Remember the alleged MacBook Pro prototype sporting a slide-out antenna and SIM card slot? Well, apparently after Apple canceled the bidding on the eBay auction, an auction which topped $70,000, the man in possession of the laptop, Carl Frega, decided to keep it rather than resell it. Today, Frega claims Apple contacted him to send someone to his house to pick it up.
UPDATE: Apple will continue to sell the MacBook to educational institutions through resellers, it appears, but otherwise, it’s RIP.
BREAKING: The Apple is store is flush with new models right now, including a new MacBook Air and a Mac Mini. But look a bit closer, and you’ll see something iconic is missing: the original, plastic, white MacBook.
We’ve just confirmed with Apple that the MacBook line which started it all has now been discontinued. No reason was supplied but it’s not hard to see why it makes business sense: Apple already sells a similarly sized 13-inch MacBook Pro and MacBook Air (both for higher pricetags), while providing a budget OS X option with the Mac Mini.

Apple doesn’t own the idea of using aluminium in gadget designs or creating a phone where the touchscreen is the focus of all your attentions but there’s a certain Cupertino touch that other manufacturers relentlessly attempt to mimic.
We’ve seen it this morning with the unveiling of the Dell XPS 15z which cops a lot of moves from the MacBook Pro – from its aluminium/magnesium alloy shell to the placement of its speakers, the arrows on its backlit keyboard and the positioning of its ports and slot-loading DVD drive. Is it asking to much to expect designers to do something a little different?
Apple is in the process of negotiating with record labels to allow unlimited iTunes downloads to all devices. What it’s not looking for is a streaming service, at least as far as we know. But this would mean that there’s less plugging in and syncing needed across your iPod, iPhone, iPad and computer. Read on for more details.
