Over the holidays, several revelations came to light about the fabled Apple tablet computer — which, even to this day, Apple hasn’t admitted exists. The revelations: One, Apple has rented a stage at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, where the company is expected to make a big announcement on Jan. 26 or 27. Two, in a flurry of online investigations, MacRumors, courtesy of a tip from iPhone app developer Mark Gurman, reported that Apple owns the domain name “iSlate.com.”
