MacBook Air Gone with Old Newspapers
Newsweek's
Steven Levy says:
"When something is thin enough to fit into an envelope, light enough
to sit on your lap for a couple of hours without discomfort and so
compact that it doesn't even bulge in an airline seat-back pocket,
wouldn't it make sense that one could lose track of such a thing? Even
if it is a computer?
"Yes, it would make sense. Believe me. Please. Because I can't find
my MacBook Air....
"In lieu of the presence of a poltergeist with techno-lust, I have
developed a theory that I first viewed as remote, but now believe
explains the fate of my Air....
"As humiliating as it sounds . . . the MacBook Air is so
thin that it got tossed out with the newspapers."

MacBook Air Baffles Airport Security
TUAW's Dave Caolo reports:
"Programmer Michael Nygard is used to travel. He's got the process
down, from airport to hotel. Unfortunately, the TSA isn't as
prepared.
"While passing through airport security recently, he was pulled
aside and made to sit in the holding area. He watched as a gaggle of
TSA workers examined his things, especially his laptop ...
"'There's no drive,' one says. 'And no ports on the back. It has a
couple of lines where the drive should be,' she continues....'
"As you've probably guessed, Michael's MacBook Air had them all
baffled...."

solid-state drives for laptop and notebook PCs that will feature a
storage capacity up to 160 GB.
"An Intel spokesman said that the chipmaker will introduce 1.5-inch

Microsoft Losing Ground with Portable Computer
Users?
InformationWeek's Dave Methvin says:
"Hey, what is going on here? In Thursday's list of Amazon's
best-selling portable computers, only seven out of the top 25 run
Windows! As you might expect, Apple takes a lot of the spots, but it's
not just MacBooks. The Linux-based Asus Eee PCs and Nokia tablets are
grabbing high positions in the list. That's a lot of computers that
aren't paying tribute to Microsoft.
"Let's come back to earth for a moment, though. Direct vendors like
Dell, and sales through corporate channels, aren't represented in
Amazon's ranking. The recent market share data shows that although
Apple's share of the market is growing faster than any other
manufacturer, Microsoft OEMs rule the roost. Still, it's a thing that
makes you go, 'Hmmm.' There are some disturbing signs here."

MacBook Air: Lust and Lingering Doubts

"It turns out we've had the exact same reaction to Apple's waif-like
laptop. Every time we see or touch the MacBook Air we decide it's the

Apple Releases Fix for Overheating MacBook Air
InformationWeek's Antone Gonsalves reports:
"Apple has released a fix for the MacBook Air,
which reportedly overheats due to problems with the internal fan.
"Update 1.0 of the notebook's system management control 'fine-tunes
the speed and operation' of the fan, Apple said in releasing the
software Monday. The under-performing fan apparently caused the MacBook
Air, which was released in January, to overheat and then lockup,
leaving the machine unresponsive for 10 to 15 seconds or more."

An Ideal Hybrid Bag for the MacBook Air
The Apple Core's Jason D.
O'Grady says:
"MacBook Air fans: what kind of bag are you using these days? Some
big, honkin' full-size bag with lots of padding? Backpack? Messenger
bag? Just a sleeve?
"Previously I reported that my favorite sleeve was the Waterfield
13-2 SleeveCase, and it still is my preferred choice for protecting the
MBA while inside another bag. Waterfield has stepped up their game with
a new case for minimalists that like to carry just a sleeve or thin
case but need a little more protection.
"Their new HardCase for the MBA (US$229) is my new everyday bag for
the MBA. It's the perfect combination of sleeve case and full shoulder
bag that fits the MBA snugly while providing almost an inch of padding
on all sides."

Penryn MacBook Pros 'a Fairly Significant
Upgrade'
Macworld's Jackie Dove reports:
"The new MacBook Pro models Apple released last week might be
classified as speed bumps, implying that the pro laptops' new
enhancements constitute a minor, albeit noteworthy update.
"However, these new MacBook Pros, a pair of 15-inch
models and a
17-inch model, represent a fairly significant upgrade - both in
terms of technology and performance - over their predecessors, which
were released 8 months ago. Debuting Intel's 45 nanometer Penryn
processor (a new generation of speedier chips that top the 65-nanometer
Merom chips powering the earlier models), the new 2.5 GHz MacBook Pros
achieved the best scores of any laptop in Macworld's Speedmark 5
benchmark tests."

bringing with it an improved hardware architecture, faster system bus,

ViDock Gfx Supports Multiple Monitors with
MacBook Pro
PR: ViDock Gfx is a graphics
expansion for notebook computers taking advantage of the powerful
ExpressCard expansion slot of modern systems like the MacBook Pro,
enabling additional displays to connect to your laptop portable
computer. ViDock Gfx brings uncompromised desktop class speed and
quality video to notebook computers.
Technical and compatibility information are available following the
tech link. The below links bring you to see how different applications
will benefit from a multidisplay setup.

It's about your time.
Ultimately, it's about your productivity. Portable computing and mobile
Internet helps to boost productivity, allowing flexibility and freedom,
being productive anytime, anywhere. It's about time to give the final
productivity boost to portable computers users, to people like you
-people addicted to portable computers. Imagine turning your notebook
into a multidisplay workstation when working at your desk, with the
freedom of choosing one or two or even three dream displays. Dream
about having simultaneous control over everything, spreading your
applications and documents on an extended desktop over several screens,
nothing interesting being hidden. You may have not realized that yet,
but you are dreaming of connecting ViDock Gfx to your notebook.
Editing video or complex
audio tracks always requires to work with timelines. A wide video
screens is already a good help for this, but imagine how much helpful
could be to have TWO wide displays one set beside the other,
representing a continuous desktop space. On top of the timeline
spanning both screens then you can enjoy plenty of space to place all
your video clips, previews and control panels including real time
visualizers of video signal parameters. ViDock Gfx, packed with full
video playback capability including HDTV and HDMI, is perfect for
everybody getting serious in video editing on a notebook computer.
Similarly, 3D graphics artists not only require the timeline when
creating animated clips, but also require an efficient 3D engine to
support solid modeling of the artificial reality and ViDock Gfx can
surpass in terms of features and speed most notebook computers in the
market in term of 3D realtime performance and quality. Why insist on
wide monitors when almost all publications and web sites are organized
in portrait? With ViDock Gfx not only can you enjoy portrait resolution
support, but most importantly you can connect more portrait screens!
Connecting three 20" displays in portrait mode gives you a higher total
resolution than a 30" screen at a fraction of the price, plus it's
conveniently organized in three portrait screens to help arranging,
comparing and integrating documents. This is true if you work with word
processors or if you are into desk top publishing or web design.
Specifically for web design, besides designing the page, it is
important to check the final results in one or two browsers!
Andio & Video Editing, 3D Modeling Text Editing, Web &
Publishing Graphics & Photo Editing
Working on a portrait display allows you to have the exact feeling
of how the printed page will look. You can keep it at full screen and
even at the 1:1 scale, and still having space available for all the
palettes and tools. The notebook screen remains available for typical
"wide" applications like email and file browsing.
Display size, resolution support, image quality and color
calibration support are all crucial elements when it comes to serious
graphics processing. ViDock Gfx is the best answer to all these
requirements. It can turn a notebook into a powerful graphics station.
Thanks to the DVI connection, the image quality is always the maximum
possible and, being DualLink enabled, you can connect the bigger
displays on the market, like 30" at 2560x1600 (4 MPixels), and still
add extra displays. As opposed to using video splitters, each screen
can be independently color calibrated when using ViDock Gfx, ensuring
uniform operation among different display models and brands, providing
the maximum flexibility of choice. Some specific games and simulators,
such as flight simulators, offer the possibility to support multiple
views. A flight simulator, for example, can allocate two screens to the
virtual cockpit, one to the instrument panel and one to the external
view of the airplane. Each screen will be updated in real time,
benefiting from the advanced 3D engine of ViDock Gfx. Simultaneously
you will be able to see the instrument panel and enjoy the view.
3D & Immersive Gaming
The fast graphics engine of ViDock Gfx (up to DirectX 10) will
benefit also games that do not support multiple screens. Add to that,
by running the games in "windowed mode" the extra monitors can still be
used to access audio/video conferencing software to keep in direct
contact with the team of a multi-user online game, to search the web
for hints or to keep track of your location on a displayed map, making
strategic online games enjoyable.
ViDock Gfx comes in three different editions to best suit your
needs. MacBook Pro users will find the Mac Edition to be the right
choice.
