This Week's Rumor Roundup: iPhone, Twitter, MySpace

Published
Keep in mind, this week included April Fools ... so these rumors may be even MORE wrong than usual!
  • Google to pay more than $250M to buy Twitter?
    Wherever did they get the idea to pay lots and lots of money to gain a popular — but non-revenue-generating — website? Oh, right, their YouTube purchase! Surely THIS time they'll be able to monotize their newest acquisition!
  • Next-gen iPhone to have 3.2-megapixel camera?
    This rumor is based solely on Apple's purchase of the cameras from a manufacturer. What is not taken into account is the fact that the demon that Steve Jobs made the "wealth and fame" pact with requires large quantites of camera lenses as payment.
  • MySpace to offer webmail?
    I am TOTALLY going to try to get ToCatchAPredator@myspace.com.
  • New "Syndicate" game?
    Is 13 years too long to wait for a sequel? (And if you've just Wikipedia'd "Syndicate", then the answer is "yes".)
  • "LOTR Online" for Xbox?
    Why should PC gamers be the only ones who realize that the game is as boring as the movie and books?
Jeff Somogyi is dealnews' Media Editor. He is as boring as his movies and books.
