Oh, hateful Mother Rumor, leave my bedside and leave me be. lLounge is fussing about why Apple released their updated iMacs and Mac Minis before the big even on the 12th. They’re even going so far as to say that this will be a life-changing moment for the world at large and this could usher in a new era of peace and prosperity unheard of in all the centuries of man’s existence on earth.

Strong iPod sales, best Mac lineup in history, and promises of bigger things to come? Yup. We’ve said it before and will say it again: we think this event, and its ramifications, are going to be big. iPod fans, keep your fingers crossed and your wallets at the ready.

It’s an interesting bit of commentary and little else, but I don’t think there’s enough Apple information on this page so I wanted to top it up a little.

iMac, mini drop before Showtime – why? [iLounge]
