Virtual Instrument : KIM sampled instrument in EXS24 format - macmusicSoniccouture have released their very popular KIM sampled instrument in EXS24 format. The Kim is a type of dulcimer or zither from Thailand, and is related to the Chinese yangqin. It is sometimes spelled khim. It consists of a flat soundbox with 42 wire strings stretched across in 14 sets of 3. The courses are struck with two thin bamboo mallets with soft leather tips. The Kim was sampled at 24-bit /44.1 and contains 184 MB - 137 separate unlooped samples. Each note was sampled individually with 4 velocity layers, twice, to give an extremely natural, expressive response.

Rumor : Ultra-thin 12'' MacBook Pro ? - macmusicMacscoop/MacOSXRumors claims that Apple is finishing development on a 12" MacBook Pro described as "ultra-thin":

"The new laptop should be even thinner and weigh less than the current
models in the MacBook Pro line-up. In spite of this very tiny and lightweight
form-factor, the miniaturized MacBook Pro should keep its built-in optical drive
and sport a dual-core processor, providing unequalled size/performance ratio in
the PC industry, sources told MacScoop."


This "ultra-portable" MacBook Pro is estimated to be priced in the $1700-$1800 range and sport a 12" widescreen display. The introduction of 12" MacBook Pro would fill a gap left by the 12" PowerBook model, which was dropped during the transition to Intel in early 2006.
