With the Macworld Keynote mere hours away - and our boys Vincent and James on their way to LiveBlog the whole thing for SlashGear - the rumor mill has not only spun up to a high milling-speed but practically consumed its own grinding wheel (yes, I'll leave that metaphor alone now).

Posted on 14 January 2008 by Chris Davies
