It occured to me, in hoping that
someone would break Apple's press gag, and report live on the keynote, how easy it would be to
fake it...
If someone were to log on to irc.macnn.net, and tell the #macnn channel that they were getting SMS messages from someone inside, they could easily fool hundreds, if not thousands, of people.
It would probably get written up on webpages, and have hundred's of people excited, over lies...
It would be the most Evil thing in a decade. Just be glad that I didn't do it
But think about how trivial it would be...
So, for tho
