3. Slashgear excitedly jumped on the rumor, announcing, "It's time for some air, baby," while Engadget mocked the name "MacBook Air."
4. An Apple insider leaked some details to Wired, including that the ultraportable, super-thin new laptop "has an extremely thin profile and is shaped like a teardrop when closed."
