"Leaked" Keynotes
By definition, all leaked keynotes are bogus. That doesn't mean, however, that they aren't an artform unto themselves. I used to adore the fake iPhone concepts that "leaked" before the real one toddle along and I don't think I'll soon lose my love of the fake keynotes. Various TUAW readers have been tipping us off to the latest round of faux keynotes including that Wikipedia one. (Of course, the bit about refreshing the Mac Pro "today" is kind of a give away since the Mac Pro was refreshed last week.) In any case, what are your favorite "leaknote" products that you've read about this year? Let us know in the comments. I hold out hope for the Nike Air Phone, bringing back the glory of the "Get Smart" shoe phone.

That would be totally awesome. Don't really believe it, but I wish!

Same. What a cool concept that would be, but I imagine it would raise a helluva lot more bioelectric questions than cell signals and bluetooth.
It has to be in the future though...

What I really want to know is if the Get Smart-like Nike Airphone doesn't come to fruition, will the people behind that rumor say, "Missed it by THAT MUCH!"

Never gonna happen. If it leaked, it's because Steve leaked it. He's probably one of the few CEOs out there that actually writes his own material.

Long story short - I wrote it, a friend posted it on Wikipedia against my wishes - yes, it's fake. A longer explanation here: http://dyo-ecksdee.com/2008/01/14/apologies/

Am I the only one who thinks this writer is retarded? What an airhead. Find a new line of work... maybe something you're halfway good at... (not writing or anything technology-related...)
