    Apple's New AirPort Extreme No Longer Shaped Like a Boob

    While everyone's eyes were transfixed on the new iPhone (and we can't blame them), Apple's new AirPort Extreme quietly slipped through the cracks making it straight into the store without being noticed. So what's new? For starters, it's an 802.11n base station, meaning it's 5x faster as the previous Base Station and delivers greater range. It's got a WAN port, three Ethernet ports, and a USB port (that allows you to hook up some hard drives). Unfortunately, Apple gave up the plump white boob look for a flat Mac Mini-like design. Why, Apple, why? You can pre-order your flat-chested AirPort now for $179 (it'll ship in February). Push-up bra not included. – Louis Ramirez
