Kevin Rose Thinks He Knows.
Posted 08/26/2008 at 3:06:52pm | by Florence Ion

Fall is fast approaching and you know what that means—a plethora of crazy Mac rumors inundating the internet.

Digg founder and beer guzzler, Kevin Rose is hot on the tail of, yet another, Mac rumor that will excite n00bs and faithful Apple fans alike (whether or not it is true is another thing entirely). This Week in Tech features Rose as a guest discussing the allegedly upcoming, September 9th announcement of brand new iPods, including a 4th Gen iPod nano.

Separate releases of what are apparently prototype images for the new iPods also appeared on the internet (but really, they appear to be 3D replicas of every other Apple product that’s been out in the last year). Rose also believes he carries knowledge about one of the new features in iTunes 8.0, which he said will arrive in tow with the new iPods.

Rose has had a shaky history with rumors, which is why many are casting doubt towards his latest claim. Not to mention the fact that he drinks on the job. Lucky guy.

I don't think this is accurate. Mac|Life's reporting on it is great, but I hardly think what Kevin Rose is saying holds water. Sorry to be a hater, but I can't see why this is the only picture ever seen of it. If you remember with the iPhone 3G rumors, tons of images showed up, with only a couple being close to the real phone. ..::tbird::..

I know a guy who knows a guy who says the Nano pics that are floating around ARE the correct form factor. He's got pics of his own, but I haven't seen them myself, unfortunately. But I've been told the source is credible... and isn't Kevin Rose.

No way...

The only difference from the 2G Nanos is the tapered edges and elongated screen. I think it looks alright.

Apple has this sort of 'outer space' aesthetic qualities to some of their products now- just look at the UI of Leopard or the aluminum iMacs... TIME CAPSULE?

Then again... all of this is assuming that this rumor is true.

Thirty years old and single, Beatrix Potter lives in London with her social-climbing parents, who are exasperated that she has turned down any number of eligible young men. Her only real friends are the animals which since childhood she has lovingly drawn and made up stories about. She finally succeeds in selling a book of the stories, and it becomes Norman Warne’s first project. He quickly falls in love with both the book and Beatrix and together they carefully arrange publication. This proves the first of many successes, offering her the possibility of escaping from both her parents’ way of life and London.
