Hot on the heels of those leaked specs for Apple’s upcoming MacBook Airs and Mac minis, the Apple Online Store has gone down around the world, sparking speculation that these new machines will launch today, alongside OS X Lion as expected.
Apple confirmed that OS X Lion would launch in the Mac App Store today in its quarterly earnings conference call yesterday. However, rumors surrounding its release have also claimed that new hardware would accompany the OS, specifically new MacBook Airs and possibly new MacBooks, Mac minis and Mac Pros.
We now have the specifications for the new MacBook Air and Mac mini lineups, which seemingly could be available later on today when Lion goes live.
Unless, of course, Apple has taken the store down simply to add links to Lion in the Mac App Store, but would this really be necessary?

Can you get repetitive strain injury from constantly performing the refresh gesture on a multi-touch trackpad?
Ooouchhhh
how do you refresh with the trackpad?
http://www.jitouch.com/index.p… Get it. It’s absolutely fantastic. Works with the magic mouse too. Apple really should add a few of these features. I much prefer native gestures, but this is as good as it gets for now.

Chris. I think I speak for all of us when I say: Take your shameful self advertising elsewhere, because no one here cares for it. Please.
