Back before every computer marker around was producing all-in-one machines; Apple had its line of iMac computers. There were rumors going around that the new line of iMac computers would have Blu-ray players. In a case of a rumor spawned by a rumor, we hear today that Blu-ray was pulled from the new iMac line shortly before the machines went into production last month.
AppleInsider figures that the Blu-ray drives would have been expensive options only available on custom ordered machines anyway, but there are sure to be those out there wanting Blu-ray on their iMac. The new iMac rumors also point to the possibility of the line getting new and fast Intel Core i7 CPUs.

The rumor has the machines getting a Core i7 Clarksfield quad-core mobile processor as an option. If this rumor pans out, that would make the iMac the first consumer oriented Macs with four processing cores. The mobile quad-core i7 parts are available in speeds of 1.6GHz to 2GHz.
