Breaking News: iPad canceled
March 31, 2010 by Beatweek
In what will surely come a disappointing surprise to the hundreds of thousands who pre-ordered the device and were expecting delivery on Saturday morning, Apple has quietly announced that its iPad tablet computer has been canceled due to what CEO Steve Jobs termed “over-interest” on the part of the public.
According to Jobs, who called it the “hardest decision” he’s ever had to make in his tenure, “While we know that a lot of people were looking forward to the iPad, Phil Schiller and I realized last night that the public’s unprecedentedly high level of expectations would mean that the iPad itself would never be able to meet those expectations.” He went on to compare the hype surrounding the iPad to the Guns ‘n Roses Chinese Democracy album, which was released fourteen years after it was first announced and failed to live up to ever-heightened expectations, and stated that everyone who paid money for an iPad pre-order would be refunded in full on the first of April.
No word on whether those who bought Chinese Democracy will be eligible for a refund.

LikeThe problem with "believable" April fools stories is that too many people end up believing them on a permanent basis. A few years ago we did a "Rick Astley cover story" on April 1st, and even as obvious as it was to some people that they were about to be rickrolled, some people still write in today asking where they can find our Rick Astley interview. In today's world of chaotic firehoses of misinformation, I think it's best that we not add to the pile of "things that were obviously meant as a joke but ended up being permanently believed anyway" :-)
