All signs point to new Apple notebooks Real Soon Now: Apple is
limiting shipments to Best Buy and has ordered new circuit boards, and
Intel recently released its mobile Centrino 2 platform and promises its
first quad-core mobile CPU in August.
There's also rampant speculation about the hinted-at "product
transition" that's going to reduce Apple's margins in the coming
quarter. Will Apple slash prices to compete with HP and Dell? Will it
introduce a Mac Tablet? Will we finally see a low-end desktop Mac?
Jobs only knows!
All prices are in US dollars unless otherwise noted.

Apple Limiting MacBook Shipments to Best Buy, New
MacBooks Soon?
MacNN reports:
"Rumors are swirling about new MacBooks and MacBook Pros, with
recent reports of increased notebook circuit board
orders and limited shipments to Best Buy over the
next two weeks. Intel's introduction Monday of its new Centrino 2
platform has been considered the last hurdle in the race to new
MacBooks, which were rumored for a possible WWDC introduction in June
before Intel delayed the Centrino 2 launch."

Apple Buys More Circuit Boards - MacBook Refresh
Imminent?
Register Hardware's
Tony Smith reports:
"More evidence has emerged that Apple's about to refresh its laptop
line-up: the company is claimed to have upped its
circuit-board orders by 20 per cent.
"So say sources cited by Chinese-language newspaper the Commercial
Times. That increase is over and above the volume of PCBs Apple is said

iPod and MacBook Buyers May Want to Hold Off for a
While
Seeking
Alpha's Larry Dignan says:
"Amid all the chatter about Apple's fiscal third quarter results,
which were strong, most concerns about the future revolve around two
words: Gross margins. The big takeaway for technology buyers: Those
lower margins hint at cheaper iPods and notebooks in the
not-too-distant future.
"Following Apple's typical strong quarter with a side of
conservative guidance (Techmeme), CFO Peter Oppenheimer and COO Tim
Cook noted that gross margins would be 31.5 percent for the September
quarter and about 30 percent in fiscal 2009. It could be that Apple is
lowballing again with its outlook, but there are good reasons to think
that your Mac notebooks and iPods will come cheaper in the future.
"Bottom line: If you're in the market for an Apple iPod or notebook
a little procrastination may not hurt, given the company's
comments."
Snow Leopard and Quad-core Mobile Intel Chips
Should Make a Sweet Combo
Macsimum
News's Dennis Sellers says:
"In covering Intel's announcement of upcoming quad-core chips for
laptops InfoWorld says that 'getting a quad-core processor into a
laptop is more about bragging rights than a genuine boost in
performance.' That's true for many Windows-based systems, but less true
for Mac OS X systems....
...However, with the upcoming Snow Leopard, having a quad-core
laptop will make even more sense. One of the additional benefits is
that increases in performance from better use of multi-core chips will
extend the usable life of the hardware further. Virtualization is
another big place where multi-core chips will play a big part.
"'Grand Central,' a new set of technologies built into Snow Leopard,
brings 'unrivaled support' for multicore systems to Mac OS X...."

Apple 'Product Transition' Sparks Web

"Apple's tease of a 'product transition' in the works sparked debate
among pundits Tuesday about what the Mac and iPod maker may be
planning.
"In a conference call Monday, CFO Peter Oppenheimer told financial
analysts that product development contributed to a drop in gross margin
in the fiscal second quarter to 34.8%. Moreover, the 'product
transition' would help push the margin, also known as gross profits,
down further in the current quarter to 31.5%, and keep it around 30% in
fiscal 2009.
"Oppenheimer declined to provide even a hint of what Apple is
working on, but promised it would be 'state of the art' and unmatched
by rivals. Those comments sparked a firestorm of speculation among

Netbooks: A Cheap Alternative to Work Travel

"Planet small biz, meet the netbook: a quick and relatively cheap
portable computer that not only gets your small business more virtual
but keeps your people off the road - and away from burning pricey
fossil fuels.
"'Netbooks' (networked notebooks, get it?) are part of new product
angle from big laptop vendors like Hewlett-Packard, (HPQ - Cramer's
Take - Stockpickr), Lenova (LNV - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) and Dell
(DELL - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr). The marketing notion here is to
create a line of computers with average computational power suited to
run both standard business applications and the new generation of
online business process apps delivered via the Web.
"...Netbooks are relatively light, around four pounds. They're
nothing like the under-two-pound ultraportables, but lighter than the
eight-pound-plus desktop replacements. They are relatively cheap,
starting in the $500ish range, with properly configured units running
around $700. Again, not as low-cost as super-discount notebooks, but
far cheaper than high-end portables like the MacBook Air from Apple or
the Toshiba's r500."

Intelligels Wrist Rests for Laptop Computers
PR: Computer Intelligence, Inc. has launched its Intelligels
line of wrist rests for laptop computers. These patent-pending wrist
rests were designed to differentiate themselves from the dozens of
different wrist rests sold for desktop computers and the few sold for
laptops. The goal of this unique design is to provide comfort and
relieve the pain and discomfort in the palms and wrists while typing on
a hot and hard laptop case. While simple in appearance and design,
Intelligels offers two versions of the wrist rest, SoftGEL and Lycra
nylon SoftFOAM.
Intelligels' one-size-fits-all fits a majority of laptop
computers and provides ergonomic support and exceptional, soothing
wrist comfort for Apple, H-P, Dell, Sony, Toshiba and all 12" - 17"
wide screen laptop/notebook computer brands. Mouse touch pads and click
buttons work seamlessly with Intelligels.
Michael E. Zuckerman, CEO and founder of Computer Intelligence,
Inc., has been in the computer industry for over 25 years. As a
business analyst, IT developer and road-warrior consultant he has spent
many hours working uncomfortably on his laptop and began to experience
signs of carpal tunnel syndrome. As a direct result of this and unable
to find anything in the market to solve his problem, Mr. Zuckerman
designed Intelligels laptop computer wrist rests. With the two styles
Computer Intelligence offers a broader selection of product solutions
for the consumer, whether student, road-warrior or gamer.
Place the rectangular-shaped Intelligels directly on the case
of the laptop where you rest the heels of your hands. In the center is
a one-size-fits-all cutout area so you can access your integrated
touchpad and mouse click buttons. Both work seamlessly with
Intelligels.
SoftGEL Intelligels is composed of polyurethane gel for a soft
supportive feel while offering a cool feel to your hand. The available
colors are lime green, red, orange, blue, pink and black. Therefore,
you can add your own personal touch to your computer and keep up with
market trends in laptop colors from leading manufacturers.
SoftFOAM Intelligels is a Lycra nylon covered rest injected with
soft foam on a rubber nonskid base. This too provides excellent
ergonomic comfort and relief with a curved resting position for the
heel of you hands and more cushion. Lycra SoftFOAM rests are available
in black, grey and navy blue. Both wrist rests do not slip and stay in
place while resting on your laptop for more control. Then you can
remove and store the Intelligels when not in use.
As
noted on the US Department of Labor's OSHA's website concerning the
proper positioning of your hand/wrist in the use of computers: "Your
hands should move freely and be elevated above the wrist/palm rest
while typing. When resting, the pad should contact the heel or palm of
your hand, not your wrist." Intelligels laptop wrist rests are designed
to provide this exact type of support.
Intelligels solves key problems and offers great benefits:
- Places laptop computer user's hands in an ergonomically correct,
comfortable typing position.
- Provides superior comfort and support for your wrists and hands
while using a laptop.
- No more typing directly on hot, hard laptop computer cases for
hours.
- Keeps palms and hands cooler and more comfortable while you use
your computer.
- Reduces wrist strain and may reduce the risk of carpal tunnel
syndrome and repetitive stress disorders.
- Intelligels is durable and washable. Simply rinse with water to
clean (Original Soft Gel Style)
- Integrated mouse touch pad and both click buttons work seamlessly
with Intelligels soft edge.
- Handy full-length PVC plastic custom ziplock storage cases
available soon. (see below)

Lounge-book Freestanding Recliner Laptop
Stand
PR: Lounge-book from Lounge-tek of Verona, Italy, is not a
simple accessory but an innovative solution that will help you use
a
notebook in complete relaxation wherever you want: in an armchair,
on the sofa, on a chaise-lounge or even better - in bed.
Lounge-book helps prevent health problems and overcome physical
limitations due to poor ergonomics or a too long use - a new philosophy
for the use of Notebook computers
Surprisingly simple technical solutions
- Lounge-book is symmetrical and you can use it either on the right
or on the left side;
- You can regulate its height and adapt it to any position;
- The aeration holes and the ability to incline the support tray will
allow you to find the perfect position for your Notebook, with
efficient ventilation system to help keep your 'Book cool.
- The micro-table "Lounge-pod" is ideal to support and maneuver an
external mouse or to keep your mobile phone even better a drink
handy.
- The fastener knob used for setting the support in inclination and
height permits a stable block and excellent precision of
adjustment
- The base supports at the end of the Lounge-book are very small,
only 3 cm, which allows placing Lounge-book more or less anywhere and
perfectly positioned.
Lounge-book is more than an accessory, it's a piece
of industrial design art added to your furniture, that integrates your
notebook with the personality of your house and of your living. You
have the maximum freedom in finding your ideal combination thanks to
the availability of seven models.
Chaise-Lounge Use
It's the ideal method for a relaxed use of the notebook, comfortably
lying in the most ergonomic position you could have.
Its not by chance that the company logo has been
designed to show this position.
It symbolizes the perfect philosophy of the comfortable and
ergonomic use of a notebook. The Lounge-tek approach goes far beyond
the function of the technical instrument to arrive at a real and proper
lifestyle.
In Bed
At home or in an hotel, Lounge-book allows you to do what you've
always wanted to do with your notebook, but unlikely managed to do it -
comfortably using it lying on your bed.
The 35-degree inclination permits the support to be
regulated in an optimal way to work with your notebook from a
horizontal position and at the same time guarantees the best air flow
for the cooling outlets of the computer.
The suspended structure allows you to locate Lounge-book at the
right height to avoid putting weight on your body and at the same time
to reach the keyboard with your fingers by leaning on your elbows,
guaranteeing a natural position for your arms and head.
In an Armchair
Completing a report or chatting with friends from your armchair in
the lounge?
To finish the day in total relaxation there isn't anything better.
You can position your Lounge-book as you wish thanks to the versatility
of the structure and the adjustable supports that let your body find
the best position. In front of the TV or in group, using a notebook for
work or fun has never been so comfortable.
Even if you are a freelance and use the notebook all day or a normal
user with a less advanced laptop, Lounge-book will ensure comfortable
use.
In the Garden or on a Verandah
On a deck chair either in a garden or on a terrace, Lounge-book
gives the best performance: the adjustable structure adapts to any
height, while the Notebook support can be perfectly regulated to
respect the chosen inclination: and if you don't use Lounge-Pad for the
mouse or to support your mobile phone, you have the space for a
drink.
Even outside the Notebook becomes a pleasant distraction or a
comfortable workmate.
With Lounge-book you can use your notebook in the peace of your
garden or verandah, connected to a wireless world.
Working near the swimming pool, on the deck chair, you need only a
Lounge-book and a cool drink- the Lounge-book way of life.
Public Use
Lounge-tek is trying to arrange with different suppliers to make the
comfort of Lounge-book available even when you are out:
- while you are waiting for your flight
- comfortably seated in a hotel at the lounge or in your bedroom
- In a conference room or during a course
- In waiting rooms and in health care structures
Lounge-book has been designed and realized in Veneto, an
extraordinary region of Italy where a brilliant network of
professionals gather, with ethics, traditions and innovation and a deep
culture of quality and respect of the rules. A new way to make business
that uses the territory and the innovation available to compete better
on the market, eliminating the useless costs that weigh down the
quality of products or increase prices for the buyer.
All the production phases are developed in the respect of current
laws, using materials and varnishes approved by the European Union in
terms of protecting workers' health.
Lounge-tek started the lounge-book project targeting relax and
comfort as primary objectives but in developing the idea they also
found many ergonomics issues that this product can help address.
Shipping to USA and Canada is under the same terms as to European
countries with payment accepted through PayPal
A Lounge Book Standard costs 99.00€ + transport 15.00€
=114.00€ or about $180 at current exchange rates including Duty
and Tax and UPS delivery.
Delivery takes approximately a week.

MacBook & MacBook Pro Extended Fan
Control
PR: With the upgrade to 10.5, the developer's Intel-based
iMac was left without a fan-control solution that worked adequately. To
that end, he decided to modify the open source (GPL) FanControl to work
with the iMac. The result is two new versions of Fan Control, one
optimized for the Intel-based iMacs and one for the MacBook/MacBook
Pro.
These versions also have some extended control capabilities over the
original FanControl. The iMac version uses separate sensors to drive
the control of each of its three fans. The MacBook/MacBook Pro version
allows use of the CPU and/or GPU temperatures to drive the fans. (The
GPU-based operation can be useful if you play games.)
