Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard debuting at WWDC?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, PC / Laptop, Rumors, Software,
So, word on the street now is that Apple will be unveiling Mac OS X 10.5.6
10.6 in a mere five days at WWDC. Based on the fact that Steve Jobs said that they wanted to get back on track to releasing just about yearly, I started asking people if they thought the successor to Leopard would show up next week, and they all scoffed as if I were some sort of lunatic. Well, now with the reports that TUAW and Ars have receive, it appears that my hunch was correct. Oh, and what will the successor be named? We all know Apple likes to stick with the cats for OS X, and it appears that this time it is going to be “Snow Leopard.” You see, this release is all about tightening up speed, stability, and security - not so much about dazzling new features like Time Machine. See? They want to take Leopard, and make it white as snow. That’s almost as cute as an iPod nano…
We look to Monday to see what Steve brings us.

Frank Miller Addresses Concerns of The Spirit
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Lionsgate, Action, Adaptation, Drama, Mystery, Noir, Filmmaking, Rumors, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,
In a recent blog post, graphic novelist/director Frank Miller addressed complaints and concerns aroused by fans upon the circulation of the teaser trailer for The Spirit, which can be seen after the jump.
In Will Eisner’s comics, the Spirit’s suit and hat are printed blue. In the posters, ads, and trailer, he is seen wearing black. Miller explained that due to printing issues, the Spirit’s clothes appear blue when meant to be black (take Superman’s hair, for instance).
Similarly, the black attire and red hints a tad reminiscent of Miller’s own Sin City, but he assures readers that the teaser trailer is just that—a tease. “To drive the point home, The Spirit, despite any accidental impression left by that kickass teaser-trailer, is a full-color movie. Sin City is, visually, a playhouse for black and white,” he clarifies.

Is Eva Longoria Pregnant?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Photos, Rumors,
Although she still managed to look cute as always, tighter shots taken of Eva Longoria Parker yesterday have some questioning whether the actress is pregnant.
The Desperate Housewives star, at an event for the Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards (CFDA), opted to wear a skin-tight pink dress that hugged every curve. And while the petite woman could definitely afford to gain a few pounds, it’s rare to see Eva in something that forces her breast to heave and her belly to poke out.
So what do you think? Should the Parkers start searching for a nanny…or a new stylist?
iPhone screenshot shows 3G setting switch
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Handhelds, Wireless / WiFi,
All signs are pointing to a new 3G iPhone launching in the next six weeks or so. The latest is this screenshot that is, supposedly, taken from the iPhone 2.0 Beta 5 firmware. Check it out - within the Network settings pane, you now have an Enable 3G toggle switch. It’s a way to put a little bit of power back into your hands as the user, what do you care about more, speed, or battery life? I personally would love a setting that disabled 3G when the iPhone realized I was connected to a WiFi hotspot.
In all seriousness, Apple needs to launch this thing already. The employees over at the Rumor Mill are working way too many overtime hours.
Director Yells Cut on Sex and the City Rumors
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Paramount, Romance, Comedy, Upcoming Releases,
The Internet has been aflame since the telltale slip was released that a Sex and the City character will be offed in the upcoming motion picture. Many have speculated on just who will find a horrible fate with the franchise, but are any of them right?
Carrie’s black hair, leading trailers and general paranoia have led to one convincing rumor that it will, in fact, be Mr. Big who perishes in the film.
Director Michael Patrick King, who also supplies the commentaries for the DVDs, put an end to those rumors in recent statements to the press. “Kill Mr. Big?” King asked rhetorically. “I would have been chased around the planet by women with torches.” And that’s not even the half of it.
But with that statement, the director closed the door on all the current Sex speculation about actor Chris Noth‘s character. If Mr. Big won’t die…then, who will? “It’s a summer movie,” King told reporters. “Why would I want to kill anyone?” Could it be that the biggest Sex and the City slip of the season wasn’t even reality?
Did Mariah Carey Marry Nick Cannon?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television, Engagements, Weddings, Rumors,
Right now crews from Entertainment Tonight and The Insider are somewhere out there trying to get this story straight….
Depending on who you choose to believe, singers Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are either just dating, engaged or already married. Although the two have been spotted together in the past several weeks, the ‘couple’ has artfully dodged any dating rumors. Then last Saturday, Mariah appeared at an after party for her new movie (Tennessee) while sporting a large rock on her ring finger.

3G iPhone to cost $199 from AT&T
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, GPS, Handhelds, Rumors, Wireless / WiFi,
Get this - Fortune is saying that AT&T is going to be subsidizing the cost of the 3G iPhone by $200, which would mean that you could get one of the new phones for $199 USD with a 2-year contract. Now, that isn’t as crazy as it seems, as they do this with just about every other phone that they offer. They just haven’t been doing it with the first iPhone. Now, to be clear, if you made the decision to buy the phone from an Apple Store, you would be paying the full price.
Other tidbits in the Fortune article state that the new phone will be 2.5mm thinner than the current iPhone (which itself is 11.7mm thick), and that it will also include a GPS chip. Pricing will be $399 for the 8GB version, and $499 for the 16GB model, before subsidies. As with all Apple rumors, we take this one with a grain of salt, but hey, it’s Fortune, right?

3G iPhone details, and there’s (at least) one in Seattle
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, GPS, Handhelds, Rumors, Wireless / WiFi,
We’ve been trying not to stir the iPhone rumor pot too much lately, but it seems like details are starting to come out that we believe may just be legitimate. Ryan over at Engadget heard a few things from a trusted source that match up with a couple of things we’ve heard, plus he got a few things we weren’t sure about.
For starters, we had heard that the 3G iPhone would likely be just a tad thicker than the current model, which seems to match up with what we read. Physically, Apple may be doing away with the two-toned back color of the iPhone, opting instead for a smooth black finish. The headphone jack will no longer be recessed into that hole of frustration, and lastly, the thing will have full-on GPS.
Engadget is saying that the next iPhone could ship as early as July. We are thinking it could be as early as June. We know for a fact that there is at least one person here in Seattle who has one, and that the person doesn’t work for Apple. Apple typically doesn’t seed these things outside of their organization until they are in the last phase of testing. That leads us to believe that these are just about ready to launch. What do you think? This is all a bit too exciting for us, as we die a little inside with each day that passes where we have to use EDGE on our iPhone.

3G iPhone launching within 60 days
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Handhelds, Rumors, Videos, Wireless / WiFi,
In the above video, the main throwback into gadget news, Walt Mossberg, mentions that the iPhone will be 3G sometime in the next 60 days. Now we know, we talk about analysts making such claims all the time, but in case you didn’t know, Walt Mossberg is pretty much the guy that gets to play with all these things first. Before anyone else in the industry we mean. So when he throws out a claim like this, we are of the opinion that the grain of salt that you need to take it with is a lot smaller than all the other guys. Oh, and this goes along with our story that Apple may have placed the order for 3G iPhones, and the fact that iPhones seem to be sold out at a bunch of Apple Stores. It just makes sense.
The question is, once a 3G version of the iPhone is made available from Apple, are you buying?
EDIT: Mossberg has since said his comment was just based on the speculation that we all are under, however, that said - it’s Walt. You know this guy is under NDA. Even if it was prediction-based, rather than a slip of the tongue, the evidence is all around us.

Did Heath Ledger Have Another Child?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Celebrity Babies, Rumors,
Just when you thought he could finally rest in peace…
Although Heath Ledger‘s passing happened over two months ago, the star is still garnering news…and he has his family to thank for most of it.
After it was revealed that the Brokeback Mountain star did not provide for his daughter, Matilda, in his outdated will, Heath’s father assured everyone that the 2-year-old would be taken care of. Unfortunately, this announcement forced Kim Ledger’s estranged brothers to come out of the woodwork and cry foul. Apparently Heath’s pop was previously accused of mishandling another relative’s estate when he was appointed overseer.
Now there’s the chance that another party could shake up matters a bit more. A possible love child.
