God's will be done on who will when but the most important thing I feel is It's going to be a great fight with Manny Pacquiao my compatriot and Ricky Hatton. The most humble talented fighter will be more blessed on that fight. I can't wait Griffin for May:) Gbu. Happy Easter.

Hi. Snow Leopard will support it, I'm sure. Windows 7 will be launched as well and will support SLI for different cards a few months later. Apple Pro notebooks sales will go off the roof (especially when it launches the 17" which probably has two next generation GPUs and a quad core).

Hi. The new ones are even better than a tablet coz' of the multi-touch pad:)

I understand that it can't use both gpus at the same time? Would it be possible though for it's two gpus to become a flawless SLI setup (even though it's two different gpus) or Apple is actually probably gonna' release a code that'll work with any app (no code rewrite) when Snow Leopard comes since two gpus is similar to a multi-core which Apple is trying to take advantage of?

Hi. A Mac Netbook doesn't make sense, coz' that would still be expensive and Apple promised the next product is gonna' be revolutionary like the iPhone; another clamshell with a keyboard and multi-touch pad isn't that revolutionary. It's really got to be a 7" multi-touch tablet with accelerometers and a new addition to the App Store.

Hi. Apple will have more control if it uses Nvidia. I think Apple will go for Nvidia because it's a more stable company and more focused on making GPUs; it's also not tied to a CPU company (Apple will for sure be making it's own CPUs later for total control). It usually catches faster to umaking better drivers. It's really about control to be as integrated to all things Apple as possible.

My guess: Apple just says notebook but because a notebook should literally be like a notebook which you use with one hand to hold and write. It did say months ago that there are really innovative things to come, it won't be innovative if it's another clamshell design which Apple is trying to get rid off and instead is shifting the way we interact with gadgets through the flexibility of a multitouch (by multitouch it means 5 or more detection) screen which the iPhone started.

Follow up guess: MacBook Touch haptic to follow that will make it accessible for the disabled and for the rest to be able to do things better without looking, if you're using it as a controller for your Mac and other equipments for example. The Pro version will of course be a little bigger (10" at most) and more powerful. The screen size in years to come will not change- these are essentially meant to be light and portable, 17" laptops proved to be too big.

My guess: the picture on the Oct. 14 '08 invitation, it's not a laptop but the back of a multitouch tablet. Brick means 3 things: the tablet weighs as much as a brick, the manufacturing process only took one wide brick of aluminum and a tablet is essentially a wide brick. It'll be called Mac Touch and will replace the Mac Mini, the Apple TV and the MacBook and MacBook Pro.

It will have a: 7"-10" LCD, next gen CPU, non-desktop hardisk (tiny) and next gen GPU, will introduce a new typing method on the virtual keyboard, will have all the iPhone feature except the cellphone feature (two uniquely designed speakers, iPhone batteries grouped together), will make way for desktop apps to be downloaded to App Store (compatible with both desktop apps and iPhone apps), will also be a controller for other equipments with partnership (including house security, Macs and vehicles), will have biometrics for security (not a palm scan but a face recognition), optional iPhone piggyback adapter for cellphone function and mobile internet (3rd party for other phones to follow).

This MacTouch is essentially a bigger iPhone; having some of its parts from the LCD, to the camera, to the battery without the cell features. It will also be able to detech more than 5 multitouches. It is targetted for the house, as Microsoft surface competitor, as an Eee PC competitor and is meant for one hand computing (the new typing method will make it as fast as typing with two hands) that will replace the clamshell design for laptops, netbooks and the like but typing with two hands is optional. It is also meant to replace the mouse, stylus and keyboard combo. The MacTouch Pro (will replace the MacBook Pro) will have the MacTouch features but with pressure sensitivity. The multitouch design will also make way for different GUI (current GUIs are designed for the mouse/keyboard/stylus combo and is limited to one at a time system) which, for gradual transition, will start to evolve after Snow Leopard then come OS 10.8 (two years after Snow Leopard) to OS 11, it'll be completely different, no more Dock or Menus/limited menus (like what you've seen in Jeff Hahn's system). For the most part icons (which is actually a command in picture without the menu hierarchies) and gestures will be the new menu and commands.

Hi. It seems lawsuits and patents are out of control in the USA (I hope McCain and Palin become elected also solves this chaos of lawsuits and generic patents). A lot could be put to good use with the time, money and effort that goes into this kind of court cases like working together and just share patent, instead of wasting it on greed. Whoever creates a better commercial successful product like the Wiimote wins, second placers shouldn't complain coz' it was an equal playing field in some ways when it shared patents.

Nintendo willl just win this buy just pointing Hillcrest and the courts to their Power Glove which was available decades ago. The Power Glove was essential an inaccurate WiiMote/Nunchukmote.

Nice design but I'm already using a full size keyboard that uses laptop keys (called switch key technology) for 2 years now. It's very flat and its called the BTC 6300 ultra thin multimedia keyboard:
