Google AdSense confirms new Apple iMac, Mac mini and MacBook?

Nothing can make the excitement of a rumor die down faster than talking more about that rumor itself, so that’s not what we’re delivering to you today. News about more iMac, Mac mini and MacBook have been speculating around the Internet lately, but apparently, someone spotted an advertisement on Google AdSense from Netherlands which translates to:

“Apple's Newest MacBook. Thinner, lighter and faster! Free delivery. Order today.",
"The Brand new iMac. Ultra Thin 20 & 24 inch models. From only €1099. Apple Store," , and
"Apple's New Mac mini. Faster and more affordable than ever. From only € 499. Order immediately."”

You may call this a rumor, but we call it a little something to confirm that more Mac products are indeed on their way, to Netherlands at least.

HP Mini 311 with ION benchmarked

We've already seen the NVIDIA ION-based HP Mini 311 perform impressively during demos, but now that the netbook is hitting reviewers it's time for some real benchmarks -- and according to the crew at Laptop, they're more than solid. The 311 scored a 1,917 on the PCMark 05 test, almost 500 points above the average netbook, and put up a scorching 1,386 in the 3DMark06 test -- 1,200 points over the netbook average, and basically the same score as a MacBook Air. That's not too surprising, seeing as ION is just a netbook-oriented variant of the GeForce 9400M, but it's still rather impressive -- and combined with 1080p video playback, the potential for some light gaming, and (eventually) ION-accelerated Flash, we'd say the Mini 311 is looking like a real contender.
