sneaky and neat how you got the info, I wonder if this will lead Apple to "plug the leak" by keeping the stuff on their internal test servers more so instead of the public servers....
And as with all of your wise pronouncements, you say this with precisely zero evidence even though it is an extraordinary claim.
Deliberate leaks are a very small PR avenue for any company, even Apple, because contrary to your assertion they generate very little buzz out in the wider world beyond forums. And setting up a deliberate leak by exposing something to a web spider?
Come on. Back it up, or admit that as usual you're just making it up.
If there's no 10.7 I'd absolutely class the invite as misleading, intentionally or not. Big cats = OS X, and here's a new big cat.
If the whole event didn't mention a mac, the invite wouldn't be misleading. It would simply be a lie
Historically, Apple has given the public a preview of the upcoming OS X, yet the final release will be months later. If they do this today, they would be keeping in line with previous behavior.If there's no 10.7 I'd absolutely class the invite as misleading, intentionally or not. Big cats = OS X, and here's a new big cat.

They could easily release new Macs without a new operating system. They have done so in the past, you know.
Why? No one would force you to use the iOS layer, but it could be handy for some of us. There would still be Mac OSX. I think in a small device it would be the best of both worlds, especially if the keyboard could fold back or be removed.
I doubt I'm right--I'm just having fun speculating anyway.
looks like it'll be streamed too

64 bit iLife apps?
A new MBA? If it's good enough I'm going to scale down and get one. I love those things, but they definitely need more ram.
Bring it on!

Lol, no viewing again from the Leopard running iMac. Glad I have an iPhone running iOS 3.1. that can handle the stuff that a desktop mac cannot.
Apple has confirmed it will offer live streaming of its event today.

Good news about the live streaming. So much easier to get the facts than relying on a second hand liveblog.
So it looks like a forum admin has "fixed" the categories to be less revealing now.
They were really lucky to have used a "Reserved 10 20" name for the unannounced product even when they didn't realize others could discover it! This could have resulted in a pretty embarrasing leak otherwise. (after all, the MBA thing was pretty well-known, but not the unannounced iLife 11 product)
Thanks for the heads-up on live streaming from Apple, guys!
