The German website of T-Systems shows a possible picture of the upcoming MacBook Pro
The MacBook Pro has a black frame around the screen and a magnet-based closing mechanism. The pictures does not show a visible IR-receiver though.
The technical details are same as the actual one besides a faster CPU.
After the iPhone was announced in Germany today i found this commercial in a German Newspaper:
Take a closer look and realize this is definitely not silver:
Looks like there could be a white iPhone in the future. Or the guys from the print service messed it up.
Tired of leeching tons of megabytes on updates after re-installing your system? Here is the solution!
Who does not know this problem. After re-installing your system there are a huge amount of updates to download and install. Even for those having a fast Internet access it takes a while. And what to do if you have to keep more than one system up-2-date.
The German computer magazine c’t came up with a neat solution (Artikel aus c’t 10/07, S. 192). They created a little application based on AppleScript that does the work for you.
It is called OliU (OfflineUpdates). You can download it here. The archive contains three files
The application will do the download for you and create a disk image. You can store that then either on DVD-R(W) or on an external drive like your Apple iPod. Or you can put it in your “Web-Sites”-folder and distribute it over the local network.
The OliU works for both Intel- and PowerPC-based Macs. Even the application updates are included. The only restriction is, that Mac OS X earlier than 10.4 are, due to update mechanism, unsopperted.
A little legal information: The application is copyright protected and not Public Domain. It is not meant to be used as commercial.
You are encouraged to copy and distribute the tool or parts of it as long as
More information (in German) you find on the c’t Web site

Apple has said that “some batteries” in its range of MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops have “performance issues”.
I wonder if my MacBook battery is affected.
For my 15-inch G4 Powerbook 1,67 Ghz I got a new battery before.

Since CocoaWget is just a small, simple but sweet application the translation work was pretty easy and fast.
The harder part was to get a valid e-mail address of the developer.
But even that barrier I took and sent him the translation files.
He responded to me already and he is going to release the localized Version by next weekend.

CocoaWget is a front-end application for GNU wget. You can use it to download entire websites or parts of websites for offline viewing.
The little program Gnu Wget is already included in CocoaWget, so there is not need to install it seperately.
The application comes in English and Japanese. Maybe I should translate it into German?
