Les writes "Mac insider site Think Secret has its scoop on what Apple CEO Steve Jobs will announce at Macworld Expo in New York next week. The site says that Power Mac G4s won't be updated until August, but we'll instead see a 17" flat-panel iMac and a demo of OS X 10.2 Jaguar."
There goes their ticket to Macworld...

I assume they're "on the list," now.

Macworlds are always ruined by high expectations

The problem with the Mac web is that expectations run much higher than Apple can realistically deliver. So there's always a lot of hype prior to a Macworld and then much dissapointment following. Just look at the iPod: when it launched, the/. discussion was very critical, but now there's an abundance of stories about what a ground breaking product it is. That's ass-backwards if you ask me.
So, I'd like to help make this a better Macworld, and at risk of incurring the wrath of Apple, I'd like to give you my rumor list for what we'll see:
- A return to beige towers and CRT monitors - No more G4s. All Macs will now run on 1st generation G3s - Mac OS 9 will rise from the dead, and Steve will hold a funeral for unix (which is, afterall, dying.... if you believe the trolls around here). - An all new iPod will be 5 times the size and hold upto 7 songs!
There it is. Don't hold your breath, but I think this is what we'll be seeing next week.

"Earlier in the week, Think Secret reported that Apple's iTools web services would be rebranded as ".Mac" Sources have since confirmed the news, and that the name change will be made public at Macworld."
Is ThinkSecret trolling?
-- Saying Java is nice because it works on all OS's is like saying that anal sex is nice because it works on all genders.

Slashdot's first reaction to VMware
I meant the company I work for produces software. My computer does not produce the software on its own.
I'm a code monkey
It's... slightly larger!!
