MacBook Air Unboxing Photos and Wireless Booting
MacRumors has the latest scoop on the MacBook Air. It appears the first unboxing photos come from a remote Macworld Expo presentation in Japan. The pictures show that they received their demonstration MacBook Air in the retail packaging. Because the MacBook Air contains this new technology Apple calls “Remote Disc”, it has the ability to wirelessly boot off of a Remote Disc shared drive. This means that if your MacBook Air requires an emergency boot or fresh reinstall, it can be done without the $99 external SuperDrive - pretty cool. This added functionality required changes in the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) and is not presently available on other Macs.
The MacBook Air will most likely ship with Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.2, the next updated that many have been eagerly awaiting. Leopard is currently still full of minor bugs that can get majorly annoying. The sooner Apple can get this update out, the better. MacRumors have reportedly been told that Mac OS X 10.5.2 will bring wireless booting to all Macs. This means all of us will be able to borrow another computer’s drive - PC or Mac - for booting from disc.

First Pics: iPhone packaging
Update: We have our own unboxing pics, check out the iPhone peep show. As well as our very own iPhone Giveaway!
With fifteen hours before the launch of the most innovative phone to day (yea, I could’ve just said iPhone), pictures are finally starting to leak. These pictures were spotted on Flickr and we have no way of verifying their authenticity. The pictures are of what could be the boxing for the phone, and look like they’ve been shot with a camera phone.
If these do hold up to be true, some Apple employee may be in some hot water. You can check out the rest of the pictures after the jump.
