On today’s edition of NPR’s Fresh Air (which also publishes a podcast on iTunes), Larry Wilmore, who is The Daily Show’s “Senior Black Correspondent,” in addition to creating The Bernie Mac Show, writing for The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, and guest producing on The Office (and appearing in one episode as a “diversity coach”) is interviewed by Terry Gross. It’s a really interesting interview with discussions on blacks in television and other topics, in addition to hearing something serious from a really funny Daily Show correspondent.

Apple product release rumor roundout

As I’ve said before “When the Apple Store’s down, new products are in town.” So, here are the possibilities of what will hopefully emerge from store.apple.com at 9, assuming that this isn’t just normal maintenance:

Brushed metal iMacs (eww!)
The new Back to School promo, which allows college students (which excludes me,a s I get stuff from my dad’s college professor account) to get a free iPod Nano (or $199 towards a more expensive iPod, but no iPhone) with a new Mac purchase.
Updated MacBook Pros, with possibilities of upgraded specs and a LED display.

UPDATE: New MacBook Pros are out!
