“A Macworld wouldn’t be a Macworld without a supposed leak of the keynote speech, and this year is no exception. Cropping up in, of all places, Wikipedia is what’s supposed to be a rough outline of a draft of Steve Jobs’ speech,” Technovia reports.
“None of [this leaked keynote speech outline] sounds too off the wall, although that’s no guarantee that it’s real. What’s interesting is that it includes the Mac Pro refresh that happened this week, so – if it’s real – it’s obviously a quite old draft,” Technovia reports.

Potential Spoiler Alert: The purported leaked Steve Jobs’ 2008 Macworld Expo keynote outline is here.
For whoever said it has already been edited, you just have to go and look under the history tab and you can still find it….but it’s boring. I can’t believe that a 16GB iPhone is the biggest surprise (given that the new MacBooks have been talked about for ages).
MDN is slow today. I cannot even get to the login page!
Anyway, here is the link to the history copy of the Wikipedia entry with the “leaked” keynote.
This could be another Apple sponsored search for leaks.
Heads may roll. or not.
Or it’s a disinformation ploy.
Your guess. Your choice.
A MacBook thin would be more proportionally expensive than the standard issue MacBook. If they use one of the rumored solid state “hard” drive, those things are MUCH pricier than a standard disk drive!
I’m quite surprised at the number of posters who are convinced that there is going to some sort of sensational new revelation at Macworld.
I think they’re going to be disappointed.
Even Apple can’t bring out a new product without some sort of leakage, and the iPhone, of course, was no exception. We all knew it was coming. If there’s a completely new product coming out, where are the leaks from the production side, i.e. from China?
There have been enough leaks from Asia about the production of the parts for the new ‘slim’ notebook. That’s why I and many others believe this rumour.
I hope I’m wrong, but I just can’t believe there’s going to be some new revolutionary device coming next week.

This statement disproves the not. as we know this is not correct specs.
There’s a least one company in northwest Washington state that has already made and distributed 79,000 copies of that Wikipedia page.
This leak is bogus.
Where are the sales figure numbers? You think Jobs has them memorized? They would be in the text.
All these forgers had to do is copy any one of the past keynotes Jobs has given and filled in the blanks with their fantasies.
Nice!!!
Developers, start developing, I want to buy your Apps! First I need nice Terminal, the one like Google has.
And most of all, Skype.
I will pay the top price, $6.99 that is.
Oh, and nice job on source code Steve, security is #1 concern.
Lame. “One more thing” wouldn’t be YouTube in iTunes. Steve wouldn’t focus on the color of the power cord on a new MacBook. And no MBP update? I’m sure his notes look better than that anyway – and more brief and cryptic – something only Steve could understand.
It this is real at all, it was probably an initial draft by some lackey back in November. Steve has since fired that lackey.
” . . . and filled in the blanks with their fantasies.”
Which is why I wondered why “moving out of mom’s basement” and “scoring a torrent of Duke Nukem Forever” wasn’t on the list.
@ Macaday,
“can you tell me the basis for making your breathless statements about something ‘unexpected'”
Well, I met womeone who’s in contact with an insider. And it sounded like Apple is on the verge of taking the all industry by storm with something that is probably going to transform the industry. A new way of using the computer is coming…
Now Galvron said that “Even Apple can’t bring out a new product without some sort of leakage”. I would say “True” !!! But all those rumors about a Mac Touch, an ultra slim and portable device, or even an iMac docking, etc. might be hint of what’s coming.
Somehow, I suspect that SJ doesn’t write “Greetings! Welcome to Moscone Center” at the top of his outlines.
O, you got that right. And the “one more thing” is not sexy at all. It’s not like if it was something like video chatting with Apple TV made possible. You know what I mean? Like video chatting from your couch or even totally control your computer content from your couch…. This type of enhancements…
The all thing is a fake.
Sorry have to call fake on this one.
LETS ALL HOPE APPLE HAS MORE UP ITS SLEVE THAN THIS BORING CRAP!
MMS, MULTIPLE SMS AND CUT & PASTE ON iPhone Please!!!
We are reading exactly what Steve wants us to read, you know? —ChrissyOne
Does that mean that Steve Jobs is really… gasp… Big Brother?
Thanks for answering Mac+.
Now I’m at least happy you are genuine and not the troll I thought you might be!
Now it just has the word “cock” everywhere
Steve appears to be infatuated with COCK.
You actually think Steve writes his stuff? Haha..
You actually think Steve writes his stuff?
You actually think we actually think Steve wrote a rant about COCK? Hurf durf.
Good work.
Still waiting for those “top secret” features in Leopard
