New Macs Might Support Super-Fast Gigabit Wi-Fi

A snippet of code from the latest beta version of OS X Mountain Lion indicates that Apple's upcoming Macs will support the new 802.11ac wireless standard, also called 5G Wi-Fi. The code, which is present in Mountain Lion 10.8.4 beta but not the previous version, 10.8.3, seems to confirm a previous rumor which claimed Apple has struck a deal with Broadcom to include that company's 5G chips in its computers.
