The geek world thrives on rumors and gossip, like a big real-life, dorky version of Gossip Girl. Secret photos, screenshots, and info pretty much always get leaked (which is hardly a bad thing for the company at hand).
This year, many rumors turned out to be the real thing (like the rumblings about iPhone 3Gs, MacBooks, and iPods), but the most fun ones are almost always the ones that get debunked.
Some I wanted to be true (still holding out for that iPhone Nano), some were sad (questions of Steve Jobs' health that led to his death being mistakenly broadcast), some seemed likely (the Microsoft-Yahoo merger), and some got smacked down with such virility that you wondered if having a Zune really was that bad for the image.
Some may even still come true in 2009 (Kindle 2.0 and the iPhone on Verizon, perhaps?), but for those wily rumors in general, I say: Thanks. You make my job fun! So tell me: What's your favorite rumor of '08?

I'd go for Steve Jobs' health/"death"...even my father was talking about it, and the man doesn't even own a cell phone or a computer!
1Obama being a zune user was hilarious! And I wish the iphone would come to verizon already!
2Totally the Steve Jobs mess!
3I'm kind of offended by the whole Zune thing actually.
I mean, the fact that they wrote it out to be some blasphemy.
4omg pleaseeeee let the iphone be coming to verizon be true!
5Wow, how I wish there were affordable jet pack rumors. Le sigh.
6the iphone nano thing is interesting cuz I'm so curious to see what it would look like... small iphone? what nano generation?.... I dunno!!
7iPhone for Verizon, I'm hoping this will come true!
8i had to say the iphone/verizon one - since we all know that there was soooo much debate about that one to begin with. it's really kind of funny if you think about all the rumors that are flying for any number of different topics.
9iphone for verizon. I would most likely a get an iphone through verizon.
