Cult of Mac discovers the Moon. Apple rumors kill expectations.
This is priceless:
But seriously, Limbaugh does have a point: rumors can tend to kill expectations. It happens every year like clockwork. The rumor mill goes into full swing and basically everything about an upcoming product is leaked. People then start complaining that Apple won’t “surprise” us or make something cool enough.
And yet, 99% of what they publish is rumors.
Cult of Mac discovers the Moon. Apple rumors kill expectations.
This is why I’m late with some stories, and others I completely ignore.
9to5Mac:
Two British tabloids, the Sun and the Daily Mail, reported that actor Bruce Willis was going after Apple’s iTunes to let him pass down purchased media to his heirs. It’s too good a story to pass up…except, according to the actor’s wife, it is not true.
There you go, he’s not suing Apple for the right to include his iTunes purchases in his will. This rumor Died Hard.
This is why I’m late with some stories, and others I completely ignore.
How we screwed (almost) the whole Apple community
Day 4 Blog:
One afternoon we sketched out a screw in our 3D program, a very strange screw where the head was neither a star, tracks, pentalobe or whatever, but a unique form, also very impractical. We rendered the image, put it in an email, sent it to ourselves, took a picture of the screen with the mail and anonymously uploaded the image to the forum Reddit with the text ”A friend took a photo a while ago at that fruit company, they are obviously even creating their own screws ”.
Then we waited …
Less than 12 hours later it had happened. First came Apple blog Cult of Mac, who reported ”Apple May Be Working On A Top Secret Asymmetric Screw To Lock You Out Of Your Devices Forever” and then it just went on. More and more blogs wrote about the alleged leaks from Apple headquarters in Cupertino, USA. Yahoo, Wired and MacWorld jumped on. On Twitter, numerous posts raged about the issue. On YouTube, people made video blogs about the new screw. Google + talked about it page after page. Try it yourself, go to http://www.google.se and search on ”asymmetric screw”.
This is why, as tempting as they are sometimes, I don’t do rumors.
3D Photo renderings of “iPhone 5″ fool Apple rumor sites.
A funny thing happened today, Martin Utrecht at Flickr, posted some 3D renderings of an “iPhone 5″, and many Apple rumor sites ran with it as if it was the real thing. I’m not going to judge or bash anyone, because frankly, I would’ve easily been fooled too. The images look amazingly realistic.
Is this the next iPhone? I hope not.
According to 9to5Mac (you can go there and see more images and a “report”), this is the back side of the next iPhone.
My problem with it is that it’s a two tone iPhone, meaning it has two colors. This is from the same company that could not release an iPhone after almost a year for problems with a white color paint for the glass. The same company from where a Google executive received a call from Steve Jobs one sunday, because the yellow gradient on the font of a Google app wasn’t yellow enough. I may be wrong (wouldn’t be the first nor the last time), but it just doesn’t feel like Apple to do something like this. Time will tell.
Facebook to buy Opera? WTF?
A Facebook browser that would allow you keep up to date with your social life from in-built plug-ins and features on the menu bar could be on the cards. Pocket-lint has heard from one of its trusted sources that the social networking giant is looking to buy Opera Software, the company behind the Opera web browser.
Why?
Supposed leaked parts for 4 inch “Tall” iPod touch.

- MacRumors
Mac Rumors reports that these are the front panels of the next iPod touch, which appears to be taller and not wider than the current model. I really don’t know about this thing.
Sorry, I originally said these parts were for the iPhone, I had a brain fart.
Foxconn denies confirmation of Apple TV. (Lost in Translation)
Foxconn has issued a statement saying that Gou neither confirmed nor speculated about the company’s involvement in the production of any product, adding that it is against the company’s policy to comment on its customers or their products. Foxconn also says that any reports that Foxconn confirmed a specific product for any customer are “not accurate.”
Like I said, there is no way an executive from another company confirms any Apple product (and lives to tell about it). And also, stop calling it the iTV for the love of God, if Apple makes the dam thing it will have another name (unless it is actually called the iTV and then I’ll join the crowd at the Apple is Doomed! camp).
