There's something funny about Apple Rumors. They spring to life seemingly from nowhere, causing a frothing of mouths from pomaceous fanboys and a rising of stock prices. There's something even funnier when you're well aware of the source of the rumor, and even more aware that the rumor was an off-handed sarcastic comment.
Such is the case with this latest iPhone rumor. What started as one of Merlin Mann's humorous comments on an episode of MacBreak Weekly a few months ago has generated no less than a page worth of posts on digg, and just won't seem to die. Even when there isn't a shred of validity to the rumor, it lives on like a corpse-devouring zombie. Well if truth were the corpse, and Paul McCartney was the zombie.
I guess in retrospect, it's not incredibly funny at all.
