Liquid-cooled PowerBook G5?
It's a rumour, hardly confirmed in any aspect of the concept, but it's a possibility. There's a pretty cool article (pun intended), on the possibility of liquid-cooling in laptops. With the exception of one Hitachi product, liquid cooling has thus far been the realm of geek PC case modders. It would be interesting to see what this other company, Cooligy, can do with their offering.
In other news, advance estimates place a possible introduction of a PowerBook G5 sometime in August. I figure that's somewhat ambitious, since nothing concrete or even vaguely concrete has been said about it aside from the wild speculation of Mac fans that are chomping at the bit for a new breakthrough in PowerBook offerings. Still, I'm starting to save up. I was a first adopter of the Titanium PowerBook and I'll be damned if this machine is "starting to feel slow."
(Actually, it's not. I'm fully aware that it's merely a rationalization for buying a cool new toy, but... it's a cool new toy! That and one of my screen mount bezel's is broken. Then again, that's probably a simple call to Apple to buy a replacement part... or maybe even a walk-in to an Apple store. Who knows. I'll ask if/when a green iPod mini shows up with my name on it.)
