Rumor: Steve Jobs’ Health Declining Rapidly

I believe Steve Jobs is one of the greatest people of this century!

I HATE to read about rumors of his health. But like millions of others, I am concerned and worried.

According to Gizmodo:

“Steves health is rapidly declining. Apple is choosing to remove the hype factor strategically vs letting the hype destroy apple when the inevitable news comes later this spring.

This strategic loss will be less of a bang with investors. This is why Macworld is a no-go anymore. No more Steve means no more hype. Saying they are no longer needing [Macworld] is the cover designed by the worldwide ‘loyalty’ department.”

Rumor Du Jour – Mac Mini Coming to Macworld 09

Is Apple getting rid of the Mac Mini? Isn’t the new design coming soon? Will it have a Blu-Ray player to compete with the Netflix box?

There is no shortage of speculation around the next move for Apple and the Mac Mini, so I present to you the “Rumor Du Jour” – Mac Mini Coming to Macworld 09. Wired is Reporting:

“An upgrade to the Mac Mini is long overdue: The product hasn’t seen a refresh since August 2007, and Apple computers normally have a life cycle of roughly six months. This long period of silence led many to speculate that Apple was going to drop the Mac Mini from its product line. However, Apple has shown no signs of discontinuing the product. It’s also noteworthy that although Apple has been quiet about Mac Mini sales numbers, the diminutive desktop appears to be selling quite well. For example, the Mac Mini has been among the top 5 of Amazon’s best selling desktops; it currently stands at No. 3.”

Rumor ALERT! It’s A Nano iPhone!

It’s A Nano iPhone!

A holiday rumor for you…
iDealsChina is reporting:

“No more speculating, the new iPhone is a Nano Phone ! We just got these images of a silicone case design by www.XSKN.com for the new Nano iPhone. This case is in production. We are not sure when they will release it on their site. The XSKN designs will give you an idea of the shape and size of the new Nano iPhone. We understand that a number of company are producing cases as of last week. If you remember, before iPhone 3G was released a number of companies including Griffin had advanced information of the size and shape of iPhone 3G. We understand that once one company starts making a mold their information is passed onto other mold companies or accessory companies through a China underground network”

I believe a nano iPhone would be great but I would definitely NOT get this ugly case for it!

Engadget got a hold of a new “leaked” picture of the new MacBook Pros, or did they?

Craziness around the geek blogosphere since some pics were found on a German site that is stating this is the new MacBook.
