Speculating on yesterday's news, the New York Times is reporting that Apple will announce an end to DRM on iTunes.
Apple is expected to have new laptops in the hopper that contain the latest generation of Intel chips. It has also promised a software development kit for the iPhone this month.
If indeed it has Linkin Park on the program, that would imply a music announcement as well. At some point, Apple needs to work out deals to get rid of digital rights management limits on all the music it sells. But some labels, notably Universal Music Group, have wanted to give Amazon.com a head start in selling unrestricted MP3 files to build it into a competitor to the iTunes Store.
