Seitz has created a monster. This 160-megapixel 6 x 17 inch camera might be slightly, well who are we kidding, MUCH bigger than your average point and shoot, but at 160 MP, it could create prints the size of Mars. The camera itself looks like it takes an effort to lift. You have to figure it must be pretty heavy.

One full res image taken with this Seitz camera will take up 900 MB of storage! That means that the memory for this camera needs the help of an entire Mac Mini, just to provide some room for the giant size. And even that can hold a pretty limited amount of photos. The high-end model of the Seitz camera costs a whopping $44,414. Be prepared to sell any small countries you own if you want it. — Andrew Dobrow

Sources are reporting that Apple might soon be making more changes to their product line by the end of June. Supposedly, Apple is ditching their 17-inch iMac displays for the more rotund 20 and 24-inch monitors.

The new displays are rumored to be Cinema Displays, which would wipe out the 17-inch iMac as the entry-level Apple computer, leaving the Mac mini as the least expensive Mac product. — Andrew Dobrow

In lieu of the recent plethora of Apple and Mac related rumors, here’s a cool little web rumor mill. We spotted this really funny rumor generator while sifting through the Internet plankton. The Apple Rumor Generator takes a series of Apple derived words, and generates a rumor for the occasion. Here are some of the rumors we’ve created:

A confirmed source has advised us to expect a 8 Core Mac Mini or Flash based iPod in the NAB 2007

An operative deep inside Apple has advised us to expect a 16 Core Mac Pro or Wifi Enabled iPod Shuffle in the NAB 2007

Our Apple informant has given us this exclusive news about a 16 Core Macbook Pro no later than Fourth Quarter 2007

An Anonymous tipster has confirmed earlier reports that we will see a Sub iMac at WWDC 2007

One of our spies has advised us to expect a Redesigned Macbook in the Second Quarter 2007

Mmm…randomness. — Andrew Dobrow
