I agree, Daniel — I was going to say that the only thing newsworthy
about it was how boring it was. A Twitter client and YouTube
downloads? Call me when things get interesting.

Thanks, MacBookOwner. I guess it's pretty obvious I don't have one
:-) Either way though, that just sounds off to me.

I skimmed it. If it's a hoax, the author was careful to include the most plausible things. There wasn't much to raise an eyebrow at.

Here's hoping the real one is more exciting.

“DVD drive pops open on side when eject button is pressed ” Don't they all do that?”

No, neither the MacBook nor MBP (nor the iMac for that matter) have anything to “pop open” (they are slot loading) Not sure what the rumor is talking about, unless they are claiming Apple put a door or cover over the slot, or made it tray loading? Or, worse, there was an Apple patent out there that showed a notebook with the DVD drive on the bottom, with a door that…yeah, popped open downward. Ugh.
