Interesting News Tid Bit: MacRumors posted a report on Sunday about a Telephonic MacBook Pro prototype. Whether this ever comes to market is unknown at this time, but Apple has been working on this for some time now (see one, two and three) and has even been granted a patent for such a beast. The latest design hides the MacBook antenna internally which sounds like Apple. Time will tell.
