Only 106 days until a new Thunderbolt Display! I really hope that it turns into an "Apple TV" announcement.

A successor to Apple's current desktop display is more likely at least 7 months out. Look at the historical data: ignoring the outlier, Apple releases a new screen every 25 months - we're 18 months in. The last update was timed so because Apple switched from Mini DisplayPort to Thunderbolt. http://arrival.io/apple-thunderbolt-display As for Apple releasing a TV screen, I don't see it happening for at least a couple o…

I am interested if there are any news when Google will refresh Nexus 7, I want to get it, but would prefer to wait for newer version.

There were already places that track release times, this page is not neccesary, http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/ comes to mind.

I see others pointed that as well... well I can't remove this post so you will have to endure it presence.

Clean and simple, I like it. I think an about page for new visitors would be good though.

Yeah I was trying to decide whether it needed one or not. So far people seem to be getting it, but I might still add one.

Is this just scraping http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/ ?

My guess is wikipedia. And no it isn't "just scraping". The look is very different and the predicted number of days isn't on the macrumors site.

The text is cut off on http://arrival.io/macbook-pro . http://imgur.com/sBWlJ09

Hmm, what OS, browser, and version are you on?

Mountain Lion + Chrome on a retina MBP.

On FireFox the text is also cut off and the blue bars do not show up: http://imgur.com/CfHWnzJ

Update: Upgrading from Firefox 17 to 19 fixed the issue with the blue bars.

Eventually Apple will sell hardware subscriptions, where you just turn in your old gear and get new stuff every year. (Maybe they can give your old ipods to starving kids or something).

That was my first exact thought as well. The macrumors guide also provides a lot more data for your viewing pleasure.
