Apple’s new Apple TV that was launched last year didn’t actually sail smoothly, as it was being haunted with a few small issues just like the iPhone 4. There’s the screen flickering from some owners using a HDMI to DVI adapter for their Apple TV. This might be a small issue and only happens when using the adapter, but now an Apple rep has confirmed on the company’s support forums that Apple is indeed “aware of this issue and working on a fix.” No more details than that at the moment, but it seems like you can rest assured that Apple won’t be leaving you behind just because your TV doesn’t have an HDMI port. Then again, a 32-inch TV with HDMI port is bloody cheap these days, although most of them don’t support 1080P but so does the Apple TV anyway.

Apple has given an update to their Apple TV’s firmware, which purportedly solves “an issue that causes some high-definition TVs to incorrectly display at 480p,” as well as an issue that “may cause a movie or TV show to be re-downloaded.” Apple also ‘tried’ to correct a nagging colour/banding problem with their Apple TV in this update, but users have reported on Apple Insider’s forum that some of them still face the same problem, though most of them are using HDMI-to-DVI adapters. Well, all these are more important and critical updates in contrast to enabling 1080P, but there’s no harm in letting me dream of that right?

All these while, we see Apple’s MacBooks running on Intel’s discreet graphics solutions, and current “Pro” versions still runs on Nvidia’s trusty GeForce. While the 13-inch models operate with an MCP, the 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pro line gets discrete Nvidia switchable graphics that are called into use when the integrated Intel HD graphics aren’t enough. But that’s about to change. Cnet reported that Apple might be divorcing with Nvidia very soon.

Here’s a wooden case to prot… wait… to hold your MacBook. Yes, that’s more like it. To protect? No, I don’t think a wooden case can actually protect your MacBook. Looks classy and fashionable yet but to carry around as a case? I just don’t fancy carrying something that hard around. But Blackbox proved me wrong.

These Blackbox Wooden Macbook Pro Cases might look very beautiful and luxurious, but they only weighs 1.5 pounds and can withstand weight of up to 60 pounds on top without crushing your notebook. Well, if you’re into wooden fashion, then this Blackbox Wooden Macbook Pro Cases will surely entice your flavour, with a price of USD129. Handcrafted in Golden Colorado and each case is hand oiled, hand sanded and lined with felt for protection.

Not quite sure why this service is offered. I mean, who would not love the MacBooks’ silver colour aluminium unibody which looks so classy? Makes it stands out from all those plastic colour notebooks. But then again this world is so huge that we cannot possibly please everyone’s taste of fashion and style. Probably there’s the need of being outstanding and individualistic. Yes, you need your very own status symbol hardware.

This is where Colorware enters. They’re asking for $1,850 (the minimum mind you) in exchange for a MacBook Air made in 2010 (yes the latest one), exactly to your chromatic specifications. Come on, we can mock and we can decry the price, but if this were ever within the disposable income portion of your budget, wouldn’t you jump at the opportunity? Alas, there’s no option for repainting an Air if you’ve already bought one, so whether you want the 11.6-inch or 13-inch version, you’ll have to buy it directly from Colorware. Yes, it’s available for both the 11.6-inch and the 13-inch. So hurry up and go make yourself occupied by playing around with the near-countless customization offered by Colorware.

If you go to Apple’s homepage now, you’ll see this new splash screen teasing an “exciting announcement from iTunes”. Not sure what’s it about, but surely it’s related to iTunes and the stores. However, Apple didn’t throw at conference to any bloggers and reporters, so it shouldn’t be something really big, like a new white phone. But if you look at a report from Wall Street Journal, there’s news that might be related to this. Read more…

And what’s new here? Support for iOS 4.2 of kush! But then again, iOS 4.2 is delayed so perhaps you have some more time to wait. iTunes 10.1 also supports video AirPlay feature to play along with your spanking new AppleTV.
