Fun with Apple!
In which a misinformed blog posting causes stock droppage (maybe), panic (yes), and wank (definitely).

The chain of events goes something like this:

Engadget: ZOMG! The iPhone and Leopard are going to be delayed! Internal email says so!
Apple haters: IN YOUR FACE, APPLE!
Apple fans: Bullsh!t! Show us proof!
Apple stock: *thud*
Apple: Um, just one good goddamn minute. No. Not true. Here's an official press release and everything.
Engadget: Um. Oops. Sowwy.
Engadget commenters: *lots of shouting, including taking Engadget to task for printing something unsubstantiated*

Good times.

Mostly, I'd really like to see Steve Jobs's face right now -- I'm sort of surprised I didn't hear the blast in Cupertino all the way from Texas. And I'd really hate to be the Apple employee(s) who leaked the fake email to Engadget.

I'm aware off it, yes. Though it doesn't look like they know about that one yet.

Actually, they posted about it a little while back. General consensus was he probably meant 'love', but he couldn't just come out and say it on TV. The Genius, being a genius, figured it out anyway. ^_~

Did you know that the UK has their own Mac vs. PC commercials with a different PC and Mac?
