Apple's Dev. Tools Hint @ Dual-core G5 & Quad Mac

Eug writes "Apple just released a new version of its CHUD tools, which provides clues about dual-core G5s and quad core Macs (dual dual-core). The clues include a reference to the 970MP, which is dual-core G5 with increased L2 cache. Also, there is now support for 4 CPUs, whereas previous versions of these Mac OS X tools only supported 2. This likely means we'll see dual-core Macs by WWDC, and possibly quad Macs based off these dual-core chips by then too."

I can't help thinking that this is bad timing on Think-Secret's part. To raise your profile by doing (again!)

The reason is that Nick Ciarelli is making beaucoup cash from Think Secret. It has been a cash cow for him.

On the other hand, there's the case that if he's not doing anything wrong, why not continue doing exactly that.

The blog world is having a field day with this case but the reality is that Apple is not trying to limit what blogs report, and they do not consider Think Secret to be a blog site. It is a rumor site that has broken the law by soliciting confidential information and compensating those who choose to divulge confidential proprietary information. Good write up on the reality here.
