Steve Jobs' Macworld Expo keynote has been leaked. Well, sort of, and assuming it's not Fake Steve Jobs' Fake Macworld Expo Fake Keynote, of course. Here's the transcript - you decide...

There's certainly no reference to the anticipated MacBook Air - though skinny, metal consumer MacBooks are listed. The already announced Mac Pro update is there. And a lot of this stuff is exactly what any Mac buff would have suggested.

For the record, the text comes from blog Void Inside, which claims to have spotted it on Wikipedia.

Real or not? We know what we think, but how about you, dear reader?
