Maube they should fix their current line first!
The first keystroke sometimes ignored when typing has not been fixed with the recent update for MacBooks and MacBook Pros, and Apple has now locked the huge thread about the problem on their forums. Thousands of users live with the problem. Apple will not acknowledge, nor fix this bug which has been around since the first Intel based MacBook Pros arrived.
I therefore encourage you to sign this partition:

KT Tunstall must be kicking herself now. All she got when she performed in September was an iPod Touch.
that and preferential in-store placements for her "itunes album cards" in every starbucks nationwide. seems she won that round!
i thought that first keystroke thing was a recently-acquired flaw in my technique! thanks for mentioning it, because i was getting really annoyed using this computer, thinking it was perhaps a bad key. now i can focus my annoyance on the OS where it belongs!!!
Apple has to do something
It's after the holidays and everyone has new macs and ipods so business will be slow for Apple. The best thing they can do is to release a new product that will spark attention and get people buying again. The iphone was one of Apple's most popular gadgets because of the multi-touch and the ability for anyone to pick it up, much like a mac. Taking all this into account it makes sense for apple to come out with a new product that has to be innovative and get people excited.
PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER!!!!!

yes of course they are. It is the same with the clothing brands out with the old and in with the new. That is why when people asking if they should buy a mac in November and December the answer should be no and always no. Apple and other companies always update around this time. People it is after the holidays!!! New things come along always not once in a while always apple and other companies release new things ALWAYS!!! (Just had to get it out of my system had a rough case today!)
Nor do I. I have never experienced that.
not a constant thing, but a onceinawhile ghost. all the more annoying that way. be glad you missed out!

pwned
I can't believe that Apple (as secretive as they are) would trust rappers (notorious braggarts) with a secret as important as this one. I call BS to this rumor.
I'm finally a 6502--woot!
To date, it must have taken me longer to longer to get here than anyone else (I've been a member since April 2002).

Mayhap this is Apple's way of gradually rolling out the hype. Wheels within wheels, people....
I call BS only because Apple gave rappers, who usually want to get paid in cash and not toys, new computers that they could have afforded themselves. I am more than sure the laptops Apple gave them didn't even come close to covering the expenses they racked up getting them there to perform.
Or these new ultraportables are going to be pretty expensive.
I heard about this yesterday. They quoted some "rapper" that I have never heard of.
I am fairly sure we will see new notebooks, but I don't quote know about this claims. Mainly seeing about Apples secrecy internally let alone externally.

Well I can remember a keynote where the aluminum powerbooks with keyboard backlighting were released where they showed a video of some music artist/producer/engineer was saying how he loves it. Then someone switched off the light and he was stunned by the keyboard backlight.
So it's possible that someone in the music business is already test driving one of the new laptops. Maybe he's the one who caused that "Macbook Air" entry in the Adium log.
