As The Last Podcast points out, there was a mini-Bitchmeme of sorts today on Techmeme. Everyone was going crazy about Apple “making” users install Safari with their iTunes update (as if un-checking a box were so hard). Naturally I wrote about it over at VentureBeat – if only to poke fun at it. However there is something much more interesting to the story.

Engadget dug up an Onion article from October 3, 2007 that predicted March 21, 2008 (today) as a date of Apple backlash!

Does anyone else find it a little odd that an almost complete BS story bitching about Apple hits the pinnacle of Techmeme on the day The Onion set aside nearly six months ago?

Spooky.
