    What a blunder. Come out with a product code named "brick" so that anybody googling for it finds dozens and dozens of articles about Apple "brick"-ing iphones! This might require an artful leak by Apple to replace all those high page-ranked articles about destroyed iphones from coming up on a google search for "apple brick". :eek:

    If they really come up with a product named "The Brick", I'm pretty sure it's going to be a new Mini..

    I really hope the nVidia chipset rumour is true, it'd bring me back to Mac.

    id rather pay extra for an apple ibrick even if the home depot brick is more cost effective / performance. i just have a feeling that the end user experience of the ibrick will be worth the extra cost.

    That should have a new line, the BrickBook, BrickBook Pro, BrickBook Air (THAT would be interesting) iBrick and the Brick Pro.

    With Intel Cement Processor technology! *gasps*
