Migration Assistant and the new Macbooks

I don’t know the answer to this question. Since Migration Assistant needs you to connect to your old Mac via Firewire, how do you use it to migrate from one of the new Macbooks, which don’t have Firewire?

Edit Over Ethernet or Wireless, of course! Migration Assistant has been updated on the new Macbooks and Macbook Pros.

Software Update for yet-unreleased computers!

OK, it’s only mildly amusing, but one of the first thing owners of the new Macbooks and Macbook Pros will see is a Software Update.

A mere six hours after they were announced, and probably a good twelve before they’re available in the shops, Apple have released a Macbook, Macbook Pro Software Update 1.2, improving compatibility with external displays and “including other software fixes”.

Version 1.2 already though? That, given Apple’s numbering scheme, is the third update for machines that haven’t been released yet!

Thoughts on today’s new Macbooks and Cinema Display

The new Macbook Pros announced today from Apple are, in the main, evolutionary rather than revolutionary in terms of the business environment – slightly faster CPUs, larger hard disks, multitouch trackpad technology from the Macbook Air, better casing – none of these are going to require across-the-board upgrades. However, two things in particular stand out.
