Yesterday, Apple released its new 17 inch MacBook Pro at NAB. What made this release of an Apple product unique was the fact that the rumor sites actually guessed it right! Now, they might not have gotten the specifics exactly right, but getting the overall announcement right is more than they usually do.
This is especially significant because before Apple’s last event many rumor sites proudly predicted that Steve would introduce a “true” video iPod. However, only Intel Mac minis, a soon-forgotten stereo system, and $99 leather iPod cases. The Mac Rumor Mill has been getting less and less accurate in recent months, seemingly basing its rumors off hopes, not actual information. However, they may be getting back on track, or maybe they just had a lucky guess this time.
