Apple support forums inadvertently leak 10/20 product announcements
All props to Polish blog spidersweb.pl this morning, as they did a bit of sneaky digging into Apple's support forums to turn up compelling evidence of some of the products we expect to see later today.
Knowing that when the forum administrators create new support categories the forum URLs get sequential numbers, writer Przemysław Pająk got curious. Simply editing the address of the forum site to go past the most recent addition (the Apple TV, at #276) reveals a 'Reserved 10 20' forum -- aha!
That alone is a fun discovery, but if you keep going as Spider's Web did, you will rapidly discover forums for iMovie, GarageBand and iPhoto '11, followed by a forum for 'MBA (Need Official Name).' Oops.
If you have "new iLife" and "new MacBook Air" on your Keynote Bingo card, might as well start chilling the champagne now. You might also spare a good thought for the Apple Support forum administration team, which is almost certainly going to have a pretty lousy day at work.
Also note the absence of iWeb and iDVD from the presumptive product line.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in.

Looks like the Leo LaPorte syndrome hit me; I just got a new 15" MBP a couple of weeks ago and already I feel the trickle as iLife dollars start to drip from my virtual wallet.
