Now pointlessly enhanced with AI
Apple is set to hold its first event at the Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park today, September 12, 2017.
With the recent leaks, one can only wonder if Apple would have any surprises at all. According to an Apple employee who is definitely not Phil Schiller (@pschiller), *wink-wink*, there is one definite surprise for the event. There are some who call it a “preview”.
Apple will be streaming the event live at Apple.com and Apple TV.
File this one on the “Stupidity Knows No Bound” file.

7 things Steve Jobs would have hated about Apple today
Luke Dormehl (5:00 am PDT, Jan 7th)
Unless Cult of Mac’s Luke Dormehl performed a seance and spoke to the ghost of Steve Jobs, who passed away on October 5, 2011, only then this post would make any sense whatsoever.
No surprise from a “publication” that hires Mike Elgan.
October 5, 2014 marks the third anniversary of Steve Jobs‘ passing.
Ste Jobs died one day after Tim Cook-lead Apple introduced iPhone 4S, iOS 5 & iCloud.
Apple:

Steve Jobs did certainly dent this universe.
From Sony Press Release:
Sony and Japan Industrial Partners Inc. (“JIP”) today concluded a memorandum of understanding confirming the parties’ intent for Sony to sell to JIP Sony’s PC business currently operated under the VAIO brand.
I just had the conversation about Sony VAIO computers last night. I almost bought a Sony VAIO PC as my first computer ever back in college. Throughout the years I owned two high-end Sony VAIO notebook computers, before I bought the first MacBook Pro in 2006.
In recent news, it was revealed that Steve Jobs offered Sony to run Mac OS on VAIO computers.
The original iPod was introduced at Apple Campus by the late Steve Jobs on October 23, 2001. It went on sale on November 10, 2001 and retailed for $399 MSRP.
Twelve years later, the iPod pre-ordered on October 23, 2001 is still in my possession. It still works.
I loaded a collection of Christmas songs from iTunes Music Store which is the latest cash-grab-attempts by Bad Religion, aptly titled “Christmas Songs“.
I used this iPod for many years until I got a free iPod mini in the Summer 2004 thanks to Apple’s “Back to School” promotion.
Yet another death knell for journalism as we know it.
From Bloomberg:
Apple’s Planned ‘IWatch’ Could Be More Profitable Than TV
Let’s see what’s wrong with this piece of bullpie journalism.
First, the Apple TV set which should not be confused with Apple TV, has been rumored since early 2000’s. All the fake spy-photos from Apple pre-Macworld keynote were circulating around like venereal diseases. Then the cry-wolf-poster-boy with initials “J.C.” was making up the whole Apple Television set rumor in mid 2000’s. The rumor has gone full swing since the release of Walter Isaacson’s Steve Jobs biography, saying that Jobs “finally cracked it.”
Apple “accidentally” created a watch with the release of 6th generation iPod nano. As the first idea of iPod nano watchband was uttered, it became a hit. Rumors of Apple “smart watch” hit another high point as AppleInsider uncovered Apple’s patents that might be used in creating “iWatch”, a newly fabled Apple product.
Both Apple TV set and Apple iWatch are nothing but rumors; yet Bloomberg has the gall to run with the story. It’s all about imaginary products that could make imaginary revenues. All based on rumors.
Apple files a lot of patents and lots of them never made into real products. Lots of them take years before implemented into real products. Where’s the LCD Display has camera embedded in it?
What’s next?
The hypothetical Apple Car could make Apple a lot of hypothetical revenues?
From Apple.com:
A message from Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO.
Steve’s passing one year ago today was a sad and difficult time for all of us. I hope that today everyone will reflect on his extraordinary life and the many ways he made the world a better place.
One of the greatest gifts Steve gave to the world is Apple. No company has ever inspired such creativity or set such high standards for itself. Our values originated from Steve and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple. We share the great privilege and responsibility of carrying his legacy into the future.
I’m incredibly proud of the work we are doing, delivering products that our customers love and dreaming up new ones that will delight them down the road. It’s a wonderful tribute to Steve’s memory and everything he stood for. – Tim
