Apple rolls out two new MacBook Air models

“What would happen if a MacBook and an iPad hooked up?”, Steve Jobs asked his “Back to the Mac” audience today, and answered his own question with the release of two new versions of the MacBook Air, available today starting at $999.

The new duo includes a 13.3-inch, 2.9-pound version, the same display size as the MacBook Air has had since it was introduced in January 2008. But the 13.3-inch model “has a younger brother, too,” Jobs told his audience at the company’s Cupertino campus.

That li’l bro is a new 11.6 inch, 2.3-pound MacBook Air, with a display resolution of 1,336-by-768 pixels; its 13.3-inch big brother’s resolution is 1,440-by-900 pixels.

Apple vs. Google vs. RIM vs. TweetDeck: Why losers and winners shouldn’t trash talk

Share

Don’t get me wrong – the kind of drama going on in the tech world right now is like candy to a baby for me and I certainly don’t want it to stop.  

This is because it gives me an opportunity to point out how a bunch of folks who make more than I do in a year in one day, or less, are behaving like little children.

If you can remember back to the Church Lady riff on Saturday Night Live, you can imagine my living room where I’ve been pleased to do that dance for several months while seriously wondering if the devil is making these folks do this stuff or they truly are a few cans short of a six pack.

Let’s take the latest row:
 
Apple/Google/RIM/Tweetdeck Pissing Match
 
Initially picked up on the WSJ and then covered again in a more summarized for over at the Mercury News at SilconValley.com, this has a bunch of folks who should know better arguing over who is the biggest douche.
