So Gizmodo has a post up about Time Capsule and, in typical Gizmodo fashion, they copy and paste the entire press release. Interestingly, it mentions the "new MacBook Air". So Apple leaked the name with less than an hour to go before the official announcement.

I don't think anybody big noticed, but google the press release, and you'll see it, if you're reading this before Jobs makes the announcement.

Off topic, but Gizmodo's live blogging was much better than Engadget's. Better layout, faster response times, etc.

Go Giz!

Yeah, I was surprised by MRL's coverage. Very well done, quick auto-reloads, quick photo uploads...

Engadget's was too messy looking, and their page wasn't set to auto-reload. And when manually reloading, my connection to the site was lost repeatedly.

What was up with MacNN's live coverage? It was pathetic.

I was really disappointed in engadget this time. How can people not anticipate the server loads? We've had enough of these that they should know what to expect by now.
