Repeat of the iMac leak?

[Anonymous Coward]

When the last big rev of the iMac got released (flat screen), Time mag. leaked all the details something like 12 hours before Steve officially intro'd it. Obviously, Jobs had a cow over it -- they stole his thunder!

I wonder if Newsweek just pulled the same stunt by mistake?

Man, I just would not want to be anywhere near Steve Jobs right now...

Out of the ordinary

Apple's marketing department is the best. Not many vendors can get their products announced to the target audience before they officially exist, but Apple keep making front page news on slashdot. Here most of the readership are in their teens and thus are a perfect match the products intended demographics. It's marked up as news and not as the ad it really is. This is a marketers wet dream.

Best of all, you don't even realize your strings are being pulled. You think you're outsmarting Apple and reading something they don't want you to read.
