Apple to expand iMac LCD display. The company will introduce an iMac with a 17-inch monitor at next week's Macworld Expo in New York, according to sources. [CNET News.com]

No way. A news leak already--a full week before MacWorld? It makes sense, though. A 17 inch screen would really make the new iMac come of age. I foresee a new form factor for the minitower "Quicksilver" Mac, myself--it's about time. And I predict that Apple will come out with something surprising in line with its digital hub strategy--a new peripheral or enhanced iPod. Apple didn't put handwriting recognition technology into the Jaguar OS for nothing--they have a plan.

Yep, armchair prognostication is great, isn't it?
