Here are the latest Apple-related rumors from the blog-o-sphere:

“With Apple rumored to be interested in releasing new Macs with superfast 802.11ac wireless connectivity this year, a new job listing by the company advertises a position for engineers experienced with Gigabit Wi-Fi.” — “AppleInsider” (www.appleinsider.com)

“We’ve been asking around for weeks about possible external candidates for Apple’s senior VP of retail job, and have heard largely the same thing, and a few names to boot.” — “AllThingsD” (http://tinyurl.com/b9jn8a3)

“Apple has updated its online store iMac page to note that new 27-inch iMac orders will ship in 3-4 weeks after ordering. This timeframe likely puts new deliveries into early-to-mid February depending on shipping options. Apple no longer says that 27-inch iMacs will ship in January, making it all the more likely that new orders will land in February at the earliest. The 21.5-inch models continue to ship in 7-10 business days.” — “9to5Mac” (www.9to5Mac.com)
