This is a good spoof of Steve Jobs' response, funny! Here are some screen shots I have found.

My thoughts: Apple might have done something like this on purpose. Steve Jobs loves a big show. And how many more people are going to be interested in the WWDC now. I mean the WWDC is a show for programmers. There is going to be a delayed webcast of the keynote (otherwise referred to as the "SteveNote") plus all the Apple Stores will have the "SteveNote" piped to them. This smells fishy, I say this is Apple marketing at its best. Apple has other things up their sleeves. "Panther" or OS X 10.3 we know about, that is the reason WWDC is being held so late. But what about a new PowerBook? With all the rumor (and non rumor) sites a buzz about the IBM 970 and the G5 that puts questions about a new PowerBook in the background for a day or two. And that is all Apple needs. The WWDC keynote is Monday. Who knows. Maybe all we will get out of WWDC 2003 is a first look at 10.3, but Apple usually plans for tricks.

Maybe they did fire someone over this?
