Not this kind of glass brick...

I was pondering the riddle of the brick today, thinking for a good amount of time: what is it? Is it a wireless USB hub? Is it a mid-sized tower? Is it a tablet? I couldn’t think of what it could be: and then it hit me.

What if the new MacBook’s glass trackpad, which came from the same source as the brick rumor, was the brick? 9 to 5 Mac’s source told them two things: that the new MacBooks will have glass trackpads, and that the event would be “all about the brick“. Connect the dots: the brick and the trackpad are the same thing! Maybe this glass brick could even be removable, and act as a front row remote as well, with a built in screen? More likely not. But whether this brick is removable or not, it makes perfect sense: the glass trackpad is the brick!
