I got an newsletter type email from Apple yesterday stating that Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac is available now to preorder. So, that’s one of the ‘highly anticipated’ news confirmed.

“Many blogs and media are biting, including people who should know better.”

Like Erick Schonfeld and Techcrunch? It’s not very helpful to point fingers at others passing this rumor along as “should know better” if you then turn around and share it yourself.

Who cares? It was written on a Talk page. Talk pages are for discussing article content and as such are only read by Wikipedia editors. “plays on people’s trust of Wikipedia to spread rumor” – whatever trust Wikipedia’s articles have does not apply to its talk pages, which are very clearly marked as places where people post their opinions, not as sources of information.

If this had been added to the article and left there for more than a few hours (which it wouldn’t have been) it might be newsworthy. Or if it was a particularly good hoax, but it isn’t – the author clearly gets bored a quarter of the way through and gives the game away with repetition and stuff no professional would write.

i guess we’ll see tomorrow. for everyone who’s already trashing this you might just restrain yourself for a bit. remembered what happened to the ipod nano leaks that everyone blasted? it became true. im not saying that these speculations are true, but they could be. so stop yourself from getting too embarassed when this becomes true, okay? just my 2 cents.

The part about Cocoa on the iPhone has some problems. For one, WTF are they doing with UIKit? Possibly, some runtime magic bridge. But then there’s the swiping API. Need to extend Cocoa to support it. But then, how do developers test it?

I just can’t wait til Steve announces the “kid sized” iPhone. My four year old really needs one.

I can see something like this (strike twitter) happening at WWDC, but no way could this even possibly be construed as a Macworld keynote. Steve tends to avoid dorky developer stuff in January; thats more of a June kinda thing.

Word has it that Jobs will wear a navy blue, mock turtleneck while giving the keynote. Not a black regular turtleneck as had been earlier predicted. And sandals. He’s wearing sandals, with toenails painted, because he lost a bet to a friend.

I guess that the MacBook Touch thing is not meant to be announced this year… Will it ever be?

The guy who claims to have written it apologizes here: http://dyo-ecks...1/14/apologies/

“Long story short: I wrote it for a few friends of mine from MacHeist as a little joke. One of them, who I’ve identified, put it on Wikipedia, and it spread from there.

I’m sorry about the whole thing.”

The killer mistake is the ‘launch iphone in Japan with DoCoMo’ – without realising that that would of course also mean 3G, since there ain’t no GSM in Japan.
