Want to win a vintage Apple t-shirt? Read on…
As you saw with our post earlier today, we have a major story coming out on Monday, by far the biggest we’ve ever worked on, and without a doubt the hottest Apple rumor out there (and it boggles our minds that no one is reporting on it!). As we hinted, it has to do with Apple (duh), more specifically, Apple software.
So, while we don’t want to let the cat out of the bag quite yet (come back Monday morning, probably around 8-9AM Pacific time for the big news), we thought it’d be fun to have a little Apple Recon Contest!
The full details, after the jump…to enter, you post a comment below for everyone to see with your guess for what the story is. Only one guess per person (so while you’re free to discuss the other guesses, you can’t post a hundred different guesses). Whoever gets closest wins. If two people guess the same thing, whoever was first, wins. If you guess several different things, like “iLife 2007 is built using Ruby, iTunes 8 has 3D hologram support, Safari is going to use the Firefox codebase”, then we’ll take the first one that you guess, so take some time and think about it!
Here’s a tip, when you enter your post, make sure you provide an email address so we can get in touch with you if you win, so we can make arrangements to get the t-shirt delivered to you. Obviously your email address doesn’t get posted here at the site, and hopefully by now you know we’re not the kind of a-holes that are collecting email addresses to spam people. But if you have your doubts about our intentions, feel free to use a spamgourmet address or similar.
Since the prize comes from a personal collection, we can’t really specify size and so forth, expect L or XL, depending on which one our editor is willing to part with. And yes, we know it’s not much, but the point is more to have fun here than to win some fancy prize (maybe if we ran a bunch of banner ads we’d buy iPods and give them away instead!)
So, put on your thinking cap and get your entry in, below!
As usual, we end with a plea to DIGG US!

Leopard comes out TUESDAY!
January 26, 2007 at 10:54 pm |
iLife ‘07 included in the OSX 10.5 purchase price (bundled with the OS).
January 26, 2007 at 11:03 pm |
Apple will release OS X Leopard for all intel based PCs and Dell will start selling boxes with OS X Leopard starting on release in March.
January 26, 2007 at 11:10 pm |
iLife ‘07 will require Leopard
January 26, 2007 at 11:28 pm |
Apple’s newest GUI, Illuminous, will be revealed to the public.
January 26, 2007 at 11:31 pm |
The latest incarnation of OS X will be released for PCs.
Make it an XL please – haha.
January 26, 2007 at 11:32 pm |
Moc OS X runs on PeeCees
January 26, 2007 at 11:58 pm |
A Fullscreen iPod Video!
January 26, 2007 at 11:59 pm |
Yeah it can’t be A Fullscreen iPod Video duh it’s not software!
January 27, 2007 at 12:00 am |
That’s not software duh!!!!
January 27, 2007 at 12:02 am |
Software duh!!!!
January 27, 2007 at 12:49 am |
It won’t be a fullscreen ipod. not yet at least. Apple just released 2 new ads at macworld advertising the old ones. It wouldn’t make sense.
I think they will release the second leapord preview. (or at least im crossing my fingers they do).
January 27, 2007 at 1:08 am |
read the post guys, a SW annc that NO ONE is talking about, and leopard, iLife, etc are standard fare…
my vote is for a titan TV/tivo app to work with Apple TV. Or was that my hope?;)
January 27, 2007 at 1:20 am |
iLIfe’07 will run under Windows too
January 27, 2007 at 1:36 am |
God you hype it up SO much! quit it! heh
Now, as to the guess, it’s Logic Pro 8 coming out soon, perhaps. Nah, that’s gonna wait until NAB, and is hardly exciting news for people other than a selected few.
How abooouuut.. Hmm.. Apple is buying a license to ship Vista on Macs?!
January 27, 2007 at 1:39 am |
Come to think of it, I honestly don’t want to win a used tshirt. I don’t care if it was worn by freaking John Lennon. Well, maybe ONLY if it was worn by freaking John Lennon.
Therefore my final guess is Leopard’s gonna include a strip poker game.
January 27, 2007 at 1:56 am |
Apple Office! with a new version of keynote, pages. A spreadsheet program, and maybe other unique programs. I just guess..
January 27, 2007 at 2:23 am |
I would quite like to see a few pro apps for a change: new pro a/v apps, Shake, Final Cut Pro, BluRay/HD DVD authoring, Logic. All the consumer stuff is great but I do have to work.
January 27, 2007 at 3:45 am |
Apple will release some sort of VoIP software, either its own version and providing its own backend to release calls to ‘regular’ phones or link iChat with Skype. You will also be able to use this version of VoIP with the iPhone. Win win for apple as they will start to collect revenue from calls… (forget MVNO stuff). You iPhone number will also be your VoIP number (calls will be routed to the iPhone via GSM or VoIP depending which method is available).
January 27, 2007 at 3:59 am |
I believe the iPhones app that Steve Jobs did not show cause it wasn’t ready is iWork. i.e. ability to view .doc, .xls and .ppt files on the iPhone.
January 27, 2007 at 4:54 am |
iLife suite will be combined into a single application
January 27, 2007 at 6:32 am |
Apple’s “Photoshop Killer” will be announced, a full-featured image editing app.
January 27, 2007 at 6:33 am |
Leopard will run Windows programs… maybe when Steve demos it he’ll do the unthinkable…
double-click a .exe app on the mac!
January 27, 2007 at 7:06 am |
10.5 will include an iPhone-like interface for ?mactablet? AND (besides finger jestures) will have hand jestures.
January 27, 2007 at 7:08 am |
.mac will be fully integrated into Leopard, and the subscription fee dropped for all who upgrade. (And going forward, .mac will continue being free for users who keep up with Mac OS upgrades.)
January 27, 2007 at 7:21 am |
Maybe they will be releasing the replacement to Shake. (I was gona say that Apple bought Adobe but that’s just nuts).
January 27, 2007 at 7:48 am |
Leopard will be announced and will be available to PCs.
Yeah, not new guesses here but I couldn’t stop myself. Been using Vista for about a month and making a list of how Mac OS like Windows has become. Yet another unexpected instance of CONVERGENCE!!?
January 27, 2007 at 8:08 am |
Apple announces HyperCard for Mac OS X.
lol
January 27, 2007 at 8:21 am |
all ready said but i too think, ilife07/ iwork 07 is an integrated part of leopard
January 27, 2007 at 8:22 am |
i did also read that there was a rumour of safari being released for windows
January 27, 2007 at 8:37 am |
Apple competitor to Photoshop….
January 27, 2007 at 9:07 am |
Apple remote desktop will be simply included in Leopard, allowing Mac Tablets/Pads, your MacBook etc to be able to control any other Mac regardless of where you are. Help out a friend with an ailing machine across the country, install applications on remote machines, transfer files in a clean and simple manner.
My wish if not the actuality…
January 27, 2007 at 9:10 am |
Leopard ships with an options repricing app, called Crime Machine.
January 27, 2007 at 9:16 am |
iWork 07 for Windows Vista
I hope I’m wrong
January 27, 2007 at 9:50 am |
Apple announces an “After Effects”-killer that will be integrated directly into Final Cut Pro.
January 27, 2007 at 9:55 am |
Adobe Cs3 is finished and ready for release.
January 27, 2007 at 10:02 am |
Multi-touch in Mac OS X Leopard, new products to come.
January 27, 2007 at 10:08 am |
Something great that will let .exe files to run simultanuesly in Mac OS X.
January 27, 2007 at 10:11 am |
Some improvements to iWeb.
January 27, 2007 at 10:15 am |
iLife and iWork suites combined. $100. New App. included. Maybe just re-vamped PhotoBooth.
January 27, 2007 at 10:31 am |
My guess is that, under Leopard, Boot Camp is going to be something much, much better … Leopard will allow you to run two discreet boots of your Mac simultaneously. You’ll be able to flip back-and-forth between a full Windows and OS X boot without powering down.
January 27, 2007 at 10:52 am |
Apple is buying Path Finder, and will incorporate it into Leopard, making it look awesome with Core Animation.
Not that I think it’s likely, but I can dream…
January 27, 2007 at 11:02 am |
I guess it is an upgrade campaign for XP users to upgrade to leopard instead of Vista. The new sw feature will be the support of running XP apps and leopard apps without tne need for dual boot.
January 27, 2007 at 11:12 am |
How about the 30th Anniversary Mac?
They’ve done a 20th, make sense don’t ya think?
January 27, 2007 at 12:25 pm |
Leopard released to suck all the air from the Vista release.
January 27, 2007 at 12:45 pm |
Leopard products will include touch technology and voice recognition (secret feature) – bye bye keyboard
“apple reinvents the way we type”
January 27, 2007 at 12:54 pm |
Games … Apple has been hiring game designers. With 802.11n wireless … why do you need an expensive, separate games console (PS3 or XBox360)?
Apple will demo a fast quad-core Mac with 802.11n networking, capable of streaming HD video wirelessly to your HDTV.
NOTE: This notion came from someone on another board … but it makes sense to me.
January 27, 2007 at 1:21 pm |
Video iPod will be a replica of the iPhone, less the phone, with a huge HD.
January 27, 2007 at 2:27 pm |
why the fuck would i want one of your old t-shirts? that is absolutely not motivating to potentially don your old pit stains.
btw, your nothing but a shit rag blog.
January 27, 2007 at 2:38 pm |
The iPhone will run a Nintendo GBA and DS emulator.
January 27, 2007 at 3:03 pm |
It’s the iChurn
January 27, 2007 at 3:26 pm |
@berad: One mega-app for managing music, photos, capturing/editing video, creating dvds, etc., etc., etc.? Please forgive him for even thinking it Mr. Jobs.
January 27, 2007 at 3:31 pm |
@Harry122: Why would they want to release a “Photoshop Killer”? Photoshop is a wonderful program which has taken over a decade to get to where it is. No, Apple is not interested in obliterating good software just so they can rule the market. You’re thinking of Microsoft and the original browser wars.
January 27, 2007 at 3:38 pm |
Other than perhaps those saying .exe files on Mac, I think you’re all thinkin too small. Multi-Touch interface, with full multi-touch Cinema Displays, iMacs, MacBooks, and MBPs, but if you can’t upgrade to a new Cinema Display, iMac or notebook, then they have a peripheral, more or less a 10X10 Multi-Touch Screen that you can use to control your computer, to replace the mouse. That’s my guess (and my hope)
January 27, 2007 at 3:38 pm |
and finally, @b-dawg: Thats what I’m really hoping for. The value of being able to run Windows programs from within leopard…please, please!
January 27, 2007 at 3:38 pm |
Safari on Windows.
The guy 4 up from my post (names “me”)has some issues. If this is such a Sh*t rag blog, than why:
1) is it the #1 wordpress
2) why are you reading it
3) why waste time posting?
idiot
January 27, 2007 at 3:39 pm |
I bet for Safari for Windows
January 27, 2007 at 4:24 pm |
Apple is tking over office development for the mac, i.e. MS is outsourcing its development to Apple.
January 27, 2007 at 4:44 pm |
AppleTV IS front row 2.0
January 27, 2007 at 4:45 pm |
VoIP calling (via Mac or iPhone) using a new TBA Apple app similar to JaJah or Skype.
January 27, 2007 at 4:49 pm |
Apple will bring back the Newton PDA. After they annouce it this week, they will do a big ad during the super bowl.
January 27, 2007 at 5:54 pm |
OSX will be licensed to run natively on Windows boxes – limited in functionality but good and fast enough to run in eg VMWare – preinstalled apps: Safari, Mail, AddressBook, iTunes, (maybe) iMovie and a few more essentials (Utilities). Mind you: the drop of “Mac” in OSX!?!!
January 27, 2007 at 6:29 pm |
Leopard’s new interface and features
January 27, 2007 at 6:31 pm |
Apple will resurrect the Yellow Box for Windows allowing Mac apps compiled in Xcode to be run on Windows machines.
January 27, 2007 at 6:37 pm |
Update on the iChurn:
It will be bluetooth enabled and can powered by either churning or horse. It will include a software plug in allowing the user to create and upload ThySpace.com themes.
It’s going to be really cool.
January 27, 2007 at 6:42 pm |
Apple buys Parallels
January 27, 2007 at 7:26 pm |
Mac os will now be able to run windows apps natively.
January 27, 2007 at 8:16 pm |
Here’s a long shot: Apple will update Front Row with DVR capabilities.
January 28, 2007 at 4:01 am |
You can see the power of blogging right here – here a a bunch a Mac faithful (me too, typing on a G4 Powerbook right now) coming up with a series of great ideas for new product from Apple that we are keen to buy… all for the cost of a t-shirt that Apple doesn’t even pay for!! Great blog, keep up the good work…
January 28, 2007 at 6:49 am |
It’s Apple’s version of the Home Server. This is the big missing link in Apple’s ‘just works’ strategy, and will tie together iTV, Time Machine, Airport Extreme, etc.
January 28, 2007 at 7:04 am |
iLife/iWork will be a pack-in for Leopard and Ready to realease…….
January 28, 2007 at 7:20 am |
Remaining iLife suite ported to Windows ! I suspect Steve wants to sell more APple TV’s and best way is to get iPhoto, iMovie, etc.. on Windows.
January 28, 2007 at 8:41 am |
@sullis – apple is about to release their home server, check the specs for the next airport extreme base station you cn add an (or many using a usb hub) external harddrive(s) directly to it, basically making it a server plus if leopard does support zfs partitioning that would mean you can keep adding as many harddrives as you require and zfs will move the files about as necessary for access speed and space.
plus with time mahine built in to leopard you should (fingers crossed) get auto backups to the server every night so no more manual backups.
January 28, 2007 at 8:43 am |
Prepping for appleTV … iTunes will be updated or an add-on software, so that users will be able to digitize their DVD library, will include DRM so that it cannot be copied (of course), to be compatible with appleTV.
Giving us roughly a month to digitize our library of DVD’s … this would make it a whole lot easier, than ripping and converting into mp4, h.268, whatever it is.
Just wishful thinking????
January 28, 2007 at 8:55 am |
software for multicore machines; 64 Bit – programming.
January 28, 2007 at 9:57 am |
Beatles music & movies added to itunes.
Apple announces partnership with TIVO for TV recording software which integrates with Apple TV
Apple announces youtube & google partnership for Apple TV use
Apple releases an anti-spyware/malware app for PCs which removes Vista
.MAC becomes free and includes added features. Possibly with Google software included
January 28, 2007 at 10:24 am |
Hi All!
The big item that Apple will announce on Tues 1/30/07, will be the return of the Duo. A sub-notebook, probably called the MacBook Duo. By the way, my size in T-shirts is XL!
January 28, 2007 at 11:55 am |
Wow i hope they dont run vista on a ipod/iphone
btw my lame guess
January 28, 2007 at 1:52 pm |
Apple buys Adobe
January 28, 2007 at 2:49 pm |
More news is leaking out about the iChurn:
They are going to be intel based, and using new lithium ion technology allowing them a battery life in the 3 hour range. (Of course the iChurch will be able to be powered by actually churning butter with it.)
One peripheral still in development will allow the iChurn to print out perfect barn raising blueprints. More details as they become known.
January 28, 2007 at 4:43 pm |
Apple to unlock iTunes/iPod
January 28, 2007 at 5:56 pm |
Apple conquers Spam. A software plugin that only works with Mail, prevents 99.9% of the spam from getting in, notifies all other servers where it comes from, and allerts InterPol to the street address.
Oh wait, didn’t Mr Gates declare war on Spam in 2004? Maybe there’s nothing left to do…
January 28, 2007 at 6:59 pm |
AppleTV will allow access to all iLife functions (including browsing) from your Enhanced-definition or high-definition widescreen TV.
January 28, 2007 at 9:07 pm |
Here are three guesses.
1- Quicktime Pro for free download.
2- Developers kit for designing games for Apple TV, like iPod games now.
3- Virtualization company successully running full Mac OS X on PC clone hardware.
January 28, 2007 at 9:47 pm |
Nope.
Apple is entering the games market via appleTV / Itunes store and a buy-separate WiFi control consol.
Pretty slick too.
January 28, 2007 at 10:20 pm |
the iTMS goes _social_. Think last.fm built right into iTunes so that you can find new music based upon what you’re listening to. It’ll be Apple’s entrance into the myspace social networking world and every iPod ower will have an account.
January 28, 2007 at 11:29 pm |
Mac is going to release a Final Cut Pro version (Extreme or something like that ) that is geared for high end editing work and directly compete with high end AVID systems. I guess this might go down at NAB which is in a few months from now.
January 29, 2007 at 12:32 am |
Apple will release a ‘writers’ package targeted at the millions of fiction writers and (possibly) screenwriters who are totally cheesed off using the MS Word ‘dinosaur’ to write novels and outline screenplays. Possibly even designed for non fiction writers as well.
January 29, 2007 at 3:18 am |
Major upgrade to .Mac; 50Gb storage and syncing to IPhone. Free with any new Intel Mac for life.
January 29, 2007 at 4:38 am |
iPhone now supports outlook – not that I use it, but it would make it more windoze users happy.
I’m still an XL.
January 29, 2007 at 6:34 am |
NEW MACPROS!!!
January 29, 2007 at 7:24 am |
OSX will have a new software package that will work with the AppleTV. It will allow you complete control of your Mac from your living room – wirelessly.
January 29, 2007 at 7:27 am |
>>Apple will release a ‘writers’ package targeted at the millions of fiction writers and (possibly) screenwriters who are totally cheesed off using the MS Word ‘dinosaur’ to write novels and outline screenplays. Possibly even designed for non fiction writers as well.
I sincerely doubt that any screenwriters use MS Word instead of Final Draft or Movie Magic Screenwriter. As for fiction writers, there are solid programs out there that you can use instead of Word, I’m a big fan of Ulysses by the Blue Technologies Group. I wouldn’t mind Apple making Pages a bit more adaptable to these forms, but the specialized writing software is better, in my opinion, than a Swiss Army knife word processor.
As for the other guesses, none of you guys have any imagination. If the rumor’s as small as everyone is predicting, there’s no point even coming back on Monday to find out what it is.
January 29, 2007 at 7:30 am |
Apple introduces the iCar.
Wirelessly controlled smartcar – a la the DaVinci code.
It’ll hold over a gazillion songs – and make a great latte too!!!
January 29, 2007 at 6:26 pm |
Apple will introduce a live CD version of OS X for generic biege boxes. Try it before you buy it. Vista is instantly obsolete.
Apple’s new OS X will have the ability to run windows .exe files without needing boot camp or parallels,
. . .we can dream, can’t we?
February 2, 2007 at 12:45 pm |
Apple Inc will buy Microsoft Corp
February 2, 2007 at 12:48 pm |
iTunes get a visualizer that is actually cool.
February 2, 2007 at 12:49 pm |
The power cord on the iMac is extended by 6 inches, and the plug is replaced with one that is 1mm smaller.
February 2, 2007 at 12:51 pm |
iTunes 7.0.2.17 is released!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
February 2, 2007 at 12:54 pm |
Apple releases the iComputer
