Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The Apple world has been going crazy over news of the new MacBooks. You know, the aluminium bodied, glass-trackpad festooned objects of desire that everyone thought would already be on sale. Now we are told that they will have added NVIDIA power and be unveiled next week...
According to a posting on that bastion of all things Apple shaped and
rumour flavoured, The Unofficial Apple Weblog, we do not have long to
wait for the new MacBook.
TUAW reports
that it has been hearing from "various sources" that the new Apple
MacBook will be launching on October 14th.
What's more, those same sources are insisting that the MacBook will
come complete with some NVIDIA power under the hood. "A source tells us
that NVIDIA is showing off new MacBooks to their employees" TUAW says.
Yes, it is a rumour site, and yes it does get things wrong quite often.
Thing is, TUAW also gets things absolutely spot on rather a lot as
well. Because of its high profile in the leaky Apple news business,
there are plenty of insiders happy to drop a word in the direction of
TUAW about forthcoming releases.
Other sites have also been talking up the NVIDIA MacBook connection.
Take Mac Soda which just last month insisted
that the new MacBook will come with the equally new NVIDIA MCP7A-U
graphics chipset.
Heck, I was suggesting that the new MacBook would possibly come replete
with a NVIDIA produced chipset as far back as July, right here at
iTWire. Of course, the primary CPU will continue to be an Intel Inside
experience but if the MacBook can get some additional graphical gaming
oomph out of NVIDIA then I for one would not be unhappy.
Nor would I be too upset if Apple reduces the footprint in terms of
weight and power consumption. Especially if it involves the rumoured
one-piece aluminium body. Then there is that glass trackpad that has also been suggested as being
on the new MacBook design agenda. A smooth surfaced multi-touch affair
that supports user gestures no less.
Of course, there were also plenty of rumours that the new Macbook was
going to be revealed at the Let's Rock event back at the start of
September, but here at iTWire we said that was unlikely. And we were right.
Only time will tell if TUAW is also right on this occasion, and we should all know in a week...
