In recent days, Apple rumor mongering seems to have reached an all-time high. With talk about a new iPod Nano, leaked images and rumors of a Special Event on September 5th, things are certainly beginning to heat up. If you haven’t seen it, here’s a rendering from Gizmodo.

A Leopard Mac. Worth Waiting For?
Posted by Marvin on 17 Jul 2007, with 4 Thoughts »
Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) will be arriving later this year in October. For most people, 3 months is certainly a long time; plus, there is always the possibility of new hardware surfacing.

The OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) is a project that has been under the limelight for quite sometime. Initiated by MIT’s Media Lab, the goal was to create a $100 laptop to educate the world’s children. Well, there’s just one problem.
What’s the AppleTV’s USB Port (Really) For?
Posted by Marvin on 17 Apr 2007.
