Derived from Adam Lashinsky’s Inside Apple, rumors spread of “fake” engineering projects within Apple, crafted to expose leakers. Not quite, reports Jacqui Cheng: “Our own sources acknowledged that Apple may not tell an engineer what project he or she is about to work on until the time comes, which is what Lashinsky was talking about in Inside Apple. Lashinsky clarified that the “fake” projects line didn’t come from him but secondhand from an audience member, who had himself heard about it from a friend.”
