After announcing record-breaking earnings yesterday, Apple launched several major new products this morning.
First, Mac OS X Lion is available for purchase from the Mac App Store for just 29 dollars.

As expected, the new ultra-portable laptop run on Intel Sandy Bridge Core i5 and i7 processors starting at 1.6 GHz and customizable up to a 1.8 GHz dual-core processor.
The new MacBook Air also include a Thunderbolt port and they bring back the backlit keyboard.
Also, updated this morning was the Mac Mini which now has improved graphics and also brings
Thunderbolt support as well.
Finally, Apple has updated its cinema displays which are now just called Thunderbolt Display and you guessed it, it support Thunderbolt ports.

The new aggressive pricing target, Sprint which has a similar plans starting at $69.99 a month.
None of the plans have data over its fees and become available on July 24th.
Finally, as hacking and computer security becomes a main stream issues, Google wants to help by letting users know that the computer is may be infected with malware.
When users search on
Google, a malware warning will appear at the top of search results page and Google detects that the computer has been infected.
Google instituted this system after it noticed traffic was being redirected to third party proxy servers.
The issue seems to only affect Windows-based PCs.
Those are your headlines for today.
