Apple Store is down, new Macs on the way? {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}

Rumor: mini packaging and an Apple event {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Mar 2nd 2009 1:50PM Well, it may be fake, maybe not. It appears that if it's real, this is being aimed at the group of people who need the dual 30" displays without the power of the MacPro. Our school newspaper would be an example: our photo editors use a MacPro to run Photoshop and twin 30" displays. I'm sure top Mini could do this just as effectively, and much cheaper. The Mini is the computer we want on our boat. Very compact, can run the Nav gear (if Ubuntu or Vista is installed), and can house all the media we listen to/watch.
iPhone firmware update 2.2.1 brings minor stability improvements {Engadget}
Jan 27th 2009 5:01PM I saw the link, connected my iPhone, hit update. 18 seconds later (yeah, 18 seconds from plugging the iPhone in to my computer), the update was downloaded... Then 3-4 minutes later, the install complete! Gotta love fast internet! At my parents' place it probably would've taken over an hour...
These improvements probably mean very little day–to–day, though my Safari does crash every couple of days...
Eye-Fi functionality comes to iPhone via new application {Engadget}
Jan 5th 2009 2:35PM Um... maybe to use your Nikon D80 SLR in the field. This would be handy for me. On the way back from a meeting and subsequent public event with the Canadian Prime Minister, I was in the back of our vehicle transferring photos to my laptop and then to my iPhone, before using the 3G network to email the photos and a story before press time for a few local papers. Since the photos required no editing, I could theoretically just take a camera and iPhone to many events. No need for my MBP as a middleman and added weight.
Leaked Snow Leopard image potentially indicates a 32 / 64-bit divide {Engadget}
Dec 28th 2008 4:07PM @Mark Anderson:
Vista Basic (full edition) = $199.99 + 64 bit ~ $15.00S&H = $214.99 + tax. Ultimate? ~$300
Mac OS X Leopard Home Basic, 32-bit: $129.99 + tax
Mac OS X Leopard Home Basic, 64-bit: $129.99 + tax
Mac OS X Leopard Home Premium, 32-bit: $129.99 + tax
Mac OS X Leopard Home Premium, 64-bit: $129.99 + tax
Mac OS X Leopard Business, 32-bit: $129.99 + tax
Mac OS X Leopard Business, 64-bit: $129.99 + tax
Mac OS X Leopard Ultimate, 32-bit: $129.99 + tax
Mac OS X Leopard Ultimate, 64-bit: $129.99 + tax
The best part? You can buy all 8 versions on the exact same disc for... $129.99!
I'm just going to assume that the Ultimate version of Snow Leopard will be $129.99 + tax for 64-bit, while Windows 7 Ultimate will be around $400 at release and they'll probably still charge a shipping fee and make you wait 10 days for the 64-bit version.

Tesla Motors to build new HQ, factory in San Jose {Engadget}
Sep 17th 2008 10:18PM It's great to see a company willing to set up shop in the USA or Canada these days. We need manufacturing jobs, high–quality, well–paying ones at that.
Even though I'm not American, I really enjoy hearing about manufacturing jobs there, as it is a mainstay in the world's economy.
Congrats Tesla, maybe I'll buy one of your cars when I make my millions.
iPhone 3G vs. Sony's 40-inch ZX1 LCD television... Fight! {Engadget}
Aug 28th 2008 6:51AM In my opinion, anyone who takes the time to click the link, write in their login information and write a post cares, because otherwise, you have four methods of avoiding the post:
1. Scroll past it;
2. Alt + F4 or ⌘ + q ;
3. Click the button at the top left (or right) of your screen, it's marked with an 'x';
4. The big button on your computer works too. It closes all internet connections, and causes the screen to display a soothing, black picture.
There are four options to get you started.

Japanese firms to partially propel cargo ship via solar panels {Engadget}
Aug 28th 2008 6:41AM Well, that's a good start, I suppose. But considering how much fuel these suckers burn (the per-container amount is almost nothing, but I'm talking in total), 1% savings is probably enough to take a lot of cars off the road... My guess would be at least 5,000.
