Now pointlessly enhanced with AI
As usual, there’ll be numbers of sites providing Apple event live coverage. For WWDC 2008, you can satisfy your Apple-lust from the followings:
I’ll add more if I’m awake or actually not slacking.
Between all the rumors and the thousands of echoes of the same rumors, being an insomniac and a tech-junkie is a torture to the (n*π)th level. Apple Worldwide Developers Conference 2008 is set to commence on Monday June 9th 2008 at 10:00 AM Pacific Time (17:00 hour UTC). For two weeks prior to the WWDC 2008, all the faux-journalists and parrot-bloggers have been feeding and repeating rumors over and over. I bet the “c” and “v” are a little bit worn out along with the “ctrl” and “command” keys.
*WARNING – RANTS ALERT*
one.
Please stop cluttering the feed with your mindless copy and paste posts about Apple and the iPhone. You know nothing about it, but at least don’t be lazy and useless for not writing anything for your post. Can’t you spend a few minutes to write a few sentences, and then quote the source properly. The “Report Spam” button seems to be fitting your blog so nicely.two.
Why can’t the more established sites treats rumors as rumors. Then again, it is the race to be the first to report the rumors in case of it’s being true. Shame on you! You are not journalists even if you went to some journalism school. You’re not a news site or anything remotely close to it because all you do are some stupid and juvenile posts. So please, start reporting news objectively.
*ENDS OF THE RANTS*
Well, where was I before the blinding rage against the copy and paste machine. Ah, WWDC 2008. I’d like to say that I have nothing that I can publicly disclose regarding the upcoming WWDC 2008 announcement. What I can disclose are things that I want to be announced, and they are:
Arrgh, I just can’t sleep right now. I’m so anxious. I’ll be posting a lot more Apple-related gibberish as the WWDC Keynote commences.
Until next time!
“Oh Your God! There’s some kind of leaked pictures of the 3G iPhone on that one website. Let’s repost that on the blogs now. There’s no need to think if it’s fake or not. It must be real.”
Basically, that’s what has been happening for the past 2 weeks as the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference is drawing near. The highly anticipated 3G iPhone has been the main topic of the internet chatters as fake news, rumors, unfounded speculations hit the tubes. As usual the most used keystrokes are “copy and paste” as colossal numbers of sites and “bloggers” reposting the same thing over and over. It’s an incestuous world of iPhone watch on the series of tubes.
Seriously, take all the incoming “news” (read: rumors) with a boulder of salt. Does anyone remember the months before the actual iPhone was announced in January 2007?
“The iPhone is made of Zirconium, and it will have two batteries. Oh, It will employ CDMA instead of GSM, blah blah blah, blah.”
Kevin Rose and Leo Laporte fell for the fake informations and made them public. No one is safe. In addition to that, Engadget’s Ryan Block fell victim to a faked Apple internal memo that caused Apple stocks crashing for a short time.
So please, treat rumors as rumors, not as fact; unless you’re working for CNet or Gizmodo.
If anyone is still reading this far, here’s some fake iPhone news that you can’t find anywhere else:
The iPhone will now come in three distinct models. One for the masses, one for the Apple zealots, and one for Steve Jobs. GPS module is included in random unit.
It couldn’t be anymore made up.
Honestly, I don’t know what is really going on right now. Apple .Mac IMAP has been having problem the whole day. First the SSL connection was refused, and now all IMAP are down. I couldn’t even access .Mac mail through the webmail interface.
I can only hope that Apple is revamping .Mac for the better right now as many of the so called “tech-journalist/analyst” has been saying for the past weeks.
I want to keep the @mac.com email, don’t change it to something stupid like @mobileme.com or even @me.com as rumored.
All I can say based on the information given by the completely made-up and imaginary source who is allegedly working at Apple Cupertino office:
“Great things are coming along. Some of your wishes are coming true. In addition to that, expect great changes in the Apple ecosystem. iPhone, iPhone, iPhone, and Mac.”
OK, I’m sold. Now I want the new iPhone in my hand no later than June 29th, 2008.
It is too obvious that many “Tech Analysts” are simply spewing gibberish and trying to present them as facts. One year soon will pass to the iPhone day, June 29th, 2008. In the meantime, the “interweb” is filled with more of the same things over and over again. In essence, one site is quoting the other while many bloggers simply did the “cut and paste” plus some personalization to the non-story. Some well known tech-blogs are simply making stuff up based on the available informations.
“The iPhone 2.0 is coming, The iPhone 2.0 is coming!”
Eventually, the “iPhone 2.0” will be released. It is the question of exactly when. Let’s make up a news item right now.
“Captain Obvious is calling!”
It doesn’t take genius to put together all the “signs” and come up with some crazy speculations that many people would believe.
In addition to that, there are some “tech-analysts” making some stupid statements regarding the product that does not officially exist yet.
Déjà vu!
It’s June 2007 all over again.
One particular idiotic “tech-analyst” was talking about the iPhone which he didn’t even have. Criticizing the iPhone for its material. Don’t you think that Apple engineers know more than you, Mr. “tech-analyst” extraordinaire. You haven’t had one logically sound statement since the day you called yourself a tech-analyst. In addition to that you are completely biased to the point where the masses believe that you are taking payola from companies. Please shut the ASDF up and get yourself a job at your local fast food establishment.
Then, there’s one or two or more “journalists” who are suffering from the “I know more than you because I’m always right” syndrome. We all know that you are in the pocket of certain corporations, even if you’re actually volunteering yourself to them. How can you say that everyone else is wrong and you know exactly what those companies are thinking. You always bragging that you got all the “internal for-your-eyes-only” memo. You are working for them, and please stop calling yourself a journalist. Call yourself as you are; spokeperson of that particular company.
The other type of “tech-journalist” that should stop whatever they’re doing right now are the ones don’t know anything about technology but pretending that hey do. Because you have some journalism degree? That doesn’t mean a thing. You have been contradicting yourself on record, and still won’t admit it. Being a journalist, you should have been taking a non-partisan stance when it comes to reporting the news. We don’t want to hear your opinions. You admitted that almost everything you touch (use) are somewhat having problems because you generate some kind of magnetic field that disrupts electronic devices. Even with such admissions, you singled out certain products (from certain companies) for being “turd” (pardon the language). You had not even use or even see it in person. Then, after you’re actually using it, you complained that the product was always broken because it’s simply “crappy”. Don’t you remember you said that you are the cause of all the failures in the electronic device you’re using? Please shut the ASDF up. I hope the big company who acquired your employer would fire you.
This rant is getting longer, and I still have a lot more ranting to do. To the point!
Just because you used to work for a huge technology-based company, doesn’t mean that you know everything. You’re a shill! I am not reading your blog, or anything that you’re saying. Please get a real job and stop thinking that you are so important.
I should end this rant because I need to get some sleep. Before that, let me say something that is completely made up:
The second generation iPhone is going on sale on June 27th 2008.
