Rumor: Steve Jobs Keynote-Ablauf bei Wikipedia

Frisch aus der englischsprachigen Wikipedia und definitiv unter Rumors einzuordnen, ist hier unter der Überschrift „Leaked 2008 Keynote“ ein möglicher Ablauf-Plan der diesjährigen Steve Jobs Keynote veröffentlicht worden.

Die Topics lesen sich recht glaubwürdig und, ob nun frei erfunden oder nicht, dürften den Spekulationen zur Keynote noch mal frischen Wind geben. Das der neue Mac Pro zwischenzeitlich bereits das Licht der Welt erblickt hat, lassen wir mal umkommentiert.

Den kompletten Text haben wir im Anschluss für euch.
