All the fake spy-photos from Apple pre-Macworld keynote were circulating around like venereal diseases. Then the cry-wolf-poster-boy with initials &#8220;J.C.&#8221; was making up the whole Apple Television set rumor in mid 2000&#8217;s. The rumor has gone full swing since the release of Walter Isaacson&#8217;s Steve Jobs biography, saying that Jobs &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/briancaulfield\/2011\/10\/21\/steve-jobs-on-tv-i-finally-cracked-it\/\" target=\"_blank\">finally cracked it.<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Apple &#8220;accidentally&#8221; created a watch with the release of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/support\/ipodnano\/6th_generation\/\" target=\"_blank\">6th generation iPod nano<\/a>.

It&#8217;s all about imaginary products that could make imaginary revenues. All based on rumors.<\/p>\n<p>Apple files a lot of patents and lots of them never made into real products. Lots of them take years before implemented into real products.
