You just have to love the informational vacuum surrounding Apple these days, which is so strong it's just gotta be an Oreck. Whenever any "early news" sneaks out of Cupertino, Apple's incredibly efficient official naysayers immediately go on record to suck the data right back inside the company walls. For instace, just days after the net was ablaze with reports that Apple would name a new CEO within four to six weeks, Apple officially denied those rumors, according to a Newsbytes article.
It's perhaps a disservice to call the four-to-six weeks timeframe a "rumor," though, since it came straight from the mouth of the guy at Apple's recruiting firm heading up the search. Or, rather, the guy who used to be heading up the search, if Apple's as displeased as they seem about his willingness to talk to the press. Nevertheless, an official Apple spokesperson denies that the search has been narrowed to four or five candidates, and states succinctly that there is "nothing new to report."
Oh, well. As far as AtAT's concerned, you can take your time, Apple; we're plenty happy with Steve in the driver's seat. At least with him, the show's never boring.

But even if you haven't, you'll hear all about these new beauties soon enough; a recent CNET article signals the advent of the "mainstream" press that will cover the next generation of Apple laptops. According to CNET, all of the new Powerbooks will be based on the same logic board when they are unveiled this spring... 448: Lost in the Mail? (2/13/98) In a snub that will echo throughout the ages (or at least until we get distracted by a bright, shiny object), Republican Senator Orrin Hatch has neglected to invite Steve Jobs to his committee on competition and the Internet...
