Excellent! Although I hope it doesnt end up being buggy. I'm also kind of curious... the newer Intel chips seem to be being developed in Intel's Isreal branch... could the recent conflict in that region have spurred a rushed release, what effects will the conflict there have on the computer industry?

any idea when these will actually end up in macbooks for actual purchase?

Thanks

Last I heard Intel's engineers over in Israel are all working out of bunkers.

I wouldn't count on an announcement at WWDC (World Wide Developers Conference). Apple will probably want to focus on the Mac Pro (the Intel-based tower) rather than go back to notebooks. Unless Apple is virtually ready to go with new MacBook Pros, it would be more realistic to anticipate a September launch. Not so coincidentally, Apple Expo Paris kicks off on September 12th.

I wouldn't trust a news report that says Hizbullah. They can't even get the name right. Not to mention the horrilbe fake like one liner quotes.

Seeing as it's the English version of Yedioth Ahronoth, the largest Israeli daily nespaper, I'd say it's pretty reliable. The same piece of news, expanded, is available from the English language website for Ha'aretz, another major Israeli daily (and generally the one with the largest circulation worldwide, though not within Israel), so I'd say it's pretty accurate (the other large Israeli daily, Ma'ariv, does not have an English language website).
