Leopard shortage in Brazil

After Leopard arriving almost on month later than it’s “worldwide release”, the new Mac OS can’t be found on any store in Brazil. It is sad that Apple USA just sent 180 units. Ok, the market-share is not that big, but 180 units? That’s ridiculous! The next shipment is scheduled to reach the stores by 22^nd December. HA HA HA.. Shame on you Apple.

New Get-A-Mac TV Ad is bugged, or not?

I’ve just watched the new Apple’s Get-A-Mac TV Ad called “PR Lady” and I believe there is something a little wrong with that. The show is OK, but at the end, when the iMac appears, the logo on it’s front side is white and not black as it should be.

So, this is a “bug” , a new iMac model or an easter egg?

Ultra-portable Apple notebook is on the way!

AppleInsider is reporting that according to their internal sources at Apple, the long time rumored apple-ultra-slim-sub-notebook will make its debut at the Macworld Expo (Jan/2008). I believe the rumors are true, so I am not buying a new laptop this year. Tickets for San Francisco, please.
