Right on what? They are expecting iBook updates... this article has nothing to do with iBooks.

Is this the same ThinkSecret that said "Think Secret sources have heard nothing to date regarding any collaboration between Apple and Intel" ?

I wonder what would happen if Apple never released another update for the iBook and phased them out. Then what would you all worry about? When it's released it's released and no one knows for sure except for Apple. Go outside and go for a walk, or take your kids to a movie or something. Jesus.

This is where you got it all wrong. You clearly donīt understand how a modern company is run.
You see. the only thing that drives products refreshments at Apple is the bitching posts here. It works like this:
Each morning Jobs is handed a summary of the threads at this board, he reads them and by that gets the overall picture of where Apples product portfolio is lacking.
The he goes to the various developing teams and present his findings to them, throwing all those printed threads at them, yelling "See, they call our mac mini embarrassing! Do stuff NOW!!!"
In this particular case its not the engineers who are the problem but the surplus of inventory. The engineers told Jobs that they were ready but they had all those products on the shelves that needed to go before releasing the new model.
So Jobs went into his office and thought to himself "But i-am-an-elf is really waiting for the next mac mini and DHagan4755 is making fun of us. I have to do something" and then he did something and called overstock.com.
So donīt come here and patronize us. We are the driving force behind Apple innovation. Without us we would never have gone beyond the flower power imac.

Do you mean I had it all wrong? I thought the driving force behind Apple's innovation was Steve getting up every morning, looking in the mirror, and saying "What do I want today?"
