The first Flash 10.1 desktop player beta has arrived, and AnandTech has put the new GPU-accelerated video playback to the test. And while the OS X version currently lacks graphics acceleration, Flash 10.1 still serves up improvements on the Mac. More » -

The Living Light Sculpture
The Living Light Sculpture looks like a giant metal flower, or a man made approximation of a jungle canopy with artificial sunlight coming down through its branches. It's actually a digital map sculpture reporting air quality in Seoul, Korea. More » -

New Brian Eno-Based iPhone App 'Like Music For Airports Made Endless'
Bloom, Brian Eno's first iPhone App, is still one of the best and most inventive apps in the store, so I'm pretty excited about Air, the followup. More » -

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 » -

MSI X340 Review: The Unemployed Man's MacBook Air
It's impossible not to be at least a little impressed with the MacBook Air, but who can spend almost $2,000 on that laptop? The solution? The MSI X340, a $900 MacBook Air. And it's a great idea...in theory... More » -

Mophie Juicepack Air Is Thinnest iPhone Battery Extender Yet
We've seen several iPhone battery cases/extenders—and we've liked what we've seen. But offerings like the Fastmac iV have been a bit on the pudgy side. More » -

Is a 15-inch MacBook Air In the Works?
A Taiwanese blog named Apple.pro has an inconsistent track record, posting a fake shot of a MacBook before revealing the first images of unibody construction. Now they claim a 15-inch Air is on the way. More » -

MacBook Air 2nd Gen Review
Externally, the new MacBook Air hasn't changed at all since launch. Internally, however, it's significantly more powerful. This latest update shows the difference between being thin by starvation and being thin through exercise. -

Macbook Air Prototype Escapes Cupertino, Gets Sold on Ebay
A Macforums member who bought an "as-is" Macbook Air from Ebay has ended up with some pretty strange fruit: It's actually an early Air prototype, bearing marks indicating it was built in May 2007, six months before the Air was introduced. It's got a few giveaways: the microphone positioning near the webcam is off, there's no keyboard lighting, no "MacBook Air" legend, it runs an interim build of OS X 10.5 and the bottom is black-colored aluminum, versus the usual shiny silver. Lord knows how this baby escaped Cupertino's clutches, but escape it did. Does this make it valuable like a prototype stamp to a philatelist? Only another Ebay sale will tell. [Macrumors] -

MacBook Air Might Go Carbon Fiber to Shed Weight
The MacBook Air weighs a little over three pounds. Airy, but there's lighter. Not surprisingly, Apple wants to weigh that little—under three pounds. The easiest way to cut the fat is to use a material less heavy than aluminum that won't compromise the body's integrity. Enter carbon fiber, which AppleInsider says might replace the Air's lower aluminum case. More » -

MacBook Air With Nvidia-Powered H.264 Video Playback Runs Less Toasty
Like the MacBook and MacBook Pro, the new Nvidia-powered MacBook Air also uses hardware-acceleration for H.264 video playback. Benefit: Performance is better (duh), but also important for people who toasted their kibbles 'n' bits playing video on the old Air, the new one runs dramatically cooler. More » -

Screen Shootout: MacBook (New) vs. MacBook (Old) vs. MacBook Air
Even though the latest MacBook uses the same size display as the last-gen MacBook Air, the displays are not quite the same. The Air, being a more premium product, uses a display that's more similar to the MacBook Pro than the MacBook. You'll remember in our review that despite being both having glass components and visually similar designs, the MacBook's 13-inch screen was of a lower quality than the 15-inch MacBook Pro screen. You can see that blacks are much blacker and the color representation is much better on the Air, as they are on the Pro More » -

Cool Concept: Handheld Electric Pneumatic Gun
Here's a great idea that DeWalt should get their asses on: A handheld 18-volt air gun that can be used to dust, airbrush, or fill up basketballs or bike tires. I'd get one if it meant less time on the bike pump, and it could start a new genre of krylon-free, duel-wielding graf artists. Found this cool gem of a fantasy gadget over at the newly designed and even sexier Core77 website. [Core77]
