There is word afoot that SP-2 does something we wouldn’t like. Although Microsoft insists that it’s a security measure, SP-2 is said to limit the number of TCP/IP open connections. Not a serious issue, you think? Well, think again. How do you suppose all those programs that work to accelerate your downloads do their magic? Yep- they open multiple TCP/IP pipes to one or more Internet locations and download your files in what seems like…

Rumor Of The Day: New iSights

Rumor Of The Day: New iSights 09/13/2004 10:44 AM
O'Grady's PowerPage: Details are sketchy, but one can assume that the new iSight camera will have more features to better work with the H.264/AVC video technology coming in Mac OS 10.4.
In related news, Apple is also secretly working on successors to the PowerBook, iBook, Power Mac, and iMac. Some will have modest upgrades, while others will be more "exciting." Apple intends to release new versions some time in the future, on a date which we have yet to be confirm. :-)

OTC Rumor List 06/08/2004 02:35 AM
Our friends over at TheJawa.com have uncovered a new rumor list of potential new Original Trilogy Collection toys we may (or may not) see in the future. Many of these items have been rumored for the Saga line in the past, and there's a good mix of new/rehashed toys. As always, nothing is official yet, although I can confirm at least one item on the list...and no, I'm telling which one.

Rumor Mill: EvDO in NYC?

Rumor Mill: EvDO in NYC? 08/27/2004 01:30 PM
Rumors are flying that Verizon is in the midst of building out EvDO in New York City: NYC will serve as a crucial example of how the higher-speed mobile data networks compete next to Wi-Fi. Both networks have upsides in the city. Wi-Fi is higher speed, lower cost, and available in many places. EvDO will be lower speed, higher cost, but available in more places (although cellular coverage is notoriously bad in the city). At the end of the day, there's a niche for both networks and if the price is right, enough customers for both....

Rumor Today: More Than The iMac?

Rumor Today: More Than The iMac? 08/27/2004 02:03 PM
Everybody knows that Apple will be unveiling the brand new iMac G5 next week at Apple Expo Paris. (Apple better be, after their earlier announcement about the discontinuation of the current iMac G4.)
But, AppleInsider is saying that there will be more products being launched too. (I hope it's more than just the expected iSight update.)

Rumor Today: AppleWorks X

Rumor Today: AppleWorks X 08/05/2004 06:05 PM
The source of the rumor? A listing for an upcoming book entitled "Ap pleWorks X for Mac OS X: A Visual Quickstart Guide."
I hope what this means is that Apple, in addition to Keynote, has now a word processing and a spreadsheet application. And AppleWorks X is a suite consisting of all these applications, plus, perhaps with a version of FileMaker Pro.
And, hopefully, like the current AppleWorks/ClarisWorks, the entire suite is also available for Windows.
One can dream, can't I?

The Atari Landfill Rumor

The Atari Landfill Rumor 03/22/2005 04:31 PM

Five Million E.T. Pieces: I missed this link in my prior post about The Video Game Crash of 1983. It's a great look at what happened to Atari in the early 80's. It ends by confirming the rumor that millions of game cartridges ended up in a landfill somewhere.

[...] Atari, stuck with millions of games and consoles that were largely unsellable at any price, sent fourteen truckloads of merchandise from their plant in El Paso, Texas, to be dumped in a city landfill in Alamogordo, New Mexico in late September 1983. In order to keep the site from being looted, steamrollers crushed and flattened the games, and a concrete slab was poured over the remains.

Why would someone "loot" old E.T. cartridges? I think Atari was just afraid of a picture of all those cartridges ending up in a newspaper somewhere.

Ever since 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.

What do you say? Will 2004 be "The Year of the Tablet"? Sound off in our web poll!

What has it been now a couple of years since the original iPod was released and people are still running around saying that there is going to be this device or that device that will knock the iPod off it's pedestal.

Rumor Mill Keeps Turning 06/22/2005 02:12 AM

All eyes are going to be on Seattle this coming week as I received a phone call today from a listener who filled me in on some information that he had received. Expect some very HUGE announcements, to happen during Gnomedex from at least two companies.

I have the story already written minus some details if I can get a cross confirmation from another source I am debating on saying anything because that would spoil some of the fun. I would also hate to have a lawyer come after me for breaking this so it will have to wait for now.

In what appears to be a major change in direction for Apple, the displays will exclusively use a digital visual interface (DVI) connector and will not come with Apple's proprietary Apple Display Connector (ADC).

RUMOR: Apple office software seems
likely

RUMOR: Apple office software seems
likely 01/05/2005 02:07 PM
A 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.

Not a Rumor: Apple Upgrades Xserve G5 01/04/2005 11:02 AM
With 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.
