Report: Don’t Expect Any Big Apple Announcements Today
8:54 am, October 20th, 2009, Ed Sutherland
Don’t get out the party hats and sparklers yet, Apple may not have a big announcement today or tomorrow. At least that’s the word from an anonymous source claiming to know Cupertino’s intentions.
“Nope,” was the one-word comment Stuff got when the site attempted to confirm or refute the various rumors swirling online of some hardware announcement.
“We were first told we ‘hadn’t missed any Apple announcements’, and when pressed on if there was any news on events today or tomorrow, we got the simple reply: ‘Nope,’ according to the site.
Just as winter follows fall, announcements from Apple on new products almost always follows quarterly earnings statements. This time, online chatter centers around redesigned iBooks and iMacs, as well as updated Mac minis with server software and a revamped Magic Mouse.
Others serving up speculation include Fake Steve Jobs (Dan Lyons), who Monday commented only that “there’s something brewing.”
Update: Apple’s online store reportedly has gone offline, a supposed sign the Cupertino, Calif. company is stocking the shelves with new goodies.

” … nline chatter centers around redesigned iBooks and iMacs.”
The iBook returns. I think not.

Magic Mouse? What is that?
I’m more familiar with the “Mighty Mouse”.

Ok, let’s parse the question and answer:
“…when pressed on if there was any news on events today or tomorrow, we got the simple reply: ‘Nope,’ according to the site.”
They asked whether there was “news on events” or possibly even “events,” and they received a “nope.” The question elicited a true answer.
However, there certainly might be new or updated “products” without an “event.”
Gotta ask the right questions to get answers that mean anything.
