; made in the pre-iPhone era.
The design is great as is, no need to change it. The powerbooks and macbook pros have the best keyboards of any laptop.
I fear they will not , unfortunately .
Not , I'd buy it on looks .......depends what was inside though !
Don't you think that the Apple marketing dept has something to do with at least some of these 'leaks' ? .....the hype then lives and breaths on boards like this until fever pitch is reached , then boom , new machines! , happens every time that I can see & I think we are almost there
YOu Know wHaT WOuLd Be KiilllER?!?! If they dumped the trackpad and just the entire rest area infront of the keyboard have multitouch right beneath the aluminium
. Wouldn't that be so sweeeet that soul incorporate the whole "full multitouch" rumor part. ....I should pursue a career in apple labs! Apple if you are reading, offer an internship to me and I'll work for just tuition!Mac tablet where are you?
It doesn't correlate with AppleInsider's rumors either.
Why am I not surprised?
Why would the trackpad be smaller, I wonder. Black keyboard I think is almost certain.
Good to know.
Or maybe they won't be released for quite some time.So, Apple is still making prototypes of the MacBook Pro? Maybe they cannot choose which one to make final.
Are many people just innately disappointed on this board? Whenever Apple releases a product, loads of people complain about it and say that it's a let down (no matter what product it is or how much better it is than the current model). Now, people want something more to be disappointed about......so they are starting to complain about disappointing rumors. It's all speculation until the final product is released. It's fair to be disappointed about a final product...but why waste the emotion on a mere rumor?
I'm hoping for a radical redesign but I'm not expecting one in October.
What would people think about a polished metal look for the case?

i won't get one
A few years ago I started an 'Apple savings account' which I pay into monthly so I could buy any Apple stuff without thinking/guilt.
I have a lovely 16GB iPhone 3G, a 15" MBP, an Airport etc. etc.
That account currently stands at £1,354 but I will NOT be getting the new MBP if it has the MacBook/MacBook Air keyboard. I just can't stand them.

Radical redesign Macworld next year , yes to the polished metal finish ....as long as it was real sturdy feel to the thing ie: real metal & none of the plastic painted metallic colour keyboard nonsense .
Nobody likes grammar...
It seems like it would be correct to write:
"We neglected the image because it was clearly fake" when using your definition.
I think the original intent was more:
"We decided not to post the image because it was clearly fake."
But "neglecting to post" using your definition means "we paid little attention to posting" which is clearly not the original intent.
All of this is neither here nor there though. It's time to upgrade the Powerbook G4. This seems like as good a time as any.
