From my own stomping ground at World of Apple:

A report from the Wall Street Journal suggests that Apple may hold a special event to coincide with the return of Steve Jobs in late-June.

While Mr. Jobs has been on sick leave, some Apple directors have gotten weekly updates about his medical condition from the CEO’s physician, according to a person familiar with the matter. Mr. Jobs’s recovery “is coming along” and he is on schedule to return to work later this month, said this person, who has seen Mr. Jobs in recent weeks.
WSJ cites sources who have ties to Apple senior management who told them that the company is trying to co-ordinate Jobs’ return with a product launch.

Much of the buzz appears to be conjecture of the type that has swirled around Apple and Mr. Jobs for years. But two people who do business with Apple said senior Apple managers have told them the company is now trying to coordinate Mr. Jobs’s return with a product launch or public event.
The article does not cite when the event would be or what product would be launched alongside Jobs’ return.

Now to my family and past few readers and my new reader Tom Reestman, get yer booties over there where you can actually read things where I am being serious. Or at least pretend to be.

The truth or yet another Luddite? From Bind Apple:

A few years ago, exactly July 9, 2005, Ed Smith, wrote an article about Apple computers, about iPod technology, to be more precise, called Generation iPod. I really don`t know if he was paid by Apple or not, but I read the article, and I love it. The man is awesome, like Apple is too, but in the article he says something that I liked very much: “ Therefore I Am, is a part history of Apple computers, part autobiography of Dylan Jones, the editor of GQ and an iPod junkie”. Not only he talk about Apple, but by a hole generation, the iPod generation. He is making reference to a new world, a world that takes us away both from friendship and imagination.

[and "hole" generation? Please proofread your work.]
