No New MacBook Pros Today

The story is not necessarily that there isn't new MacBook Pros, but that everyone and their mother was writing stories saying there was, but there wasn't.

Was very confusing getting all the submissions about it :confused:

Well... yeah. It's Monday, not Tuesday. Having said that, they're not coming tomorrow, either.

That's ... weird. Why did sites think they had been updated?

Is it time for another update? If so, that seems awfully quick.

My guess: some people were fooled by the 2.6 GHz MacBook (likely) typo and got a bit confused. They also noticed the MBP ad advertising 2.6 GHz and multi-touch without realizing that it's nothing new. In the heat of their excitement, Apple's MBP and store pages of course confirmed all of it (as they have since February), so the confused folks started posting about it. Other sites picked up on it without thinking, and boom: viral misinformation.

After waiting and waiting and waiting for new MBP's earlier this year (and checking multiple forum thread incessantly), I vote that this thread become a permanent fixture on the forums.

Make it a sticky - and for all the people waiting impatiently for the next-gen MBP's, they have to post to this thread once a day.

One of the links points to the UK Apple Site was Apple's site updated for the UK just today.?.?.

Does not sound Appleish to me!

People just don't catch on very fast i guess. lol

Strange little page 2 story.

It was odd though; I'm not sure where it originated, but the first place I saw it was Gizmodo, and it was definitely bizarre....... since it treated it as "news" that the MBP's now had multitouch, and mentioned a 16" model.

Gizmodo didn't say the story came from anywhere else, which makes me think they are the originator of it. As near as I can figure, it was just some accidental posting of an old story or something like that.

I'm enjoying it though. Can't they check a little more before committing to a story? :rolleyes:

Nice to see you back Zadillo. ;)
