The MacBook Air may be thinnest but it isn't the lightest notebook out there anymore, and its no surprise Apple is looking at ways to claim that title back.

At a little over three pounds, the MacBook Air is light, but not the lightest. There is a rumor that Apple is planning to construct the bottom of the MBA out of the more expensive carbon fiber instead of aluminum to shave a few critical grams. A preproduction MacBook Air was sighted looking exactly the same as a current model, except that the bottom was the black color which is natural to carbon fiber. The new bottom shaved 100 grams off the MBA's total weight, bringing the scales down to a mere 2.78lbs without cutting out any space or features. This is strictly a rumor at this point, but it's clear that Apple is giving this serious thought if they're making working prototypes. Via gizmodo via appleinsider

    Mrs Wang, my philosophy teacher, sent us to sleep less than ten minutes when she started talking in class. When a head nodded, she would point at the dozing student and made threatening remarks. She said that she was bored teaching us. Some students in her eyes had no desire to learn. But the other teacher Mr Li always had bright eyes in a smiling face and encouraging words which showed that he loved Chinese history he was teaching and wanted us to love it too.

      When it came to their attitudes to their students, they were different too. After Mrs Wang finished her day's lessens she felt that she had finished her job. Once when I asked her a question outside class about a term, she continued with preparation to leave and said that I could bring my question to class next week. Before I knew it she had put her keys into her handbag and walked out of the door. In the history class, however, a question even after the bell would still be given attention to by Mr Li. He would rush to the board in a last minute attempt to clear up. Often he was seen with a number of students standing outside the classroom, discussing the day's assignment.
