News
  Lion due out this week?
    Lion should be here soon
      Gold Master build was seeded last week.
      Some sites put the date at July 14th, due to schedule retail store "overnights" on the 13th.
      New hardware may also be quietly introduced.
      Macbook Air seems to top the list, but alos Mac Mini, Mac Pro, and Macbook updates have been rumored
    Apple made changes to the EULA that will allow users to run up to two additional virtual copies of the operating system.
      Snow Leopard only allowed virtualized OS X instances using Server
  iPad 2 Plus coming in the fall
    The "Plus" term was put forth by FBR Capital Markets analyst Craig Berger
    The main update centers around a higher resolution display
  More of the same in iPhone 5 rumors
    The Wall Street Journal
      New design. Thinner and lighter
      8 Megapixel camera
      Qualcomm World capable wireless chipset
    4G is rumored not to be in the new device. Currently would require a second larger chipset.
    Rumor of a second cheaper version of the iPhone
      Some say Apple will continue selling 3GS possibly free with subsidy
      I think we will see the iPhone in the role the 3GS currently plays
      Last show I also put forth the idea of a redesigned iPod Touch with 3G chipsets which I think may be the most likely concept. May only offer data and not phone bits
        With iMessage and Skype, etc it may not be needed
  iOS and iTunes more HD'ified
    Apple might be getting ready to add a couple HD+ (1080p) titles to iTunes
    2 or 3 studios have title reportedly slated for the trial
    References for 1080p encoding and decoding have been found in iOS 5
    New A5 powered Apple TV 2 to support it
    Mini Display port to HDMI cables may be recalled
      HDMI Org, the licensor of the HDMI standard says current Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cables must be taken off the market because they are "unlicensed."
      HDMI licensing requires HDMI cables with male HDMI connectors to be male on both ends
      MiniDisplay Port to HDMI adapters are OK because they have a female HDMI connector and require an HDMI cable to connect to a TV.
    Some reports of 10.6.8 update breaking digital audio
      Owners of Mac Mini based Home Theater system seem to be most vocal about the issue
      Optical and HDMI audio reportedly drops out completely and only a full reboot restores it.

Feedback, Comments and Commentary
  Another OS X Mail "conversations" trick
    Conversations will be part of Lion, but you can do some things now to simulate some of it's functionality
    Last time I covered a listener tip using Smart folders, Andy has another method that is both simple and versatile
      1. Select you inbox
      2. Hold down the command key and select the corresponding sent mail box
      3. All emails in both mailboxes will appear in the same window, turn on threading and they also group in threads
    Best of all it works for any combination of "mailboxes" or folders in the left hand column
      Good for me as I actually archive my sent messages to another mailbox.
