"ON MONDAY, three representatives for the software giant told news agencies, including The Associated Press, that an April 30 news release trumpeting the “iLoo” was a hoax and apologized for “any confusion or offense.” But on Tuesday, the company reversed itself, saying the iLoo was real but now has been killed.
