Giz Bingo Winner Is Now One Pizza Happier
Free pizza. Yummy. Along with free beer, life really doesn't get any better than free pizza. Which is precisely what Maximillian Hill, the winner of Gizmodo's MacBook Event Bingo, got last week: A large pizza with italian sausage and extra cheese. Maximillian sent us the bingo at exactly October 14, 10:30 AM east coast time: More »

MacBook Post-Mortem Rumor Review: Hindsight is 20/20
If today's Apple Event, like last time, left a little taste of letdown in the mouths of the fervent, the reason why is now clear: we knew every detail of every announcement before Jobs could even prime the cylinders of the Apple Event Reality Distortion Field generator, yet alone fire it up. Some surfaced in the last 24 hours, and some we reported on months ago. Being the source of skeptical yet enthusiastic Mac rumoring that we are, we obviously help contribute to this effect. So let's have a look at the last few months buildup to today—and how much it all makes sense now. More »

Watch Entire MacBook Event Now
Apple's just posted the video of the entire MacBook event, so you can watch it from start to finish. It's worth watching just to hear Jonathan Ive render "aluminum" in his delicious accent over and over and over. Oh, and I hear Steve Jobs makes a cameo or two. [Apple]

A Brief History of Unibody Construction
In light of the news about the updated construction process for the new MacBooks, it is high time you got a brief edumication on the history of unibody construction. It may seem revolutionary, but the method Apple is using derives from the early 20th century monocoque ("single shell") technique of using an object's external skin to support structural loads. It has its roots in the airline industry where a price drop in aluminum in the 1920's made it affordable to meet the demand for stiff, strong, smooth skins that could handle the stress of high altitudes and increasingly powerful aircraft. By the end of WWII, almost all high-performance aircraft were built using monocoque or semi-monocoque technique. More » -

Cranky Windows Guy: Apple Laptops
As you may be aware, I'm a Windows guy. I'm not diehard about it, however. When the time comes for me to get a new laptop in the next year or so, I'll be open to switching, making me Apple's target market. But there's one big reason that is holding me back from making that switch: price. Apple's laptops are expensive as hell, and the prices aren't justified.

MacBook Pro 2008
MacBook Pro 2008 Is Apple's Most Boomtastic Notebook Ever
The new MacBook Pro 2008 is, at last, the worthy successor to the mythical PowerBook Titanium. From its new design—with an iMac-style glass screen, smooth Air-style surfaces, and no-button trackpad—to its guts—with new processors and both an Nvidia GeForce 9400M and 9600M GT—it's a pretty impressive machine. Full specs and details after the jump.

Last Minute MacBook Rumors: Entire Glass Trackpad Is a Button, Pro Has TWO Graphics Cards, and More
John Gruber, who foretold the Oct. 14 event many moons ago, has just dropped what appears to be the motherload of what'll be announced. Besides confirming the spy shot, he confirms what I thought when I saw there wasn't a separate mouse button—the entire trackpad (which is glass, as was rumored) is a button, kind of like the BlackBerry Storm's screen. You just push it down, it clicks. More »

Microsoft Responds to New MacBooks, Just Says "Apple Tax" Eight Times
In an email of talking points circulated by Microsoft spokespeople, the company addresses the various rumors about today's new MacBooks, preemptively claiming that they will be overpriced, underspec'd and locked down. They offer charts comparing the feature lists of similarly priced Windows and Mac notebooks and make numerous accusations of an "Apple Tax." The email is interesting: nothing they say is incorrect, but none of it is new. Most importantly, all of it misses the point completely. More »

Spyshot Shows What Looks to Be The New MacBook Pro
As is always the case, this undercover iPhone pic of what appears to be the new MacBook Pro is too blurry to rule for sure one way or the other. But as far as spyshots go, this one's looking pretty solid. And just like with the presumed-fake-and-then-verified-true iPod nano leaked pics from last time (coincidentally also sent in by our friend JR here), it matches what's been popping up in even more dubious pics over the last few weeks—a more rounded, piano-black bezel, MacBook Air-like keyboard and a large (although not glass) trackpad (and as many of you commenters have also asked, where is the trackpad button?). We'll know for sure tomorrow at 10AM PST—stay tuned until then. [Thanks, JR!]

MacBook and MacBook Pro Repair Document Leaked, Confirms "Late 2008" Update
In case you needed more, here's a proof that seems to completely confirm that—as expected—both the MacBook and MacBook Pro will be updated this Tuesday at the Apple MacBook 2008 event in Cupertino, where heads may be rolling after a PDF document referring to the "MacBook/MacBook Pro (Late 2008)" line was accidentally posted today in their support site. The document—now gone from Apple servers—details the full procedure for replacing the display in the new notebooks. [MacRumors]

Mysterious MacBook Event Teaser Image is 13.3-inch Model, Says Deduction
Out of respect for the great performer Steve Jobs, I prefer to save all surprises for the keynote. But those smarty pantses over at bbGadgets may have unlocked the secret behind Apple's Oct 14th MacBook event teaser. Assuming that the Apple logo is a 1.5" standard, they measured the laptop to have a 13.3" diagonal length. That's the same size as the current generation MacBook, which would seem to support all of those metal MacBook rumors. [bbGadgets]
