Apple tongues go a-wagging

According to the unofficial Apple Press Office, known as MacWorld, the page contains a "tantalising teaser" that has gotten "tongues on rumour sites and Web site discussion boards wagging".

And this "tantalising teaser" appears to be the phrase, the "first 30 years were just the beginning, Welcome to 2007".

We have to admit that if Apple had been going for 25 years or even 28 then this statement would be extremely surprising. However since the company was founded in 1977, we can't find anything teaserish about Apple reminding everyone that it is 30 this year.

Likewise, if this was 2006 or even 2008 that Apple was welcoming us to, this would give us great cause to suspect that the there is some form of clever marketing campaign waiting for us around the corner.

However we can't see how a 30 year-old company can 'tease us' by welcoming us into 2007. All we can assume is that Apple fanboys are easily aroused.

MacWorld seems to think that the phrase might be a clue to what Apple Messiah Steve Jobs might be revealing at the Macworld Conference in San Francisco soon. If the phrase does, then it seems that the writer of the da Vinci Code must have missed a trick. Turning a jotting by Leonardo into a Catholic plot to cover up the wife of Christ is nothing by comparison.

Even if you take the phrase and divide by your shoe size you are not going to extract iPhone from that comment. µ
