I will be the first to admit that this speculation is pretty far out there. But what would life be without baseless speculation, so here goes...

When Jobs demoed Tiger for the first time at WWDC 2004, he demonstrated spotlight with the search terms "imac," "birthday," and "paris." Eventually, people caught on and guessed that the new imac would be unveiled at the keynote in Paris in September - of course lots of other evidence pointed in this direction, with Apple itself almost acknowledging as much.

The demonstration of spotlight at MWSF 2005 involved lots of searching for "love" and "sunset." If one goes well out on a limb, one might wonder whether a Valentine's Day (or the Tuesday, the day after Valentine's Day) introduction is in the works. Of what? Could be a new powerbook - given the EOL news, but most other evidence points only ot a speed bump. I have no idea. I also don't know if "sunset" has any significance at all. It's a pretty good word to search for when searching a library of stock pictures. Maybe "love" falls into that category too, but it does seem an odd choice.

Any thoughts? The crazier the better.

I want a new PowerBook. I won't buy one right now because I want a new model.

Hope it's true that a new one will be forthcoming. It's time.

Although I risk incurring the terrible wrath of the Randman, I must say that I hope it's a G5 PowerBook.

Maybe instead of "Valentine's Day introduction," I should have titled it - "Will there be a significant product introduction around Valentine's Day?" Better yet - "Reading the spotlight tea leaves" or "Hidden messages in latest Stevenote that don't even require you to play the stream backwards to decode them." ThisGuy is probably right, though - probably nothing. But where's the fun in that?
