also, dont forget how 10.3.3 supported that new G5 model. seems we wouldnt have to wait till WWDC for the next revision of 10.3 ... just another thought.
I hope you're being sarcastic, because I doubt Apple would launch a multimillion dollar promotion just to put one over on Arn.Hector said:
Or just an attempt to get us all excited on a slow Sunday afternoon. Lets see, 300 posts in 24 hours. I'd say it worked... Now we're all salivating for anything...

May I ask - does this mean that macrumors' own sources have said that new products are being prepared for release? The reason I ask is that Arn's (or macrumors' - what ever you want to say) own sources have never, to my knowledge, been wrong. I don't know about Appleinsider or any of those other sites, but when macrumors makes its own predictions, based on info from its own independent sources, those predictions are *always* correct or very close to correct.
So Arn, if possible, could you simply clarify whether macrumors' own sources have said new products are coming, or if this is only based on appleinsider's information?
New machines are coming cause it's my birthday!
Tomorrow's my birthday, so new machines HAVE to come out! In preparation, last week, I did the following:
1 Deposited Federal and State income taxes
2 Calculated cash to be received from bonus after taxes
3 Applied for and approved for Apple loan (yay $5000!)
The plan was I was gonna be prepared to SPLURGE for a new machine to replace my overheating 450MHz Cube on my birthday, Tuesday March 30. So we'll see tomorrow what happens. But I have a feeling I'm buying myself a new digital camera instead.

what if
Ok, we know PB wont get a speed bump of switching chips. But this speed bump that will happen to the Power Macs, what do you think of a bump of dual 2 at the low, and dual 3 at the high, and say a dual 2.5 in the middle. Do you think they will do this, just go POW like that. Doesn't seem like Apple, and I say this because they are running low on time before they are suppost to at that 3Ghz range. Or will it be like the Xservers, here they are, but wait about 4 months to get them. I also say this because its the Birthday year, they just might want to go POW, ZAP, SMACK, I'm BATMAN!!!!
We can conclude that something is coming out on Mondays to Wednesday almost every week, or at least there is a pattern it seems. And that is for hardware or software.

It would be cool if we had some type of credability percentage (beyond the page 1 page 2 seperation). This could help set expectations of announcements.
For example (I'm making this up)..."Appleinsider says Steve will introduce a 30" monitor tomorrow" - 30% truth. Maybe it could be based on the source combined with a feasibility factor. Like..."Thinksecret says Steve will introduce x86 OSX tomorrow" - 1% Truth. It's a reliable source, but the likelyhood of that happening is so small the guage is reduced.
Pardon me if this has been suggested or implemented before.

Have you noticed, we don't really know anything!
Could it be that Apple have actually managed to keep stuff quiet for once.
They must be pissing themselves laughing at the rumour sites because we are all hanging on, driving ourselves mad, purely on fact that updates are due about now.
We don't know anything!
We dont like this, precious, we dont.
It hurts us, precious!

MacOSRumors says that a handfull of their sources are claiming powermacs will be updated in a matter of days.
Powerpage is saying that we will see powerbooks in a matter of days.
Could we see and Apple Pro Release Day tomorrow?
I certainly hope so.

Last rumor noting the display promo had everyone saying no new Powermacs for a year. This rumor seems to have turned the opinion around. (Funny how much we sway with rumors). I'm guessing this rumor is wrong and that we will jump to 3 GHz at the end of summer. Maybe we should have a macbets.com where we can place wagers on apple updates against each other.

just yesterday, everyone was hopping mad because apple makes a promo with <any> g5 and a nice 23" display - thinking that this definately means no updates, and today someone points out that <any> g5 might as well be a new update, and everyone is glowing with joy.
you're silly, all of you.
