Is the New Macbook Air Actually Slower Than the Last One?
Sluggishness was a consistent gripe with two prior versions of the MacBook Air, especially compared to the rest of the MacBook line. The latest version has speedier processor options, but according to recent benchmarks, might have gotten slower. Huh? More » -

Snow Leopard (WWDC 2009 Version) Leaks Online
At WWDC, Apple handed devs a beautiful two-disc set of Snow Leopard build 10a380 (one disc Xcode, one disc Server). We were unable to acquire a copy of our own, but now that the latest build of Snow Leopard has leaked online, we could probably download it through less-than-legal means. (Though if any devs in the Bay Area have an extra copy, let us know. We could use one.) [CrunchGear] -

Steve Jobs Looked Thinner Than Usual at WWDC—So What?
One of the first things we noticed when Steve Jobs came out on stage was that he was noticeably thinner than he was in previous events. We were vaguely concerned since he's had a recent history of what could be considered pretty severe health problems, but it looks like it's just a "common bug" says Apple PR. At age 53, he honestly looks fitter than we are now, probably because he doesn't spend 23 hours a day with his ass attached to some sort of surface. Maybe it was that vomit+diarrhea virus that was going around Moscone a month ago. Either way, lots of people make a big deal out of Steve's appearance because he's perceived as so important to the company. So that's what the fuss is about by the press. [WSJ] -

Apple Says White Is Cool Again... But Is It?
In an otherwise surprise-free keynote today, one without booms or "one more thing"s, one bit of news stood out: White made a quiet return to the iPod family in the premium 16GB iPhone 3G. Sure, it never fully left Apple—remaining the default color for earbuds, plugs, power bricks, AirPort products and the cheapest MacBooks—but we were finally getting used to a world without white iPods. Does this mean after nine short months put out to the pastures, white is already retro-cool again? More » -

Video: iPhone GPS, Live Tracking, Traffic, and Geotagging
The 3G iPhone's second most persistently rumored and desired feature (or not), GPS is built in for location service hotness, which Steve says is "gonna explode." Location data comes from a combo of cell towers, Wi-Fi and GPS. Google Maps is still the default interface. Wilson says that's it's probable Telenav will do an SDK app with more advanced GPS sorcery though. Updated with video, which shows live tracking, local search, live traffic info and turn-by-turn navigation. More » -

iPhone 2.0 Firmware Leaked, 3G and GPS Confirmed (Again)
Engadget say they have analyzed the leaked iPhone 2.0 firmware, and report 3G and GPS will be present. The HSDPA will be tri-band, meaning it will work pretty much anywhere. They also say components will include Sony antennas, 3G processors, transceivers and amplifiers, Arm 11 CPU and an UMTS on/off switch for power saving. Seems like there's less and less to doubt about iPhone 2.0. [Engadget] -

How I Sold My iPhone in 24 Hours For More Than I Paid
With the possible announcement of the 3G iPhone only a week away, many current iPhone owners are itching to upgrade, which takes money. Other people, finally bitten by the iPhone bug, are eager to buy one, only they are harder to find in stores. This creates a nice, natural supply-and-demand formula that we managed to exploit not once but twice on eBay. Not only did I sell my iPhone in 24 hours, but I sold it for more than I paid.

Apple Receives 188 Mysterious Cargo Containers: 3G iPhones, New MacBooks or the Finest Colombian Snow?
I think that the obsessive drive to be omnisciently aware of everything Apple is plotting has officially gone from a little crazy to completely silly. People are tracking theirbowel movementscargo shipments, and apparently the latest batch has 188 containers from Asian supplier Hon Hai and Quanta Computers, mysteriously marked "electric computers," a label that they've never used before. Ack! Combined with the fact that "desktop computer" labeled shipments haven't dropped, ImportGenius, the dudes who monitor this stuff, are therefore convinced it's the 3G iPhone. More »
