hi I'm Emily Dreyfuss and I'm Korean levy and you're watching rumor has it the show where we round up the week's biggest tech room and then we vote on what sounds a jit what seems like it'll never happen and you guys can vote with us look out for the pole in the interactive player if you're watching on cnet first up the daily sites to anonymous sources within Facebook saying that the social network is on the verge of creating a new classifieds listing technique which would let you put ads on specific friends news feeds Facebook would charge a fee for some types of ads the advantage of using this over something like Craigslist is that this is specific to people you know or their friends so then if your company is hiring or you need a roommate it might be worth paying for when reached for comment a Facebook rep told CNET that Facebook is not working on a product like the one you described of course that doesn't mean anything I think that this is a smart move for facebook using word of mouth essentially the targets news feeds for specific friends I find it a key it suddenly puts us on the same level as those get thin in two weeks ads or the beard beanie next it seems that Apple might be taking a page out of google's book The Wall Street Journal reports that apple quietly started a program that gives some of the company's employees two weeks to work on projects that aren't part of their job it's supposedly code name blue sky this goes against apple's image as a company with a top-down management structure side projects suggest the move toward a culture that would foster independent projects that could make their way into larger products just like google's program which gave us gmail and google reader in a follow-up report the journal noted that blue sky may not be a long-term thing adding that it was tied to scott forstall awkward apples former senior vice president of software who recently left the company hold on to something steady this next rumor is going to rock your world if you're into the over-the-top super hyped Apple rumor kind of thing a Chinese news site is reporting that Apple will drop three brand spankin new products in the first half of next year and not something boring it inconsequential like a new airport express no the site claims will see a new iPhone a new iPad and something called the ITV china time says it is spoken with industry sources and though that sounds sketchy China times was right about the timetable for the iphone 5 but don't get too excited the new iphone it's speaking of is not the iphone 6 it's the iphone 5s which means that it will probably be the exact same thing plus Syria will now sing or I don't know yes obviously the exciting part of this rumor is about the ITV but that's also the most vague a couple things it could be it could be a simple update to apple TV or the set-top to DVR cable box we talked about a few months ago or it could be the most majestic tech unicorn of them all an apple television set with itunes and airplay built in which we've been hearing rumors about for a year who knows as for the iphone 5s i'm going to say that it being tested next year is possible but i wouldn't think that apple would release it until the fall when iphone 4s people will be out of their two-year contracts right because the iphone 4s was announced in october two thousand eleven and that came nearly a year and a half after the iphone 4 i would totally disrupt its own product schedule if this were true and people were pretty upset when it did that with the ipad 4 so i think they'd be loath to repeat it or wait Who am I kidding Apple never learns its lessons and really doesn't care what we think and what do you guys think most importantly is the iphone 5s coming to us in the first half of next year and what about a new ipad and what do you think an itv could be don't forget to vote and leave us a comment on the rumor has it blog we asked the cnet council about the iphone 5s release the cnet council is composed of five editors who cast their votes anonymously their opinions are not an endorsement by Cena or CBS interactive obviously because these are rumors folks and the cnet verdict is a unanimous no we got four nose and one hell no they do not think the iPhone 5s is coming out early next year that's our show everybody please share your rumors at rumor has it at cnet com or call us at 1 800 750 cnet and tweet us and tune in next week for more tech rumors you
