In other news today, the bodies of three Apple engineers were discovered hanging outside the construction site of the new Apple headquarters, with a sign nearby saying "Loose lips bring throat slits." No comment from the Cupertino tech company what this means. Police have ruled the deaths a firing.

The Police also found 7 disassembled Android phones lying nearby, with a note attached "Blasphemy!". Emergency response teams have fortunately been able to rescue and put together the phones in time, before any serious damage could be done to them, while disposing of the bodies of the engineers in an environmentally-friendly way.
Chief Android Repairing Officer commented that one of the phones - a Samsung Galaxy S3 managed to partly resist the horrible torture because of it's Gorilla Glass. The others were less likely: An HTC One S ended up with a broken screen. A Motorola Droid Bionic received 4 scratched on the upper body, and the older ones - a Sony Ericsson Xepria X10, a hacked HD2, a Samsung Galaxy Wonder and an LG Optimus 3D ended up losing their batteries altogether.
U.S. Department of Freedom said today that there is no doubt that the group behind the vicious attack is the famous "Apple" extremist group...

When you have a product that "accidently" leaks, it creates more buzz around the product.

And don't you think leaks help companies see the reaction of a consumer? I mean, I'm just saying.

Apple's strategy around secrecy works great to create a buzz. Of course they will stick to it.

My take away is that you will see even more (as in 2x, since Tim said they would 'double down') 'leaks' in the period leading up to product launches. It has been well-proven that the leaking just prior to Apple product launches is a deliberate attempt to churn the market and drive interest in what is about to be launched. All to drive sales of the latest iDevice.

Ha secrecy yeah right. Next thing we know we will see another stolen iphone prototype at the same bar and Apple will send their fake police to raid some poor guy home. N next thing we know its all a hoax just to hype up the iphone like they did last year.

Umm. Expect it to be at least 2 'stolen' prototypes.... They are doubling down, if you recall.

Double down secrecy?! Yeah right, look their product, the new ipad and this year, the new iphone. Maybe this double down secrecy idea will put at risk it's customers someday, they might install a software or a piece of hardware that will control their mind without their knowledge. I hope samsung will not supply this kind of hardware. So scary lol.
