New MacBook Air is slower than Older Model

The new MacBook Air obtained processor speed bumps as well as a price drop by $300-$700. Although there was a clock speed increase, Macworld found that the new MacBook Air happens to be slower than the original.

“What’s weird about the new high-end MacBook Air model is that although it cost dramatically less than its immediate predecessor, it was also slower than that model. The late-2008 1.86GHz MacBook Air was faster than the new top-of-the-line model in 11 of our 18 tests, and as a result, the old system’s final Speedmark score was slightly higher. The low-end 1.86GHz model did a better job versus its predecessor, besting it on most tests and improving on its Speedmark score.”

If while looking for a new laptop you want one that is light weight and a small size, then the MacBook Air is still the computer for you.

Porn on Apple App Store

Just after the first iPhone app was released containing nudity, it was quickly removed from the store. While the developer of this app does say that he voluntarily removed the app, it appears that Apple may have forced it to be removed. Apple PR said to CNN that Apple will not distribute “porn” or any other inappropriate content.

“Apple will not distribute applications that contain inappropriate content, such as pornography. The developer of this application added inappropriate content directly from their server after the application had been approved and distributed, and after the developer had subsequently been asked to remove some offensive content. This was a direct violation of the terms of the iPhone Developer Program. The application is no longer available on the App Store.”
