Apple fanboys have been clamoring for it over and over again: “give us a tablet, for crying out loud”. We all know that the iPhone or an iPod touch doesn’t compare to a full Mac OS X experience.
People were looking for the closest thing to an Apple tablet, and the CrunchPad came out. Oh wait, it didn’t. It got killed before it even came out, and is now being sold under a really meh branding. “Joo Joo”? Really?
Anyway, it’s reported that Apple rented the stage at t the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco for late January.
According to Techvibes:
While both Apple has made no comment about the event, sources familiar with the event say that Apple plans to make a significant product announcement early next year.
The device is expected to be announced in January, where it will then go into mass production and be sold a later in the year. Very little is known about the device itself, but it is expected to have either a 7 or 10 inch screen. It is also expected to look like a blown up iPhone. It’s been reported as well that the tablet has been developed under the close eye of Steve Jobs himself.
Remember, it’s just a rumor, but who knows? I’m rather excited at the prospect of a blown-up iPhone working as an Apple tablet, running Mac OS X. Imagine what you can do with it. But then, I don’t remember a single tablet computer that did well. I can’t wait to see what Apple does with it and how they’ll redefine the market.

TechCrunch has found some videos of a purpoted Apple Tablet in action. It looks more like an expanded iPhone screen, and it’s probably fake. But we’re still hoping.
Anyway, the videos are below, and they look rather awesome to me.

Macintosh users should brace for another round of updates as Apple releases Security Update 2009 – 003 and Mac OS X v10.5.8.
The new updates address about 18 security vulnerabilities. Most of the identified vulnerabilities are considered critical and could have the potential of actually being exploited. For example, a vulnerability in the ColorSync profile could mean that opening a malicious image file will result in someone taking over your computer. Other similar flaws have been plugged with the new update. Among these is a potentially catastrophic vulnerability regarding AppleTalk response packets maliciously encoded that can execute arbitrary code execution.
You can access the update by visiting http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/.

Apple fanatics will be pleased to know that Apple has finally revealed the dates for the World Wide Developers Conference. The highly anticipated yearly event will be staged from June 8 to 12 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
Generally, Apple uses the WWDC as the platform for announcing new iterations of the iPhone. Expect to see more of the same for the upcoming event (we’ll finally see if the rumored OLED iPhone is true). Also to be highlighted will be the Mac OS X Snow Leopard, a new update for the vaunted Mac OS X. Apple fans are also highly anticipating a possible appearance of CEO Steve Jobs who has been on sabbatical to address some health problems.
