Hmmm, as thinksecret has gotten this wrong, could this be Apple trying to find the leak by selectively giving false info to suspected leakers???

dude that is some awesome conspiracy theory, the ol' disinformation-tracking method
edit:
there could have been different versions of the disinformation, eg. iPodphoto direct connect to digiCam, eg. iPod mini color screen, and
they would track and see how the rumors show up at various sites.
cool 8)
Good catch "dutch pear" that's probably what their doing. Sly dogs, as for the iPod update "Boring".
And this is exactly why Apple gets so pissed off at these rumor sites. For days now the whispers about a color mini were so frenzied that even some investment analysts picked up on it; so now Apple has to either meet expectations based on an irresponsible rumor or possibly see their stock price get hit as a result.
I wonder if there ever was and "Asteroid" box being developed by Apple... All I know is that there was a bit of disappointment when it didn't show at MWSF.

the analysts can kiss my ass. if they're dumb enough to trade millions of dollars worth of stock based on rumor websites, well, wait a minute... that's what they do...
repeat, analysts can kiss my ass. i don't think rumor sites should be blamed for hurting AAPL stock price \
edit: i mean that merril lynch guy that was trying to push up the price with so-called 'sony-apple' partnership pfffttt !! a few days later sony president came out and said 'we gonna be making iPod-killer'
f8ck analysts and their bullsh1t....
