This Week's Rumor Roundup: Apple, TotalMusic, Android, more

Published August 8, 2008

A couple of rumors to fill that rumor-shaped void in your soul:

Apple to let you stream everything to everywhere?
Imagine a world where you can use a handheld device to listen to music! Revolutionary!
TotalMusic to return from the dead, compete with iTunes Store?
The "big four" music labels joining together in one music store? Sounds like some sort of awful, price-gouging, consumer-hating Voltron to me. (And the RIAA forms ... the HEAD!)
Android delayed - again?
Nope. Turns out it's a conspiracy involving Apple fan-boys and poor journalism. Uh huh. You could say that about EVERY rumor!
Goonies Sequel?
Yeah yeah yeah, it's not a tech rumor ... but which socially-awkward, tech-loving geek among us does NOT rank this movie in their top 10 of all time? Yeah. That's what I thought!
