Apple’s “Come see our latest creation.” Live Coverage links.

As usual, a lot of eyes will be glued to the screen during Apple Special Event. This time it would be no different. Apple’s “Come see our latest creation.” event begins at 10:00 AM Pacific Time on Wednesday 27th, 2010

Most of us do not get any invitations from Apple to the Special Event at Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco, thus we can “participate” by going to on or more of the followings:

I’ll add more links as they are found.

The “fake” info:

According to an imaginary source who claimed to be a high ranking Apple Executive that is definitely not Tim Cook, this new Apple “creation” would have the following:

  • 6.75-inch x 8.72-inch dimension, thickness was not disclosed.
  • 6.375-inch x 8.345-inch screen size.

So far, that was all the info given by this all-made-up-mysterious-Apple-Executive who is definitely not Phil Schiller. Remember that the nimber given was not an accurate measurement of the device itself due to some rounding errors.

Apple has been leaking out some fake info and we were foolish enough to report it even though we know they are fake. It will be narrower then the dimension we reported earlier. This we know, the new device Apple will be revealing on Wednesday will have the Apple logo in portrait orientation just like the iPhone. All in good fun.

More About The Apple New Creation, The One To Be Revealed On January 27th, 2010.

More misinformation from the imaginary source who claimed to be an Apple Executive who is definitely not Phil Schiller. The new device that is the new Apple Creation would:

  • have rounded corners.
  • have a default portrait profile, based on the orientation and placement of the Apple logo.
  • have an Apple logo at the back of the device roughly half the size of the one on MacBook Pro.
  • have no iSight or any front facing camera, because it is not practical.

Remember to take what you read with a boulder of salt, because Apple has allegedly leaked fake information in the past.

Other fake info about this Apple New Creation:

  • roughly one-half inch thick.
  • has some interface ports (USB?).
  • has SD Card slot.

Well, that’s all for now. Remember to tune in to the Live Coverage of “Come see our latest creation.” special event on January 27th, 2010. As usual, you can find links to the live coverage (in)conveniently linked here.

Take that Apple-rumor-sites!

The New Creation That Apple Will Reveal on January 27th, 2010 Is…….

Don’t call it “iSlate” because that name is so un-Apple and was used by Apple’s own for misinformation. Apparently other companies are taking the bait by renaming their tablet PC as Slate.

According to an imaginary source who claimed to be a high ranking Apple Executive that is definitely not Tim Cook, this new Apple “creation” would have the following:

  • 6.75-inch x 8.72-inch dimension, thickness was not disclosed.
  • 6.375-inch x 8.345-inch screen size.

So far, that was all the info given by this all-made-up-mysterious-Apple-Executive who is definitely not Phil Schiller. Remember that the nimber given was not an accurate measurement of the device itself due to some rounding errors.

Anyway, Check back for some fake information about the fable Apple device that could be some kind of tablet-like computer.

Remember that Apple will be holding the “Come see our latest creation.” event on January 27th, 2010 at Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco.

p.s. Thake that Walt Mossberg, David Pogue, Leo Laporte, John Gruber, Andy Ihnatko, MacNN, AppleInsider, Ars Technica, Endgadget, Gizmodo, MacRumors, Kevin Rose, Kerry King, James Hetfield, Dave Mustaine, Scott Ian, Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien, NBC and Fox News!

A Call To Arms……. VLC Needs Mac OS X Developers.

vlc

The news of possible end to VLC development for Mac OS X caused quite a stir today. Based the Forums post, at this point there are no active VLC developers for Mac OS X.

VLC is a multimedia player with supports for many audio and video format. It is also a required component for Handbrake feature to work.

Developers who can donate their time are desperately needed to keep this project going.
