There were few surprises from Apple yesterday — MacBooks were in the cards, and MacBooks are what we got — and the jury’s still out on whether these new laptops are exactly what the market needs right now, but there’s no denying that Apple’s pretty proud of its new all-aluminum lineup. We’ll have a full review of the laptops shortly, but in case you missed anything, here’s a look back at the mayhem.

GigaOm’s Om Malik and Mashable’s Pete Cashmore like to present themselves as leaders of a new kind of Web 2.0 journalism. Both turned up at Current TV’s offices Friday, ostensibly to cover Current’s Twitter-enhanced coverage of the first Presidential debate. Truth is, Current’s publicists had called reporters to tip us off that executive chairman of the board Al Gore would be there. Gore didn’t bother to use Twitter himself — he didn’t even stick around for the debate. But he did take time to pose for photos.

Malik and Cashmore, perhaps taking a cue, didn’t do any real reporting on the event, leaving that to Threat Level and Laughing Squid. The two simply blogged their Al-and-me pictures as news stories on GigaOm and Mashable, bringing themselves one step closer to the old media stereotype of the vain reporter who can’t stop inserting himself into the story — or in this case, into the non-story.

Just a reminder, we’re going to be at the Android and T-Mobile event tomorrow morning, so be sure and set your alarms. You can (finally) expect the big unveil of the first commercially available Android device (we don’t want to ruin it, but it’s going to be the G1 — or Dream as we used to call it). We wanted to give you another heads up so you’ll know where and when it’s going down. Pertinent info below.
