To keep it from being completely off-topic... have anyone heard something about those new MacBooks in the last few days?
Yeah - they didn't show up Tuesday, so the buzz will start to build again as we get close to next Tuesday.
Got a tip for us?

I think the serial item numbers is a good sign. Someone mentioned the same thing happened when the MacBook Pros were released in feb. 3 weeks prior serials item numbers were leaked.
From one retail store in Canada? Maybe. People are so wound up waiting for this, they'll jump on anything. Watch - expectations will be at a fever pitch again next Monday night.

Dude, Delaware = 0%.
Pa = 6% outside Philly/Pittsburgh
Oh yes I am aware Apple put 3 stores just inside the Philly/Allentown area thus must charge 6.75% tax... But no Delaware store? Everyone in Philly goes to Delaware to buy expensive things, except cars you get hit later when you want Pa plates.
Well Monday and Tuesday at Town hall are open, unscheduled. They are the only two days with nothing... Even when there closed that's listed. Soooo... It could be nothing, could be something. Monday to setup, Tuesday for the event?

yea but id rather air on the side of caution instead of set myself up for dissapointment,....yet again.
I know the feeling
And sometimes I think Apple just toys with us to make us annoyed. I believe that they have everything set but they want to see a "couple more days/weeks" of "pain and suffering of waiting" from us Mac users.
Put us out of our misery!
I wish Apple would be less secretive about their release dates
Put us out of our misery!
Then we get people complaining that they didnt wow us enough because we over hype ourselves.
It's a no win situation eh. But I think we have waited more than long enough. I am not getting my hopes up about next Tuesday but I would be over the moon if Apple decided to release

Can you really defy gravity?
I would also be that happy when Apple decides: "Ah, these people had enough pain. Let's release the new Macs now.".

My sleeping schedule could also return to normal too
anyone else think this is the only change we are going to see?
jk! : )
price drops? after the huge demand/anticipation i think apple is well aware that mere pricedrops will satisfy its customers.
EDIT: outwitted by white text.
DAMN YOU TO HELL!!!!! =P
the mini is gone haha
but i would also be happy with only price drops. the macbook is currently a pretty perfect laptop and apple has corrected a lot of the early mistakes
the mini is gone haha
damn your white/mysteriously disappearing text. The macbook is NOT fine. its gonna need at LEAST a spec bump, and a decent one at that. Yes it is pretty, but an aluminum redesign would make me (and others) probably need a new pair of slacks.
i also agree it needs a speed bump, and please apple, drop that combo drive!! but the externals of the machine are pretty good (although i would like some more USBs, but the pro will get those first)
100% with you on the combo drive! I changed my signature to what my research showed what the higher end macbook will probably have. how many USBs are on the current MB?

2 x USB 2.0, 1 x FW400.
As someone who recently (about a month ago) bought 2 Macbooks for my girlfriend and her folks (which needed to be bought at the time, couldn't wait unfortunately) I'll be feeling rather stung if Apple not only increase the specs as they would naturally do but also drop the price... £1600 is A LOT of money to drop on 2 consumer grade laptops and if the price of 2 middle of range MBs drops to some where around the £1000 - £1200 mark I'll not be happy, purely for selfish reasons (around 400 - 600 of them!). In the long run though it would be good if Apple finally stopped charging the
tax, or at least quite so much of it.
