Post some links to them. Every source I've read about this, and a couple of Mac podcast I listen to say that it stemmed from a report in the FT which was based on the tweet. Love to see them proved wrong. So post away!



I didn't suggest you did, honey. You said Apple haven't commented. I said they never comment on rumours.



Good. I expect nothing at all.

Would you care to make a wager?
the FT article came out May 8th, the facebook video/tweet was released may 9th. One of the primary stories re: the fb vid and tweet was that it confirmed the rumor of the day before.

Here's just 1 story re: that from May 9th
