It has more linen, unsurprisingly … and the ugly-as-sin Address Book from the iPad and OS X Lion.

1TB in 9.5MM
While SSDs are all the rage — for good reason — MacBook Pro users looking for the maximum amount of storage possible should be rejoicing tonight, as WD has launched a 1TB drive that will fit into Apple’s notebooks.
Launchpad Control
This little app seems pretty neat, if you’re into huge icons flying back and forth on your Mac.
About Auto Save and Versions
Apple has shed some light on these new features in Lion.
The Answer is Yes
Government has less cash than Apple
As Republicans and Democrats continue to work towards a compromise to the country’s debt ceiling crisis, the U.S. Treasury Department said on Thursday that Washington now has a total operating balance of only US$73.768-billion.
Meanwhile, Apple currently boasts a cash reserve of US$75.876-billion, as of its most recent quarterly earnings report at the end of June.
Of course, the numbers aren’t directly comparable; the government’s number represents how much financial headroom it has before bumping up against an arbitrary debt ceiling, while Apple’s cash reserve represents the pile of money the Cupterino, California-based company has available on its balance sheet.
On the iPhone 5 and Nuance
While recording this week’s Bro Show, I had a thought about the iPhone 5.
I have been wondering for weeks now what Apple could add to the iPhone at this point, from a hardware perspective. Clearly, things like a faster processor and better camera are on tap for future models, but I really can’t think of a single “it” feature that would knock things out of the park.
Then, I had it.

iCal Makes the Eyes Bleed
I was fortunate to once again join Myke and Terry on the always-great Bro Show podcast. This week, we talked about Lion, iPhone 5 rumors and the 13” MacBook Pro.
Be sure to stick around to the end. We included some bonus material this week.

Dave has brought back a nightmare I thought we had all forgotten.
Not So Portable
Ben Brooks, commenting on the 13” MacBook Pro:
Because nothing screams pro like: Supported resolutions: 1280 by 800 (native). If you really need power and portability with FireWire 800: MacBook Air 13″ Core i7 with a new Thunderbolt display. There are also Thunderbolt adapter cables in the works to provide FireWire 800 without the extra glass. The 13″ is dead and, unfortunately, Apple just hasn’t told it that yet.
Yes, the native resolution of the 13” MacBook Pro sucks, but I think I would have a hard time squeezing a 27” Thunderbolt Display into my server rack next time I need to go change something on my router or work directly on my Xserve. While new adaptors may be on the way, the Air isn’t a viable solution for someone like me today.
Best Forum Question Ever?
I’m trying to put a cd into the iPad 2 to play a track but the slot underneath the screen won’t allow me. What can I do?
