Apple Slaps Rumor Site With Lawsuit
Apple Slaps Rumor Site With Lawsuit
01/06/2005 01:50 AMRumor site AppleInsider
got hit with a lawsuit
Wednesday, in the wake of two articles leaking information on what is to
be release
d in the Macworld Expo next week.
The suit, filed Tuesday in the Superior Court of Santa Clara
County, Calif., aims to identify who is leaking the information and to
get an injunction preventing further release of trade secrets.
However, in filing the suit, Apple identifies specific articles that
contain trade secrets, indicating that at least parts of those reports
are on the mark.
Two ways to look at this, I guess; one, that the rumors reported on
AI are dead on, and Apple is wanting to keep its secrets secret. Or
two, (thanks to a Gadgetopia reader/poster) is that the rumors are not true, but Apple is
trying to keep the rumors from raising the public's expectations for
upcoming releases, which ends up hurting Apple's stock prices.
Me? I think that Apple has some hot stuff planned for the Expo, and
the headless iMac is part of it. Why else would they announce a
newer/faster/no-more-expensive Xserve the week before?
I sure wouldn't want to be the guy at Apple leaking this stuff. And
maybe I'll think a little harder about posting the next Apple rumor I
hear about.

Bob
Cringley posted
his November 27th article titled, "Apple's Tablet
Computer Might Finally Be That Link Between Your PC and TV" the
Mac web has been abuzz in renewed Mac tablet/PDA speculation. We've
heard it all before. Pre-MacWorld Expo Tablet Hysteria is as
predictable as Pre-Millennium Armageddon Panic and, historically, just
as likely to be accurate.

Not a Rumor: Apple Upgrades Xserve G5
01/04/2005 11:02 AMWith all the pre-Expo rumoring I felt it necessary to preface this by
saying it comes directly from an Apple press release:
Apple today upgraded its Xserve 1U rack optimized server to deliver
dual 64-bit 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5 processors with over 35 gigaflops of
processing power per system and the industry's fastest front side 1U
server system bus, running at up to 1.15 GHz, providing up to 9.2 GBps
of bandwidth per processor and up to three 400GB drives, achieving a
groundbreaking 1.2TB of hot-plug storage. With configurations starting
at just $2,999, it is the ideal server for everything from file and
print serving to computational clusters.

RUMOR: Apple office software seems
likely
01/05/2005 02:07 PMA small Macintosh software developer has renamed an application it
had been calling iWork, lending credence to rumors that Apple plans to
introduce office software of the same name.
IGG Software, which has marketed a time-billing application as iWork,
has changed the program's name to iBiz. The change, which is reflected
on the company's Web site, follows reports on rumor sites that Apple
plans to offer its own suite of word processing and presentation
software.
Enthusiast site ThinkSecret reported last week that a product from
Apple called iWork would include an updated version of Apple's
presentation software, Keynote, and a new word processing program,
which the site says will be called Pages. The site predicted Apple
would unveil the product at next week's Macworld Expo in San
Francisco. Such a program would be an interesting move for Apple,
which has for years kept its office software ambitions limited,
counting instead on Microsoft to produce a Mac version of Microsoft
Office.
