 		Apple rumor for 1/26/04
From appleturns.com:
Quote:
Over the course of the past two or three weeks, we've received several messages from viewers insisting that the truth about Apple's Next Big Thing™-- if not the What, then at least the When-- was subtly hidden within the recently-reworked version of that oh-so-historical 1984 commercial. No, we're not talking about the iPod that was digitally clipped to the runner's shorts, although we still get three or four messages a day from people who've just noticed. We're talking about the spate of messages (just one or two at first, but a whole hatful in the past day or so) which exhort us to load up the highest-res version of the ad, examine the frames right around the 41-second mark just before the hammer flies, shoo away any pesky black helicopters buzzing around, and look at the date in a Mulder frame of mind.

What we're supposed to see is that Apple has cleverly altered the date on Big Brother-Dude's screen to read "1.26.04," which is, of course, today's date, and presumably indicates that Apple has some super-special 20th-Birthday Mac or something which will be unveiled at some point today.

 		Actually, no. It was kinda a joke on my part to only post that part of the article.

If you read the whole thing, the author investigates the movie and finds the story to be false. (Which is correct - I watched the movie myself just to marvel at the extraordinary addition of the iPod)

The date on the screen is 1/26/84, even tho they tout 1/24 as the day things change at the beginning of the movie. But there's no mention of "04" in the film.
