Apple Accidentally Leaks 'MacBook Neo' (www.macrumors.com)

Apple appears to have prematurely revealed the name of its rumored lower-cost MacBook model, which is expected to be announced this Wednesday. A regulatory document for a "MacBook Neo" (Model A3404) has appeared on Apple's website. Unfortunately, there are no further details or images available yet. While the PDF file does not contain the "MacBook Neo" name, it briefly appeared in a link on Apple's regulatory website for EU compliance purposes.

Know how I know? Because if there was a big market for a phone with a 3.5 jack, someone would be making it, and lots of people would be buying it.

that's not how it works, so I'd argue you don't know... as Jobs said, he'll tell you what you want.

Jobs is dead, had been dead for 5 years when apple removed the 3.5 jack, and was never in charge of the myriad other phone manufacturers who also removed their 3.5 jacks. I'm not sure he's as relevant here as you're implying.

Anyway, as an adult, "company made a product that isn't catered to my specific preferences" is well below my threshold for outrage. I actually can't imagine living like that. It must be horrible.
