A few years back, I remember reading this strange riddle which mentioned various Apple code names and arbitrary phrases.
I remember 'Rosetta' among other things being mentioned, so for curiosity sake I dug it up at the
appleinsider forums.
Here's the Riddle:
"A little bird told that Trinity shall return, after eating pie, more voluminous than a dolphin..."
"El Capitan's hamartia shall lead to Trinity's return and its rise to the throne, Its little brother shall rule in the great desert where the dolphins roam."
"The filling shall reveal a crust made from the Rosetta Stone."
"When the third sucessor of Artemis shall eat pie in the great desert, Artemis' twin shall rein with the agile Mercury and the obstinate Mercury before being eaten by the goldfish and this shall signal Trinity's return."
Some of the babble like the refference to 'Dolphin' could be in reffernece to the PPC Gamecube back then.
And seeing as Rosetta has actually materialised in the form of emulation for the intel trasition, I wondered if anyone on these boards knew what some of these other names may be in refference to?
Its highly likely that it was simply attention seeking, but interesting to speculate nonetheless. Its not impossible to say it may have been someone within Apple or associated with Apple who decided to leak some information in this psycho babble form?
