by Scott McNulty (Sep 12th, 2006)

by Dan Pourhadi (Sep 12th, 2006)

That's right, we will be providing "live" coverage of the Apple "It's Showtime" event...sorta.

Watch today's It's Showtime event live

by David Chartier (Sep 12th, 2006)

Wow, it's been a while since Apple has offered a live stream of an event, or even a video or streaming link prior to the event itself. Nevertheless, here it is: Apple's official It's Showtime event page, which looks like it will offer a 'video-on-demand' of the event, though the word 'live' isn't ...

The Apple Store is down

by Scott McNulty (Sep 12th, 2006)

Ah, the delicate dance that is the few hours before a Stevenote. Apple's web elves are not only busy updating the iTunes Store, it would seem that are updating Apple's online store as well (and not just in the US, we have reports that the Apple store in several countries). This just builds the ...

iTunes to be rebranded as "Showtime?"

by David Chartier (Sep 12th, 2006)

There might be more to the iTunes store being down than we originally thought. A little bird sent us a tip that belies the possibility that the 'Showtime' buzzword Apple's been using to promote their special event today could be the actual new name of the iTunes/Music/Movie Store and software. This ...

Movie links appear on German QuickTime page

by Dave Caolo (Sep 12th, 2006)

The evidence continues to mount. Several eagle-eyed readers have spotted the images and links depicted at right on the Quicktime page of Apple's website for Germany. Of course, the links aren't working for me right now (clicking them just brings up the "It's Showtime" message), but they do begin ...

The "iTunes Store" is down

by Dave Caolo (Sep 12th, 2006)

As of approximately 8:30 AM Eastern in the US, the "iTunes Store" (note that the word "music" has been omitted) is unavailable. Like many of you, I got the message pictured at right when I went from the main page to the TV Shows page and back again. Is anyone outside the US experiencing the same ...

iPhone revealed finally?

by Dave Caolo (Sep 12th, 2006)

A number of you have sent in this tip which points to an article in the French newspaper, iGeneration. A rough translation of the French text follows (French speakers: Feel free to "clean up" our translation!): "This morning, anyone with the current edition of '20 minute day' [which appears to be a ...

Apple's agenda for the media event?

by Dave Caolo (Sep 11th, 2006)

Ok, it's time for some last-minute rumor mongering. A little birdie just flew into TUAW headquarters (a little birdie who wishes to remain anonymous) and told us the following. Remember, this is all rumor, folks, but it sounds like it could be legit to us. Here we go. "...Let's just say I have been ...

TUAW "It's Showtime!" predictions

by David Chartier (Sep 11th, 2006)

It's that time ladies and gentlemen: the pre-event post where the TUAW team put it all on the line and offer up their predictions on what we'll be throwing down our credit cards for after tomorrow's It's Showtime special event. In all actuality, there isn't much on the line for us, but it's still ...

Will we see iTunes 7 tomorrow?

by Scott McNulty (Sep 11th, 2006)

The rumors are swirling, as they always do before his Steveness mounts a stage. Tomorrow, in case you aren't completely Apple obsessed, Apple is hosting a special event titled "Showtime" in San Francisco. The media has been invited, the rumormills are churning, and the Apple faithful are in a tizzy. ...

Banner for September 12th event?

by Scott McNulty (Sep 10th, 2006)

Here's the latest pic that is making the rounds in relation to the September 12th announcement. It purports to be a picture snapped by one of the employees at the venue that will house the announcement. I'm not buying it, but you know what they say, 'Don't shoot the messenger.' Thanks to everyone ...

Here we go with the Apple patent game again, and this time around it looks like we have blasts from the past and the future.

Ok, folks, it's wild speculation time. The rumors are flying around Apple's upcoming press event. Let's take a detour into fantasy land for just a moment and pretend that all of the supposed goodies come to pass: The new 23 inch iMac, the video-streaming Airport Express and the nanos with iPod ...
