That I was secretly dating Jennifer Aniston while she was filming "The Breakup" in Chicago.

Oh, and the pending release of Vista.

PB G5. It's just not funny to me anymore and it's the only one I'm 99% sure will never happen. I think all of the others will happen at some point, eventually. Though I think the tablet won't happen for quite a long while

Just about anything they put up on MacOSRumors.com!!

Having said that... they are very, very entertaining.

The touchscreen video iPod most definitely! Like a week after the 5G release we began to hear rumors. :eek:

Why no option for "Rumor Willis"?

I've also heard enough of Fleetwood Mac's "Rumors" to last me a lifetime.

Powerbook G5 is no rumor.

Wait 'till Tuesday ;)

I'll need to ruminate on this one for a while before I make my choice...

iTablet.

We all know there won't be any G5 PowerBooks. They'll be MacBook Pro's:p

iPhone.



That said, I am still bummed that Apple never released a PowerBook G5. I use to want to buy one so badly (but now I have my MacBook Pro :) ).

Definitely the PowerBook G5.

It's the only rumor that is continually brought up that we all know isn't going to happen ...ever.

Oh, and the pending release of Vista.


Which we know to be the most unlikely to be released rumor ever known to mankind. ;) :D

most tired of: iPhone - Oh for the love of a biscut will ppl please just sing along with their bleeping ipods and give it a rest for a month or two? :mad: I might have been holding that one in for too long.

Vista, the only vista we are likely to see from MS is the one outside Bill's office "window."

No, it will never be released, but secretly, we all wanted it to be. ;)

Last year, pre-WWDC, I was most tired of the Powerbook G5

Now, it's the darned phone. I just don't care any more!

Yes, thank you. And *slight shout* thank you too, iGary!

It'd have to be the Video iPod for me. All those threads a while back just go ton my nerves because there was a such a lack of evidence and annoying speculation.

I voted for iTablet just because it is the closest to an Apple PDA, which is a repulsive idea to me.

Rumors??! oooh... I forgot about those.

The non-forum aspect of MacRumors had been completely forgotten until 2 minutes ago... :rolleyes:
But how could anyone bash PowerBook G5s? It's on par with one-liners such as "your momma" and "i know you are but what am i". The ultimate response to stupid questions...
And you people call yourselves fanboys! :eek:

I can't stand the PowerBook G5's anymore...

...maybe when it was a slight possibility. But now? Honestly?

eeesh...:o :rolleyes:

I voted for iPhone too. Mostly just cuz I'm getting sick of the bickering about handsets and the people calling me a sheep because I have a RAZR and other associated nastiness involved in dicussing the cell industry on MR... :rolleyes:

defiantly the touch screen iPod, it's like nails on a chalkboard whenever some one refers to it as the "actual video iPod" as if the current video iPod isn't real or something.

I agree, the current iPod 5G, contrary to popular public misperception, actually does play something called v-i-d-e-o. :rolleyes: :)

At this point, any asshat who posts "Powerbook G5 Next Tuesday!!!111one!!" should be banned for a week.

It isn't a rumor anymore and the 'joke' is so lame. :rolleyes:

The iTablet.

Please people...there is no mass market for this.

Any rumor that states, "Next Tuesday".

Any rumor that states, "A credible source", with out noting why the source is creditable.

Agreed.

touch screen ipod, for sure. The powerbook G5 shouldn't even be on the list, as it hasn't been a rumor since apple announced the intel switch about a year ago. The iphone and itablet might both be cool products, so I don't mind those rumors, but a touch screen ipod... ugh, why?

Ditto that.

If they do make an iPhone, it'll be ridiculously expensive...
