Many readers have contacted us following the previous news concerning the estimated shipping date on
Apple Store.
This one has moved from 24 hours to 3 days, while MB Pro are simply not available outside the
Apple Store network. This is probably the first hint indicating that even Apple is not having stock of such notebook anymore, waiting for the revision to be introduced within the next 10 days. Is Apple preparing something special around Halloween's night?
We have just released a new
article describing how to setup a Mac Pro in order to turn it into a QuadBoot machine.
With such installation, not so easy to perform, the Mac Pro is almost the universal computer expected by many users, making it possible run MacOSX, Linux, Vista and WinXP from the same computer.
Please react and discuss the procedure in our forum:

Sony has once more postponed the availability date of its standalone Blu-ray player BDP-S1, originally planned to be introduced last July. The expect date is now set to December 4th.
Officially the reason is the PS3 launch, indeed the Sony game console will feature a BD player; so Sony needs all blue-laser diode to be used for the next generation playstation.
Another reason is the lower than expected yield of blue-laser diodes; this will both slow down BD player spreading and adoption by customers, preventing also competitors to offer cheaper BD players.
A bit difficult not to mention this information, the iPod is celebrating today its 5-years anniversary. This mobile MP3 player has simply initiated a revolution, both for digital music, and also the way we listen to music.
The iPod is also the device that has allowed Apple to be back on tract in its never-ending competition with other hardware and software giants.
First models were working only on Macs, and the Mac community has massively supported this product, making it known, showing PC users how the iPod was the Apple's translation of MP3 player, the same way the Mac is Apple's idea of a computer.
Cupertino should not forget that the iPod success is partially due to the very active and innovative Mac community.
