No, you're linking to a thread about the Mac Pro, not the MacBook Pro. :-)
Expected arrival times for Apple products
121–123 of 123 posts
Whoops, you are correct. The updates to the MacBook Pro are still trivial and no site is considering it to be an major upgrade/update. The Mac Rumors tracking site separates the MacBook Pro and the MacBook Pro Retina for this reason.

#122This site is a rip off of the work that macrumors has been doing for several years. See: http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/ At the very least they should provide a credits link somewhere on their page.
Actually, the entire reason I made this site was because I thought the way MacRumors visualized the data wasn't very good. If they had done a better job, I wouldn't have needed to make this. As for credit... what should I be crediting them for? I'm just collecting a list of dates and then visualizing the data.
A simple link at the bottom saying, "inspired by macrumors.com buyers guide" would go a long way towards giving credit to the original concept. You can even even embed the url, so it's just a small font, "inspired by" to keep the page clean.

#123Eventually 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).
It's called eBay.
