Props to Think Secret
Here are the current headline from Think Secret, all pre-macworld.
*Apple to Charge $100 for .Mac services
*Adios G3 iMacs, G4 towers in August
*Apple to introduce 20gig iPod, updated iTunes
*MWNY to bring 17" iMacs, but no G4 towers
I'd say Nick's batting average is getting pretty good.

No one with a lick of sense would buy one...
<strong>He blew his QT 6 prediction. </strong><hr></blockquote>
And he blew the Bye Bye G3 iMacs. And to be fair, the .Mac scoop wasn't really his (I saw it on other rumor sites, including the $100 price, weeks before).
But he did get the 17 imac (although it wasn't widescreen) and iPod, so that's fairly good for a rumor site.
Oh, it's PROPS to Think Secret.....okay, I thought I was being paged....sorry.
Yeah, like I said in some other thread a while back, Think Secret is the market leader in presenting accurate rumors....kind of like AI was back in the glory days!
D
The G3 iMacs weren't killed, just retooled to take on a much reduced role in their desktop line.
Jobs and Sculley didn't go "head to head" with significant announcements. Jobs had a fairly minor announcement, while Sculley's "announcement" fizzled, barely being noticed. Etc.
Still, probably my favorite rumor site.
I personally think they will release the new G4 hardware on the same day they release Jag (24th? -can't remember).
I'm sure the 13th is just as much of a guess as "no new g4's in NY" was... no real source, just basing it on the current promo end date...
