April Fool — Steve Jobs Fooled Us All
I guess Steve Jobs is chuckling to himself having fooled everyone today.
At Macworld in January, Jobs suggested Apple might do something special on April 1 – its 30th birthday.
Knowing that announcements of announcements stoke the fires of speculation, Jobs got everyone expecting something special from Apple — but the April Fool’s joke is to do nothing at all.
I know I’ve just spent the last three hours surfing the web for a special surpise announcement, like a new $666 Apple Uno (a kit-built computer), or a lightning “everything must got for one dollar” sale at the local Apple store.
“Ha, ha– fooled you!” Jobs is saying to himself.
Bastard.
