“We’re not in the Apple rumor mill business here at DVD Newsroom. Frankly, I don’t care about the next gen iPods,” Senor Spielbergo reports for DVD Newsroom. “But when it comes to all things Blu-ray, we’re interested [and] when rumors of the iChat Mobile surfaced, our spy contacted his Apple Confidante to talk about that and Blu-ray rumors. The transcript of our spy’s phone call, including talk of Powermacs and WWDC news, is [included the full article.] The spy on this story is a known source and the Apple Confidante’s employment has been verified.”
No iPhone… yet, build-to-order Blu-ray drives in Apple Macs by January 2007, Mac Pros in October/November, strong focus on iChat, “Front Row goes TiVo,” Microsoft’s Zune: “Everyone will love a product with a ½ hour battery life,” “Apple Tablet” rumors, and more, including discussion of Leopard features in the full article here.
MacDailyNews Note: Rumors. Grain of salt and all that.

“‘fibbing’ when they meant “fibbing””
The use of “they” in this way is a very common yet incorrect use of a plural where a singular “he” or “she” should be. Common, I believe, because of social pressure to be more gender neutral, but incorrect nonetheless. TV “news”–yecch!
Irregardless of how it impacts the situation at this point in time…
Huge Ass
ir·re·gard·less P Pronunciation Key (r-gärdls)
adv. Nonstandard
Regardless.
[Probably blend of irrespective, and regardless.]
Usage Note: Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing. Coined in the United States in the early 20th century, it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir- prefix and -less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so.
I personally don’t want to know what’s in the Keynote before hand. It’s like snooping and knowing what’s in your Christmas presents, takes all the fun out of it.
These “insiders” ruin the fun.
-r
wtf?
Likewise, impact is not a verb, and “at this point in time” is what a complete tool says when he or she means “now.”
It was a joke.
Apple publicity stunt?
in looking at quality, Apple’s music store successfully offers a far inferior product compared to music CDs
They lost me right here. This is total bullshit. I’ve downloaded two albums from ITMS, and they sound great, virtual CD quality, and I have high powered a THX approved sound system. Even MP3s I’ve directly compared to their CDs sound very good, with only complex passages sounding a little muddier.
Spare me the speculation on what Apple’s going to do, I’ll just wait for the reality. Meanwhile I have a life to live.
Definate beat-up, complete hoax.
I might venture though, that losing the brushed metal look would be a wonderfully prograde step (unless it was replaced with something even less appealing).
I’ve really been enjoying the grammer debate. It proves that there are some very educated people here, though lazy when it comes to posts. But that’s OK.
Hey, I started a sentence with a preposition!
Hey, I started a sentence with a preposition!
Nope, you started with a non-existing word: “Definate”
And anyway, I think it’s only a problem if you end a sentence with a proposition. It’s something up with which we will not put. <grin>
(And please don’t anyone start giving me more grief about being a “Grammar Nazi”… it was an innocuous, sarcastic off-topic comment about a string of off-topic comments. And this is the last durned ‘pre-apology’ I’m gonna do. So there. <smile>)
Oooooh. Cool! It automatically put an Emoticon in when I typed <smil e>! Gawd how I love computers.
