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. This was recently followed by the acquisition of www.mobileme.com. I’m no expert, but it’s a safe bet that these domains cost a lot of money, as the …
It’s here! Unbelievably, for some reason, not found before, by the masses, Internet Explorer has been ported (well…) for Intel OS X. Using the Wine platform, IE6 and IE7 has been ported to Linux, then to OS X.

The new version of Firefox (3) has begun to spread around the industry, with some disappointing results. Although there are a few new features, noticeably Gecko 1.9, and the URL bar’s striking new functionality, there is just not enough changes to give it an integer update, to 3.
