Apple Tonight (19:00 CET), Apple's CEO Steve Jobs will deliver his keynote speech for the attendants of Apple's Worldwide Developer's Conference in San Fransisco. As always, the Mac world is buzzing with rumours. Firstly, a photo taken with a camera phone suggests Apple will release a sub-notebook, with a 10" LED widescreen, 120GB flashdrive, and a programmable LCD keyboard. Another persistent rumour is that Apple will replace its iMac line with thinner, brushed-metal 20" and 24" iMacs. Lastly, a German website claims to have an outline of the keynote speech - this outline confirms the new iMacs, but also has some interesting notes on Leopard: a unified, standard theme (this alone would make the keynote worthwhile for me), a new Finder, resolution independence, and more. As always, take these rumours with a bag of salt.

It doesn't matter if it's "usable", or anything like that. The point is that Apple likes to use that "Start your photocopiers" crap, then come out with some Vista-like stuff.

Ugh, actually it's the other way 'round, really.

Nevertheless, I really think the press' attitude towards rumours like these just suck. Hell, if I write something like "Apple to launch banana-shaped telephone iBanana" on my blog and quote a "source inside Apple who wishes to remain anonymous", it'll be minutes before people start wondering what OS will iBanana run and whether it will have a Firewire port.

Press should be about information. Rumours have a well-deserved place in written press -- tabloids -- and they should fscking stay there. This is not journalism. It's a word starting with C, and it's not "car".
