15-inch Macbook Pros “out of stock” at Best Buy
Best Buy, one of Apple’s largest retailers, is listing the 2.4 Ghz 15 inch Macbook Pro as “sold out” according to Electronista. The base 2.2 Ghz version is listed on back order for 1 to 2 weeks. This is an odd situation that many would consider an indication that the much rumored Peryn based [...]
Google gets their mind blown by amount of iPhone searches
On Wed Google announced that they have seen 50 times the amount of searches from the iPhone over any other mobile device according to Apple Insider. The number was so staggering to them, in fact, that they had to double check the numbers to make sure they were accurate.

What is it about Apple that inspires irrational speculation?
If its one thing that is constant in the “cult of mac” its irrational speculation. I have been guilty of it myself a time or two, and its a phenomenon that I have yet to fully understand.
