Apple Airbook

There's a new ultra portable mac to be announced todday I think, some speculation here on Wired, see how everyone has to comment without reading the article? (Cue replies here, missing the point of this post, if there was a point, and there were any readers). www.engadget.com will have live coverage of Steve Jobs keynote speech live, that's where something cool is always announced in an "oh, one more thing" bit at the end.

I'm only reminded of this gadgetiness because Engadget podcast is back. They took a break six months ago, but suddenly they've started appearing in itunes again, special coverage of CES, but I hope they carry on after the show finishes.

Man alive it's EVIL out today. I thought this morning "it looks nearly wet enough out to wear full waterproofs LOL!!!", and I wish I had, I got soaked on the way to and from the station, my trousers and my shoes are wet through.

I don't know if the new Mac will really be called an Airbook, that was a rumour on Wired, and someone from www.macrumors.com has registered it as a domain. Also, I thought www.thinksecret.com had closed down? They have a news story on the 26th December saying

Apple and Think Secret have settled their lawsuit, reaching an agreement that results in a positive solution for both sides. As part of the confidential settlement, no sources were revealed and Think Secret will no longer be published. Nick Ciarelli, Think Secret's publisher, said "I'm pleased to have reached this amicable settlement, and will now be able to move forward with my college studies and broader journalistic pursuits."

A bit of 'ush please

Nice evening out at the Cross Keys and then to the Punjab. The combo of Spitfire and curry have given me a touch of wind today, but at least I have finally asked my ushers to Ush for me on the big day. Still got plenty more to do for the wedding, according to the list:

Compile guest names and addresses
Coach transport for guests
List of guest houses, hotels etc. + map ((get some of that from here)
Book hotel for wedding night
Book honeymoon
Wedding gift list arrangements
Wedding favours
Ceremony details
Wedding rings
Formal Wear
Best man's gift
Ushers gifts
Music entertainment

Plenty to do still. Looks like I've done nothing so far innit?

Seems Steve Jobs did announce the iPod mini mini flash based player, or the iPod shuffle as they're calling it...
