The hardware is simply disco balls and lasers for the 10th anniversary gala.
Yeah you are right. Every quarter they sell more product than previously. They are doomed! RIP

Haha seriously. Not to mention that doesn't take into account iPods and iPads, the latter is selling faster than it can be produced.

Quote of the day. You would be fanned. But all I had was a silly button on the lower right side.

Last year Apple announced its Back to School free iPod touch with a Mac computer purchase on May 25.
Sounds like they are planning a big event for this year. Maybe they are expanding the BTS offer to include a free iPhone with Mac purchase and new/renewed cell contract.
The iPhone is the same value ($199) as the iPod touch from the previous event. This also would fit in well with the rumored fall release of the next generation iPhone, and with this being a US only event.

This could be an interesting point, however the gentleman who proposed that this would also include a free iPad earlier in the thread.... This is about as probable as the rapture on saturday.
Apple has never been big on anniversaries. Other than a homepage update on their 30th, they've never really done much. And I don't forsee them even acknowledging their 10th anniversary for their retail sector. It's kind of an obscure thing to celebrate.
I'm starting to think that the BGR report is just flat out wrong - or an exaggeration at best. Apple's stock was off 2% today, which is fairly significant. It easily could be someone starting a rumor to boost the stock. These types of rumors are not that uncommon. Remember the rumors about Apple purchasing ARM last year? Or Apple potentially purchasing Nintendo a few years ago?
If it were a big product - or even a product update, it wouldn't happen on a Sunday.

They could do that.
I'm also thinking the following are possible:
In any event I wouldn't rule out Lion but the norm here is to release to developers first. However Apple is in the habit of releasing new hardware just prior to WWDC. The timing is right for many updates so it could be anything in my list.
Hardware would seem to be indicated by the need to black out the store.
Wouldn't it be something if this was for the release of Lion, I know they wouldn't, but I'd like to imagine
I'm also thinking the following are possible:
- New Mini
- XMac
- Revamped Mac Pro
- Back to school promotions.
- New Mac Book AIRs with supporting Thunderbolt hardware.

Things are getting intense!
It's very doubtful that it would be hardware, for all you macpro, ipod classic refresh desirers. sorry guys!
Since there is talks of training the employees and no evidence of parts or patents or anything i'd say its gotta be software of some sort.
mobileme, icloud, lion (doubtful but that would be grand)
Maybe its an office party...
I can see this rumor just dissapointing a lot of us, or amazing us.

Nah, Apple is annoucing free insulating leggings for MBP owners who continually buy one and then come here/Genius bar to bitch and moan and bitch and moan about how hot the machine gets. I also hear they may throw in free ear plugs so you do not need to hear the fans and HDD SMS engage to cut down 98 percent of all support calls.
Sounds win/win to me, in fact I hear MacRumors is co-hosting this to help reduce posting traffic on its servers related to heat/fans/noise.
Next they will take on "which *insert prodcut name* should I buy"....

with $100 off of the $999
Actually, the time has come for MacBooks and MacMinis. But the details mentioned in this have nothing to do with hardware.
Stolen Death Star Plans perhaps?
Don't laugh at those poor Apple employees. They are just working hard to put food on the table. Most MS employees are engineers and they have more opportunities.
