New iPod TV ad
In brief: Apple has begun airing a new iPod + iTunes TV commercial featuring the same silhouetted dancers as in its previous ads, this time with psychedelic background colors and a 60's-style influence.... The OSx86 Project has put out a call to rally MacBook Pro owners experiencing whining and heat issues, asking them to call Apple Support on May 20th, 2006 and tell them about the problems in an effort to hold the company accountable.... Apple may be planning to unveil a replacement for its 12-inch PowerBook as early as May 9th.... Development of a 13-inch widescreen Apple notebook was completed last month, according to AppleInsider, and the company is awaiting a signal from its marketing division to begin manufacturing ramp and rollout procedures.... Warner Music Group has posted a less-than-expected loss due to rising U.S. CD sales and digital music revenues.

Noisy MBP
I got our first MBP at work a while ago and figured it was new enough to not have the "whine". Apparently it does though but since the last two G4 PowerBooks I had at work made the same noise I didn't think much of it.
