Missing Macbook Air Thrown Out With Stacks of Newspapers?

When I reviewed the Airbook, I noticed that I'd catch myself almost tossing the thing around like a magazine, which it resembled in size. Now Stephen Levy of Newsweek, one of the big four reviewers, has lost his. And he's theorizing that he might have thrown it out with a stack of old newspapers he piled on top. I can see this happening to not a few Air owners. [Newsweek]

UPDATE: Pogue scoops the other A-Team members by reviewing the Macbook Air on the Macworld show floor. His response in the comments. [First MacBook Air Reviews]

"iPhone Frenzy"

Now that there is video to review, it's obvious the guy was going for the microphone (listen carefully to the audio).] Newsweek's Steven Levy, one of the fantastic four of tech journalism, was nearly deprived of his exclusive review iPhone earlier this morning (around 9:25 AM, EDT) live on Fox News in front of the waiting hordes at NYC's midtown Apple Store.

Newsweek's Steven Levy Loves the iPhone

Heavy weather and an unexpected overnight stay in Pittsburgh gave Newsweek tech whiz Steven Levy ample time to play around with the iPhone. How'd he spend his time? Doing what anyone would do, really: e-mail, get help negotiating downtown, check the weather, keep tabs on some sports, listen to music, and, of course, check out YouTube. And all on a single battery charge. He did find some faults, but not much that the other guys hadn't also caught.
