MacBook Pro Sandy Bridge refresh specs leak: five new SKUs

The Apple Store may still be down, but the details on the new MacBook Pro range has seemingly already emerged. 9 to 5 Mac‘s tipster has sent them the model numbers and specs of five new MacBook Pro SKUs, including two 13-inchers, two 15.4-inch versions and a single 17-inch. The biggest apparently packs Intel’s quad-core 2.2GHz Core i7 processor, along with 4GB of RAM, a 750GB hard-drive and AMD Radeon HD 6750 1GB GPU.


As for the 13.3-inch MBPs, two versions are tipped with 2.3GHz and 2.7GHz processors, 4GB of DDR3 RAM as standard, and 320GB or 500GB of storage. The 15.4-inch machines have either 2.2GHz or 2.7GHz dual-core CPUs, 4GB of DDR3 memory and either 500GB or 750GB of storage, along with AMD Radeon HD 6750 1GB graphics.
There’s also Thunderbolt connectors – using Light Peak technology for up to 10GBs data transfers – and, on the 15- and 17-inch machines, the option of a matte display. All pre-config SKUs are expected to ship within 24hrs, which means you should probably get your credit card ready.

4 Free Apps For Discovering Great Content On the Go

1. StumbleUpon The granddaddy of discovering random cool stuff online, StumbleUpon will celebrate its 10th anniversary later this year — but its mobile app is less than a year old. On the web, its eight million users have spent the last decade recommending (or disliking) millions of webpages with a thumbs up / thumbs down system on a specially installed browser bar. The StumbleUpon engine then passes on recommendations from users whose interests seem similar to yours. Hit the Stumble button and you’ll get a random page that the engine thinks you’ll like. The more you like or dislike its recommendations, the more these random pages will surprise and delight. Device : iPhone , iPad , Android 2. iReddit Reddit is a self-described social news website where users vote for their favorite stories, pictures or posts from other users, then argue vehemently over their meaning in the comments section. In recent years, it has gained readers as its competitor Digg has lost them.

‘Wireless’ humans could backbone new mobile networks

People could form the backbone of powerful new mobile internet networks by carrying wearable sensors. The sensors could create new ultra high bandwidth mobile internet infrastructures and reduce the density of mobile phone base stations.Engineers from Queen’s Institute of Electronics, Communications and Information Technology are working on a new project based on the rapidly developing science of body-centric communications.Social benefits could include vast improvements in mobile gaming and remote healthcare, along with new precision monitoring of athletes and real-time tactical training in team sports, an institute release said.The researchers are investigating how small sensors carried by members of the public, in items such as next generation smartphones, could communicate with each other to create potentially vast body-to-body networks.The new sensors would interact to transmit data, providing ‘anytime, anywhere’ mobile network connectivity.Simon Cotton from the i
