I'm skeptical of the claim that the MacBook will only have 10/100 ethernet... with gigabit built into the chipset, Apple would have to intentionally disable it in the driver.

They already do that with VGA desktop spanning support.
That said...
UPDATE: Correction, our Californian spy said the MacBook would have Gigabit Ethernet not 10/100BASE-T. Also an error on Apple's iPod page today made mention of the MacBook. Apple has now restored the page but this is what it looked like...

Remember when the G5 specs leaked way back when. Jobs said on stage it was on purpose to tease us. Now iPod is the most popular part of their site so why make a mistake like that there unless they want to tease us?

Jobs never said it was on purpose to tease us. He said that was one of the possibilities being kicked around by the people who were discussing the specs online. It was just a mistake.

Well the rumour is that the new MacBooks are coming out on Tuesday... I'm looking forward to seeing whether or not I'll be buying one of these or waiting for Merom...

I really don't see how these gaffes can be "mistakes". For a company as big as Apple's, they should have multiple staging servers to make sure something is working fine before it goes live. It is probably just Apple feeding the hype machine.

I'm sure they do have staging servers - but they've also got a hundred localizations of the site, probably hundreds of people working on the site (total), and any number of opportunities for someone to screw up and hit the wrong button. I mean, you've got the hardware product pages, software product pages, store pages, support pages...that's a lot of chances to make the wrong CSS file live early, or whatever.

I call bull-excriment. No way Apple is daft enough to use Intel's crap integrated graphics chipset after the consistent negative reaction it received in the Mac mini. That chipset is *way* inferior than the ATi 9550 in current iBooks.

IMHO, the integrateg graphics is perfectly acceptable.
Most of what Dell is offering in that price range also uses integrated graphics. Also, this system is a low end system. I'll be happy to see a serious CPU in the iBook or MacBook. The current G4 is a joke (and YES, I own a current iBook... and LOVE IT, but it's a little sad when it struggles with iLife apps.)

Dell has nothing to do with Macs and if you think the integrated Intel grapics chipset is perfectly acceptable but you aren't pleased with the current graphics performance in the iBooks...?
The difference between the Intel chipset and the ATi 9200 was somewhat, but could be brushed away if you weren't into any serious 3D performance demanding apps, but the difference between the Intel set and the ATi 9550 is akin to the G3 and G5.
The iBook is not low end in the same sense that the Mac mini is low end.
PS. I have the current iBook too and I wouldn't have bought it if it hadn't had the 9550. It was the absolute lowest end chipset I could justify spending money on in 2006.
