"Light and slightly contemptuous mockery or banter"


Thanks to the CIA-grade secrecy that surrounds all goings-on at Apple, the rumor mill always works overtime just prior to any scheduled Apple event. This year, with the recent surprise announcement that CEO Steve Jobs would not be keynoting at the annual Macworld Expo Monday, there's even more prognostication and persiflage to cut through.

Cool word, huh? Persiflage. I confess: I had to look it up.


Macworld starts today at the Muscone Center in San Francisco, which means the new year is officially about to start. Lots of rumors are in the mill, of course - my votes go for an upgraded Mini and an online iWork software suite. Nothing radically new is in the cards, I'm guessing, but there will be, as always, significant cool.
