So much space, so little news
If you didn't see Media Watch last night, you might like to check out the transcript that The Australian IT section no doubt wishes would go away. They took as gospel, a blog entry that was intended as anything but.
Of course, the way technology moves these days, it's increasingly difficult to distinguish satire from reality, but the fact that the "story" is catalogued by Google under "Don't believe everything you read on the Internet" should have rung somebody's alarm bells. And there was that warning on the About page: "It's little more than a site with various curious Mac things. Probably mostly old, perhaps a few new, and the occasional completely off-topic article that I find interesting. I reserve the right to stray completely from that formula :). I may even just make stuff up for the sake of posting it. Be warned."
Mind you, judging from the comments, it fooled a lot of Mac users too.

We Mac users will believe anything - at least we will get upset about anything. We get upset and angry and indignant way before we think about checking the facts.
I'm still kicking myself that I didn't buy a cube. It wasn't the greatest Mac ever but it may well have been the best looking.
