MacRumors receives many rumor submissions every month -- many of which, unfortunately, can't be verified. Independent rumors which are published are usually based on previous reliability or other corroboration.

Here's a list of items that never made it to the front page:

- Apple branded Presentation Software (iView?)

- Apple vs. RIAA... Apple/iPod/Music purchasing. Slashdot Anonymous Posts

- Apple to upgrade Firewire in 2003, and with the assistance of Panasonic, the Mac will be able to hook up to HDTV and burn HDTV to disk

- Apple 30" Display

- iPod II with Radio at MWSF

- Apple Tablet at MWSF

- New iBooks at MWSF (MacNN thread)

This list is published for interest's sake and should not be seen as claims or rumors from MacRumors.com.

A discussion thread inquiring about future Apple bus technology has been started in the forums.
