How has this made it on to the front page of Hacker News?
- yan 17y agoBecause, at the time of this writing, 13 people appreciated it.
- replicatorblog 17y agoI think this is due to a mysterious comment about higher than normal shipping costs that Tim Cook made to analysts yesterday. The suspicion is that this is due to the availability of a major new product and some think this might be THE tablet or something else similarly awesome. Could also just be price breaks on MacBooks, who knows.
- icey 17y agoI'm going to guess it's a refresh of the desktop products (mini, pro, imac). I'd be shocked if it was a tablet release without Steve Jobs announcing it.

- Readmore 17y agoBecause Apple hardware launches qualify as news that Hackers enjoy.
- unalone 17y agoWell, I upvoted it because it looks like a neutral thread that'll have the gonna-happen-no-matter-what Apple conversation held in a neutral light. There's a rumor that the plastic Macbooks are being redesigned, which might mean something ridiculous is coming out—Apple is kind of unpredictable with their ridiculous exciting releases, and the one I thought was coming in September failed to really materialize. I also upvote new Apple product releases because Apple's the best industrial designer on the planet, and because anything that might inspire another Hacker Newsian with a potential delight for the world of industrial design is worth my upvote.
