The site Coolaler managed to get their hands on what appears to be a prototype mobile Core 2 Duo-based architecture Penryn.


This model clocked at 2.8 GHz is at the highest rating. It has 6 MB cache in total. Two others at 2.5 and 2.6 GHz feature identical cache size. However, the 2.1 and 2.4 GHz versions will come with half L2 cache.
These products are scheduled for the beginning 2008, and possibly, Apple refreshes its range of MacBook Pro at the Macworld Expo in San Francisco with these.

More and more burners are marketed with the SATA interface. We have just published an article explaining how to build a cable from one SATA connectors on the motherboard of Mac Pros.

Nothing really complicated, but an eye for details is still necessary.

Like last year, Apple is offering a guide to shop online with special rates throughout the day, in anticipation of the festive season.

The Store featured reductions from 5% to 10% on most items. For example -51EUR on MacBooks and iMacs, -11EUR on iPods nano and shuffle -21EUR on the iPod classic.
Anyone took advantaged while it lasts?

Dailymotion is offering a similar service as that of YouTube.
Perhaps this move was motivated by the large sales and publicity generated by these devices, Dailymotion offers a special web page devoted to mobile Apple.
One can access the site by using Safari. The navigation on the site is very similar to that of YouTube (on the iPhone & iPod Touch).

VLC v0.8.6d is now available. This new version fixes bugs and provides better support for Mac OS X 10.5.
