I read two mentions of “kremlinology” in relation to Apple rumors over the last week; looks like the comparison was not abusive.
When he demonstrated the iPhone in January 2007, Jobs showed the favorites management of the phone application by adding Phil Schiller to his favorites and removing… Tony Fadell (at the 5:50 mark on the video). More than eighteen months before the head of the iPod division left Apple in one of the most commented executive switcharounds of the year.
Since it was the launch of the iPhone, and everyone must have assumed at the time it was coming out of the iPod division (which it didn’t, turns out, because Cocoa Touch won over the idea of another custom OS*), nobody thought anything of it. Well, nobody outside of Apple — I guess everyone on campus knew what that was about, and Fadell just spent all of 2007 biding his time, and hoping the iPhone would crash and burn.
