OMG it cant be wireless energy induction its simple years away. What else can light emission be??? At least almost touching the computer or from a small distance.

I'm guessing that to precisely cut into a brick of alumnium (check the update link below the pic) you would need to use laser...thus it might be a confirmation that the new macbook will have the one piece aluminum as a case. I doubt that it'll be about wireless tech, but a good idea though.

you clearly know precisely nothing about manufacturing. You can 'precisely cut aluminum' with any mill you can find in any shop in the world, been done for a very very long time.

Manufacturing a case this way would be nothing short of insane, the cost would be ridiculous.

Wait, This is an image leeked from apple or some mockup thing.

don't you spell that leaked rather then leeked as leek is a vegetable...

9to5Mac Noob (not verified) | October 03, 2008 - 8:18am

Really? I did not know there was such a thing as a Leek

Yup. We grow leeks by the bushel at our farm. We grow so many that we built a vegetable stand with the sign: "Please Stop and Take a Leek".

That's funny.

9to5Mac Noob (not verified) | October 04, 2008 - 12:18pm

shouldn't you spell that 'than' rather than 'then'?

well played sir... well played indeed.

 Just a mockup.

I have no idea what I am looking at.

Admit that you were bored and wanted to play with our minds.

(Pretty please?)

the book underneath is cryptonomicon by neal stephenson, its about WWII, but i also found this site
http://www.cryptonomicon.com/beginning.html
what does it all mean??

I think it means that it is a slab computer, good for reading books.

i think they are saying they've found a way to harness information and beam it directly to a receiver. like, say, a human mind...!

This is the symbol of the destruction of Apple by the new Windows Cloud Operationg System!

(We are seeing Apple from the Microsoft Start of Death.)

9to5Mac Noob | October 02, 2008 - 10:05pm

it does look like the Death Star...

Cryptonomicon talked of a secure data storage facility. Imagine a localized .Mac, with a media server as the brick. Smaller devices come out at a cheaper price, but along with them everyone buys the 'brick' as well to store and sync their data and media. Or combine the mac mini with the AppleTV , with some smart syncing (hopefully over wifi or 3G), and you get the brick.

I'd bet that you're on the right track. Very curious about how this will work.

Very "different", very APPLE.

9to5Mac Noob (not verified) | October 02, 2008 - 8:10pm

This looks like someone had an afternoon off and they were bored on photoshop... What is it?

Is this from Apple or is this another junie story thats posted on 9 to 5 mac?

Seriously stop posting crap guys we want just legit stuff. Apple doesnt post stuff like this...

i'm tired of the "photoshop" objection-- what is it supposed to mean, really? even the real ads are photoshopped. if you think it's fake, just say it's fake.

9to5Mac Noob (not verified) | October 02, 2008 - 8:10pm

9to5Mac Noob (not verified) | October 02, 2008 - 8:13pm

Pictured above is the old spyder by wicked lasers. They provide some of the most powerful handheld lasers. so ehm blue ray, or wireless transfer.
