And One More Thing: Apple Upgrades White Macbook Specs
 |
iSneaky: The White 13-inch MacBook has been upgraded, but for some unfathomable reason Apple’s not flaunting it. It absolutely definitely surely can’t be because of the newer, more expensive Aluminum MacBooks.

Told You He Wasn’T Far Behind: Darth Vader on a Race Car
 |
I knew it. After this ominous sighting, we now have concrete proof that the stories that our chubby, white-bearded forefather told us were just that: mere stories. Know this: The Sith Lord is upon us. He’s not in a galaxy far, far away. He’s in a black Ariel Atom. The… |
