Update: As of 6:55AM PT, the Apple store is down pending update.

Apple rumors are never clear-cut, but they’ve never been as weird as they are today. It all started when Dan Lyons, a.k.a. Fake Steve Jobs, dared Daring Fireball’s John Gruber about a host of new Apple products due to be unveiled today.

Gruber quickly replied with a short tongue-in-cheek article, listing some interesting products Apple may or may not have prepared for us, depending on whether you buy into the whole rumor game. The list is as follows:

- redesigned plastic MacBooks
- redesigned iMacs,
- updated Mac Minis, including one that’ll ship with Mac OS X Server
- multi touch Magic Mouse
- a new multi-touch trackpad gadget for desktop Macs

Although an Apple Tablet is nowhere in sight, this list contains some pleasant surprises, especially the multi-touch Magic Mouse (remember Microsoft’s concept multi-touch mice we’ve written about recently? It seems that Apple has one-upped Microsoft once again). Is it all true, or is it just an elaborate pun set up by Lyons and Gruber? We’ll have to wait a couple more hours to find out.
