Apple has benefited from rumors, but it's not like them to leak something like this.
http://www.cracked.com/article_18377_5-reasons-you-should-be-scared-apple.htmlThe third article forebodes what happens to those who let Apple information slip. For those who do not feel compelled to click the link, I will just shortly explain the content of the third article:
The article references the tribulations of Sun Danyong, a Chinese employee of a partner company of Apple. Danyong was given the task of overseeing the handling of an iPhone prototype, he loses it, and then is tortured by his company under the frenzied realization that if he is not presented to Apple as a scapegoat that everyone in the company would have to sell their souls to Steve Jobs as compensation. Danyong, fearing the cruelties Steve would subjugate him to, decides it best to jump from a 12th story window into the cold, yet-not-as-unfeeling-as-Jobs concrete.
Oh and another thing, for those who have Apple hardware, according to article one; Steve Jobs submitted a patent recently for an automatically initialized program that would on occasion (probably every thirty minutes) cause the machine to interrupt and play ads over whatever program you were running at the time. These adds will also be designed to be forcefully-interactive: the user has to provide input during the course of the unclosable ad to prove that he/she is paying attention or the system will lock down the machine for several minutes, after which the user will have to watch the advertisement over again.
