The sad state of Apple rumours
It's a weird time for those of us who've followed Apple rumors for years. (And I'm not the only one who has noticed.)

Coming Attractions: Windows 8
Let's get a couple of things straight right off the bat. First, it's absurd to take the opinion of an obvious Apple partisan like me about Windows 8. I've been using the Mac for more than 20 years, so it's going to take a Star Trek-level time-travelling reboot to get me really excited about the next version of Microsoft's operating system. Second, I can't really review Windows 8. No one can. Even with a preview release set to arrive early next month, Windows 8 isn't due in its final form for months. Who knows? Maybe, like a movie, Microsoft will spice it up with a car chase or a happy ending.
