The new aluminum MacBook, released in October, was known as the "brick" before release due to its new single-piece construction method. The notebook's body is built by carving out pieces from a single brick of aluminum.

Trapping the Snow Leopard

The OS War between Microsoft and Apple has been going on since the release of the Macintosh in 1984.

As we approach closer to present day, the release of Mac OS X in 2001 completely changed the playing field. 2009 is looking to be a turning point for both operating systems with Microsoft slated to release Windows 7 in October and Apple releasing OS X Snow Leopard on August 30. Both systems boast better performances, and seeing as I've already turned my skeptical eye to Windows 7 in a previous blog, I feel that it's Apple's turn on the chopping block.
