Given Apple’s anal zeal for secrecy, it’s pretty amazing that a commercial for its iSlate has already leaked out. And who would have thought that a French tech blogger would be the first to get a hold of it? It turns out Apple is using a catchy song that bemoans, "Someday I won’t exist." Odd choice. Maybe Apple wants consumers to embrace existentialism? Apple is also reaching back to the ’80s for that cool multicolor paint-splatter look best exemplified in the J. Geils Band’s "Freeze Frame" video. OK, OK. This is obviously a fake. Nice try, Pierre. Now let’s all wait a few hours to see what Apple’s really going to come up with.
