Upon joining the Cult of Mac, a technological evangelist must speculate about the new weird and wonderful products Apple will be releasing at the next MacWorld.
These are some of the best apple rumours (and the stories behind them) which have pervaded the internet since the company was founded.
Apple to Buy Nintendo - A long-running rumour that surfaces roughly every eight months. The motive behind this story is often nothing more sophisticated than the fact that both Apple and Nintendo have exceptionally faithful fan bases. The temptation to stir both camps into action, bickering over the same rumour, is apparently too much to resist.
The Secret OSX Build - After the launch of OSX, the rumour mill worked itself up over the possibility that Apple was secretly maintaining an Intel version of OSX in a basement room in Cupertino. Because OSX was based on the NeXT OS, and the NeXT OS ran on Intel hardware, it didn’t seem impossible that Apple would have evolved the Intel version alongside the public PowerPC version.
Widescreen Video iPod - Officially the most mocked-up device after the iPhone, the widescreen video iPod does seem like a viable product. Apple has reportedly filed patents on a touch-screen user interface that covers the entire surface of an iPod, leading many to suspect that a future model will feature an LCD across its front surface.
