Methinks it is an April Fool. If you look at the time on the article it says 25:15 GMT!!!

That's what I think too...
the cnn.com thing does make it sound very convincing..
hahhah....maybe i should post it on the Macworld forum.
Somehow it kinnda reminds me of the tv show 'Early Edition'

it is a nice trick to play on people though. Its just one of those loop holes that need sorting.!
