Apple has announced the updated MacBook line. The new models feature faster Core 2 Duo processors (2.0GHz at the low-end and 2.16GHz in the mid- and high-end models), 1GB of RAM standard, and larger hard drives (80GB, 120GB, and 160GB).

The price hasn’t changed, making the 3 models available starting at $1,099, $1,299, and $1,499.

Not one of their best ads, but it does point out flaws in Vista.

I posted this over at BGR, but the offer is good to readers of my site as well. I’ve got 1,000 Joost invites and all you have to do is leave a comment with your email address, and I will send it out to you.Check out the BGR post for more info about Joost, but don’t forget to leave a comment so you can get the invite.

Update: If your invite slipped through the cracks (sorry), or you still want one, you can sign up yourself through an offering from GigaOm, NewTeeVee, and Joost are offering free invites. There is a limited supply of 20,000, so make sure to get signed up quickly before they are all gone. 

Today, on the Google Personalized Homepage, aka Google.com/ig, they have changed the logo to include a lower-case “i.” Sure Google’s Eric Schmidt is on Apple’s Board of Directors, and from what I’ve researched, the “ig” in Google.com/ig has always stood for “I Google.” It’s just strange to see it there like that. Could this be a partnership between the two companies, or just Google trying to make it “more personal.” Typically when there is a new Google logo it is clickable and takes you to a link explaining, this new iGoogle one doesn’t do that.Update: Well today they announced on their blog, that they are changing the name from Google Personalized Page to iGoogle, making it a more personable experience. International users can now use the themes that have become quite popular in the US. Now you can visit iGoogle.com instead of typing out Google.com/ig.
