MacWeek had a front page rumor on this in the most recent issue.
Since I have no idea whether or not any of it is true, I will only be
pointing rather than telling.  Front page rumors do, however, seem to
map slightly better onto reality than other rumors in this bastion of
press release journalism.  

One surprise in this article was the lack of any mention of the Mr.
Coffee interface.  One rumor, which I am starting right now, has it
that the Mr. Coffee interface will not appear in HC 2.0, but will be
released as part of the Caffeine Manager in a later version of the
system software.
