CNET UK Credits Claim That Apple Will Release Networked TVs

Posted by timothy on from the logical-progression dept.

r2k writes "While the Apple rumours posted yesterday highlight some of the most commonly talked-about opinions, a writer for CNet UK sat down with Mahalo's Jason Calacanis, who told CNet he knew for a fact that Apple is developing fully networked LCD TV sets. As the writer points out, Apple dropped 'Computer' from its company name for a very good reason."

  2. The Apple cycle... by itsdapead · · Score: 5, Funny
    1. Rumours circulate of Apple developing flying cars (iFly) teleportation (iHopeTheresNoFly) and tabletop cold fusion (damn, MacFusion is taken!)
    2. Apple announces press event
    3. Mac fanbois approach orgasm. Badly photoshopped images of imagined products appear and are taken seriously.
    4. More plausible photos of faster Macs with slightly bigger trackpads and new colour options for iPods appear and are dismissed by tumescent fanbois as badly photoshopped fakes.
    5. Apple launches faster Macs with slightly bigger trackpads and new colours of iPods.
    6. MacHaters proclaim the failure to deliver imaginary unannounced products as a sign that Apple is doomed. Fanbois are briefly disappointed, but this is dispelled by the comforting ritual of the unboxing ceremony when their new pink iPod arrives.
    7. Rumours appear that Apple is developing holographic TV (iStrain), faster-than-light wormhole travel (iHole) and an intelligent pop-up toaster that actually works (iWatchTooMuchRedDwarf). Badly photoshopped pictures of perfectly browned bread products appear on macrumors.com...
