A Passive-Aggressive Steve Jobs?

I have no secret sources to back this up — it’s pure speculation. But at the last Apple press conference (iPod), Steve Jobs allowed that there were some unkept secrets that had been leaked. So I wonder if Apple’s planted a red herring with all these “leaked” pics and video of the notebooks that will be released tomorrow.

What if the a model was made that went in a different direction than what will be announced tomorrow, or an old rejected prototype was photographed and fed to the rumor mills?

What if tomorrow’s spotlight on notebooks brings products that look nothing at all like the “leaked” items?

Then Jobs would be able to stand on stage, and smile, because his audience thinks he’s going to announce what looks like a pretty boring upgrade, and he can announce something totally different, and deal a friendly blow to the rumor sites.

That would please him tremendously I think.
