One of two things are going to happen. Either Steve Jobs is up to his usual tricks and is investing in ways to send those who follow Apple’s patterns off the trail, or MacRumours (and others) have got something right.
The sudden outburst of rumours are generally fuelled by the evidence spotted in the MacRumours forum. They noticed Apple’s recent purchase of www.me.com.
