It's a long tradition that someone overhears a conversation between Apple employees at a Cupertino bar, or has drinks with an Apple employee who knows the big secret and shares it with this friend. It's always mind-blowing stuff and it always turns out to be something like the Wonder Mouse or some similar crap. Whenever someone really DOES know the truth it's ignored by the "old timers" because they've seen so many fakes over the years. Still, it's fun.
It's like telling ghost stories around the campfire. |

What exactly is "S*TH"? Is "Sith" a swearword? Better tell George Lucas.

For some reason I believe the poster. Obviously it's pretty easy to throw some vague shit out there just before a keynote but I really think this is Steve's last big One More Thing. He's always said he has one more big one in him before he's done.
Of course, Steve could get up there and announce and especially lame Year of.... tomorrow. Though I can't imagine it could be worse than the Year of HD. |

Since it's obviously impossible to "believe" everyone who's ever claimed to overheard an apple employee, I will stake my rep on it. I did have drinks with my friend, i didn't overhear something, and I used to be an Apple employee for quite a few years. My friend of 10 years wouldn't lie to me.
That said. If they keynote doesn't have something that is mindblowing, or any mod doesn't feel that I've lived up to my end of the bargin I agree to a total ban, on the condition that I get a day or so to respond and apologize for being soooo wrong. That said I'll also donate $500 to whatever charity the admin of the forums deems worthy if my information is in anyway faulty. |

T, ftfy
At least she's putting her money where her mouth is - figuratively and literally. That's way more than most around here. I'm thereby inclined to believe there is something behind the claims. That being said, my 3rd child is due tomorrow, so that could blow whatever Steve says out of the water in my mind anyhow. Do you know where children get all of their energy? - They suck it right out of their parents! |
