John Gruber is teasing us

[TSchiewe]

Did you not catch the dripping sarcasm of that article? He was basically saying Dan Lyons is a moron.

Haha I'm glad someone else corrected him. I've been a DF reader for a very long time now. John calls out other bloggers quite frequently and that was one of those occasions.

He also has some damn good sources at Apple. Off the top of my head, he's nailed more product announcements from Apple than anyone in the last two years. (3GS last year, MBP's with the hybrid GPU's + plus the keynote date like two months in advance, Mac Mini, some iPad details, Safari mention above, MobileMe announcement, etc etc). So when a rumor is posted on DF, I tend to give it a lot more credit than other rumore sites.

Here's a link that goes over his track record in more detail. LINK

Oh and he actively reads this forum too haha I wouldn't be surprised if he's already read this thread.

But I guess we'll all find out tomorrow morning if he's right or not.

I wonder if he saw my MacGruber post.

John if your reading this thread, that post was for you!

If Gruber is wrong he's going to have a hard time living this one down. Too many people will remember it. This despite him carefully writing his post with an "I was only joking" tone. He wasn't joking, just hedging. But lets hope that's a moot point and he's right.

UK one is down too.......... get ready for a surprise.......

Actually I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a new Mac Pro for you peeps as you've been waiting sssssooooooooooo long.

Quick predictions:

New mac Pro, I don't think it'll have a new case But I hope it does, new GPU's, CPU's, USB3, SSD?
Imacs with speed bump, maybe use the latest core i class (hasn't Intel got some new models out?), I think we'll get a low end core i5 in the base model instead of i3, USB3, new graphics options. SSD?
New 27" monitor.

Once again Gruber is 100% right. He calls EVERYTHING, the retina display (months in advance), the Magic Trackpad (nearly 1/2 a year in advance), all the details of the new iMac design last year and on and on including everything that came today. APPLE LEAKS THROUGH GRUBER. On purpose and from on high (Jobs has publicly mentioned Gruber by name in emails.)

The key is he makes it so clear. If he is guessing he says, "I have no inside information but I think..." but if he is leaking real information he always talks about it as if it certain without even mentioning what he is saying shouldn't be know as in "WHEN the new Mac Pro comes out on Tuesday" or "the new iPhone HAS a double resolution display" or "you mean the new Apple TV based on iOS 4.0 which been testing for months in the beta?" etc.

Currently the only unseen BUT LEAKED information from Gruber? He has confirmed the iOS based Apple TV remake. When did that info come out? When Apple leaked it to him shortly after Google made waves with their upcoming Google TV announcement.
