To Be Announced?

[WannabeSQ]

since this is a rumor site and all, what should we speculate the "to be announced" forum is about? I personally have no idea.

[Wardofsky]

And you won't until it is announced.
Only arn and the mods know.

And their lips are sealed.

[Kwyjibo]

I'm sure we will all love whatever arn will do...good luck can't wait to see whatever your planning...can't you drop us a hint arn?

And their lips are sealed. apple employees' lips are supposed to be sealed too, but we seem to find out a good bit...

Come on - think about it.....if you had a project in the works you'd want it to be ready before you showed people, right? Just saying you have something or plan something isn't as good as actually having it there, ready to go. :D

Either that or Arn would just delete the spilt "beans".
Well, I like suprises.

Bring it on tobeannounced!

good call... ;)

but enough about it...don't want jello to come in & give us crap for talking secrets...

[Sun Baked]

Well, at least they haven't locked the thread and continued to talk about it...

Not like they'd ever do something like that again.

[wdlove]

I'm willing to be patient. It's bound to be great. All the hype is bound to encourage speculation!

oh come on...it was a joke first off...

and it had a purpose to bring something up to point in the community...

get over it... ;)

[G4scott]

Lets start up a MacRumorsRumors site, where only certain people will have access to the good dirt, and the rest will be left to what shreds of information we throw out.

Then, others will start MacRumorsRumorsRumors.com, where they will have rumors about MacRumorsRumors.com

We can have a never-ending chain of rumor sites!!!

doesnt macrumors.com in essence do that? :) report on news from other websites? quite frequently I see posts on the main page: "....MacOSrumors reported today that..."

I'll agree with your concept but not your example...especially on the front page.
Arn has a select list of rumor siteds like thinksecret and spymac sometimes which get places on the main page but definatley not macosrumors.com...they are lucky to make page 2

Who is MacBytes? (http://forums.macrumors.com/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=19193)

That member is an administrator and has a thread in that section, www.macbytes.com doesn't tell you much though, if in fact they're even related..

yeah...I saw that MacBytes had posted in the tba forum, and then I saw that he is an administrator. I guess we will wait and see. :)

[Freg3000]

I stumbled upon this a few days ago and thought I caught Arn updating the site. I got really excited and asked the people in the IRC channel what it was going to be. I just got some cryptic responses. :)

I hope it is good. All the mods wouldn't let us get hyped up if it wasn't good? Right?

[Royal Pineapple]

wow this is getting out of hand, any excitement is good excitement post WWDC i guess, there isnt much hapining in the mac world, i just cnat wait till this thing goes public and it tunres out not to bee that big of a deal :D, im sure it will be cool but nothing on the par with the hype of a new apple announcement

[G4scott]

Do you ever feel as if you're at the end of some sort of sick joke?

It was more of a joke, really. Kind of poking fun at the whole situation. :)

Cruel and unsual...cruel and unsual...man you guys are horrible ;)

[tazo]

I have searched over every search engine for macbytes, macbyte, macrumors+macbyte. Whatever is going on they have hidden it well.

The closest I thought I got was a user named macbytes on another forum :(

Like you know ;)

This has got to be the hottest rumor this month, no one cares about Apple, it's all what's happening at MR that matters.

I have intercepted Private Messages;
It was encrypted so this is what I've got so far.
to 8f7da93jhc89 be 122-*kk announced.

[solvs]

"MacBytes: tests" on the main page. Couple of times, under Other Mac Topics.

Rumors sites having rumors about rumor sites...

Interesting. When does Arn sleep?

Yeah, I already asked myself, what was going on, as I could't get into these threads. Now it's at least getting a bit more obvious. Still wondering, what it's all about...:confused:

[Wardofsky]

Heh, I found out all about it.
This identifies some new information that has been circling these forums.

And one would think this was an announcement by Apple! :eek: :D ;)

Seriously, patience is a virtue. We ALL have to wait to see what's going to happen. ;)

Um, unless you're looking at something different - there is no real info at that site - not even in the source of the page. What did you *find*?

[job]

anyone remember macapps.com (http://www.macapps.com/)?

this 'macbytes' may be an interesting side project from arn. whatever it is, i'm sure it's following the immortal words of 3d realms: "it'll be done when it's done."

I'm sure that when it is fully ready arn will release his pride and joy. Probably the mods are testing it first! :)

I payed to get into the private forums, surely that counts.

Aqua was just my thing...

This has turned way off the topic but, meh.

[Wardofsky]

Don't know where that artwork may be but the caped mysterious MacBytes has struck again.

I'm sure arn (and most probably the mods) are just playing with our minds.

[Durandal7]

My guess would be a more mainstream Apple news site, as in news "bytes."

arn seems to be branching out. Perhaps in the future we may even see chaosmint rise like the phoenix from it's ashes in the harsh rising sun of the Yucatan.

MacBytes has finally shown itself outside of the tobeannounced forum, as seen in this thread (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?threadid=31625).

[edit: I did a search and saw that it has posted a few other times as well...sorry if you guys were already aware of this]

I removed the post in that other thread as it was off topic.

you can keep the discussions ongoing here though.
