More rumors are trickling out in the days before Apple's notebook media event scheduled on October 14th, 2008.
EdibleApple reports that Kevin Rose revealed a new rumor at a live recording of the Diggnation podcast (not yet available). According to the report Rose said that the new MacBooks will support Blu-Ray drives.
Meanwhile, Jason Calacanis founder of Weblogs, Inc, claims that Apple is working on a networked television.
These LCD HDTVs will be fully networked, with the ability to stream all your iTunes content from your Mac or PC. In fact, Calacanis told me they'll function like a standard TV with an Apple TV box, only without the need for the box.
Weblogs, Inc was the original parent company for Engadget and was sold to AOL for an estimated $25 million in 2005.
Rose was recently quite accurate in his iPod and iTunes predictions for Apple's September event. We've never heard a previous rumor from Calacanis, so it's unknown how accurate his sources tend to be.
