New MacBook Airs Shipping

The new MacBook Air with the NVIDIA graphics chip is now shipping. Here is the details from the MacRumors website:

The new MacBook Air uses the new NVIDIA-chipset which includes the GeForce 9400M graphics processing unit (GPU). This improved GPU hardware should provide much faster graphics performance for Apple’s thinnest laptop. In addition, the new MacBook Air should also see the same improvements in h.264 playback that we’ve seen in the new MacBooks and MacBook Pros. There had been evidence that Apple now supports h.264 hardware accelerated decoding on the GeForce 9400M.

NetFlix Testing Watch Instantly

Finally, months after the announcement, NetFlix has begun testing their “Watch Instantly” for the Mac OS. For the longest time, this feature of the awesome DVD rental/video streaming service was only for those using Windows.. Let’s hope that the official release happens sooner rather than later.

From NetFlix:

Netflix, Inc., the world’s largest online movie rental service, today announced it has begun the deployment of Microsoft Silverlight to enhance the instant watching component of the Netflix service and to allow subscribers for the first time to watch movies and TV episodes instantly on their Intel-based Apple Macintosh computers. The deployment, which will initially touch a small percentage of new Netflix subscribers, is the first step in an anticipated roll-out of the new platform to all Netflix subscribers by the end of the year.
