World’s Thinnest Notebook: Apple’s MacBook Air – Features and Flaws
Jan 16th
If you thought HP or Dell was making thin notebooks then think again. Apple has been secretly developing the ultra-thin MacBook Air. This laptop re-defines thin and lightweight notebooks tipping the scale at 3 pounds and less than an inch thick. This 13 inch notebook packs a punch covering most features that users expect. And it delivers all that power in a sexy new form.

- 45w MagSafe
- 1 USB 2.0 port
- Micro-DVI
- 802.11n and Bluetooth 2.1/EDR
- 5 hour battery life
- 2GB memory as standard
Flaws
Gizmodo pointed out that there are a few flaws in the MacBook Air that are apparent. Like the iPod the MacBook Air won’t be easy to open. This means it will be difficult to upgrade or even replace RAM, hard disk or battery. Either remain happy with the stock MacBook Air or ship it back to Apple to be upgraded. The 5 hour battery life might sound great now but in a few months if any part of the notebook dies it will be a bitch to replace.

Apple Thinks You Wait Too Long At Starbucks
Dec 27th
How long do you wait for your favorite beverage at Starbucks? I never seemed to notice the wait till Apple came along and filed its brand new patent this month. Apple now wants to eliminate the need to wait in long lines for your iced mocha or green tea. According to the new patent at US Patent and Trademark Office you will be able to place your order wirelessly with your iPhone while you pass by any participating Starbucks. Then you can wait outside and soak up the sun. When your beverage is ready to go you will receive some notification and you can enjoy caffeine goodness a few minutes sooner.
From Forbes … Apple’s application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office describes a process for placing an order and then notifying customers when an order is ready to grab at a pick-up station. One goal, the patent application notes, is to avoid an “annoying wait in a long queue if the purchaser arrives before completion of the order.”
The patent is listed as Wireless communication system and it lists all the details under patent #20070291710
