We can still try and put more pressure on Apple to have an official netbook from them. Go to http://macbookair10.net/, check out our proposal, sign our petition and spread the word. The more people we can gather, the more pressure on Apple.

Wow, aren’t you a real douchenugget? If it’s so easy why don’t you link us to your brilliant Apple blog?

Headline implies hardware is not real. Story says the photos are fakes. The two (hardware and photos) are not mutually dependent.

Is the author trying to say that Apple is definitely NOT coming out with a sub-notebook/tablet device? That seems a little presumptuous. How do you prove a negative? If we’re just talking about the mock-up photos being fake, the headline is a bit misleading.

Usualy I would be one to agree with you but these photos are sure fooling me and the form factor seems quite likely to me. I think your input that these are fake are more unfunded then saying that they are in this case just because everything that you see is plausible not seeing the magsafe doesnt mean its not there the angles are quite limited. the microphone is clearly there. and everything else seems in proper place. all agree that the macbook mini looks a bit odd but i wouldnt go as far as saying badly rendered. I think your extrimist opinion is just based on likelyness of circumstances more then it is based on actual facts that you have as to portray that it is fake

The microphone is one the far left, opposite the power button.

Gazoobee: I apologize that the article wasn’t long enough for you. Next time we’ll be sure to double the length of everything we write to fit your formula for a perfect article.

Side note: might want to back off the sensationalism a bit. :)

This is the worst “article” I’ve seen in a while.

Three paragraphs? Seriously?

And the first paragraph is just the set up?
And *both* the first two “paragraphs” are each a *single* sentence?

You’ve got to be joking. This effort would only get you 2 out of 10 in a “My First Essay” class in Grade 5. Your topic sentence is in the wrong place, and you haven’t got a single grammatically correct sentence in the whole thing.

Someone please hire me to write for this rag, it seems they are hiring elementary school kids as it is. I’m sure I could write better than this drunk.

Five sentences (inexpertly) slapped together is not an “article,” it’s not an argument, it’s not even a properly expressed opinion. Half the people commenting on the AppleBlog can write better stuff than this.

9to5mac.com thrives on false rumors. Must generate ok ad revenue though.
