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."

It's a deal

Been too busy with work, so missed if this was in the Herald or not, but according to ickent Mr DeHann and Mr Godden have done a deal for the seafront land! This is great! I think!

ROGER De Haan and Jimmy Godden have done a deal for the seafront at Folkestone.

The two businessmen have reached a compromise agreement which virtually guarantees a world- class development in the harbour area.

Contracts have been exchanged and Trent Development, which had outline planning permission for the Rotunda site, pulled out completely last week.

Although all parties are still bound by a confidentiality clause and are unable to comment, we understand Mr Godden accepted an offer involving cash plus property acquisition. It is understood that Mr Godden has also released properties which will form part of the iconic masterplan dream created by the architect Norman Foster.

A joint statement confirming the deal was due this week.

do u think

it's worth spending the extra on the more expensive one?

things i will be using it for:
1. listening to music
2. using calendar
3. maybe use for emails etc
4. anything else that's good.
5. it will need to be very secure as potentially will have confidential work stuff on.
