We've known this was coming for a while. Fake Steve and John Gruber are blogbitching each other about it.

I 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.

#7Check the buyer's guide. Probably an update to the Mac lineup.

Because Apple hardware launches qualify as news that Hackers enjoy.

Well, 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.
