Walter Issacson's Steve Jobs biography, though[url="http://gizmodo.com/5869247/siri-is-just-the-warm+up-act-for-what-apple-has-coming"]rumors about upcoming technology[/url] to a[url="http://gizmodo.com/5872501/whats-happening-at-apples-nyc-media-event-this-month"]hotly anticipated media announcement later this month[/url].[/size][/font][font=Georgia, Times,][size=4]

The newspaper has [url="http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/story/2012-01-03/apple-tv-CES/52364952/1"]reported[/url] that an anonymous Apple employee and two television industry sources claim Apple are having "problems" securing the deals they want.[/size][/font][font=Georgia, Times,][size=4]
