Last Minute Apple Thoughts?

Tuesday, February 28th, 2006

It’s the morning of the next great Apple announcement. What should we expect to see today? Video iPod? MacBook(iBook)? MacMini? iTablet? Well, all of those are great possibilities, but are they fun enough? A couple of them are, but as the mole I try to look deeper into the conspiracy theory to find the hard(ly) published rumors that slip through the cracks of most journalistic efforts.

So what could it be? Don’t be surprised if we see iTunes show up on the PS3 or the Xbox 360. Both systems are extremely media-centric and want to be the center of your digital life in the same way that the iPod and iTunes already are. Now, since Apple has partnerships with both Sony and Microsoft for various things, either company could have made a deal with Apple to get iTunes on their system. However, it’s more likely that we would see iTunes on the Xbox 360 for two reasons. One, it’s already on the market. Two, Apple owes Microsoft big. It wasn’t too many years ago that Microsoft gave Apple the cash infusion that it needed to stay alive, not to mention that Microsoft signed a 5 year deal to support OSX with Office. Apple wants iTunes and iPod to be everywhere. The iPod already works great with the Xbox 360. If iTunes shows up on the Xbox 360, it will sell 100 million consoles for that reason alone. That’s 100 million people buying movies from iTunes. That’s just too much business for Apple to turn down.

Any other great conspiracy theories out there? Think I’m crazy? MAKE A COMMENT!

The Mole Launch!

Friday, February 24th, 2006

Hello, I am the mole. This is my blog. Are you bored yet? You should be since nothing has been posted yet. Don’t worry, that won’t last long. Once I start writing, you are going to wish you never heard of the mole. Really, I promise.

What should you expect from my fantastic little piece of the internet wasteland? Being the mole, I focus on rumors, lies, and deceit. That’s right, the fun stuff. However, unlike some other sites on the internet that focus on people, the mole focuses on the joys of consumerism. iPod, Playstation, Xbox, Hybrids, HDTV, and all the other joyous products that make our lives more interesting and our credit card bills higher. Sure, you might be broke, but your toys kick ass right? If you responded yes, then you and I probably have a lot in common. If you responded no, then buy some kick ass toys and read more of the mole!
