Every time I hear the Gruber-coined term claim chowder, I think of this post:

“Is Apple serious competition?: Palm CEO Ed Colligan seems downright nonchalant about rumors that Apple may introduce a mobile phone to market in the coming year.”

And:

“We’ve learned and struggled for a few years here figuring out how to make a decent phone,” he said. “PC guys are not going to just figure this out. They’re not going to just walk in.”

Delicious.

Now follow the headline link, where Jean-Louis Gassée shares some Apple Arm claim chowder. Not quite as momentous as that original, quoted above, but an interesting read, nonetheless.

Side note: I find it interesting that “Claim Chowder” has an entry in Urban Dictionary. Also interesting: Go into Wikipedia and type claim chowder in the search field.
