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 &#8220;c&#8221; and &#8220;v&#8221; are a little bit worn out along with the &#8220;ctrl&#8221; and &#8220;command&#8221; keys.<\/p>\n<p>*WARNING &#8211; RANTS ALERT*<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>one.<br \/>\nPlease 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&#8217;t be lazy and useless for not writing anything for your post. Can&#8217;t you spend a few minutes to write a few sentences, and then quote the source properly. The &#8220;Report Spam&#8221; button seems to be fitting your blog so nicely.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>two.<br \/>\nWhy can&#8217;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&#8217;s being true. Shame on you! You are not journalists even if you went to some journalism school. You&#8217;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.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>*ENDS OF THE RANTS*<\/p>\n<p>Well,  where was I before the blinding rage against the copy and paste machine. Ah, WWDC 2008. I&#8217;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:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Announcement of the new iPhone and its immediate availability. I want new iPhone to come out shy one year of its initial release. My iPhone has been great in taking tons of abuse. I can see scratches here and there, and some white spots on the screen. Yeah, I use the iPhone as a phone and then some. There&#8217;s a point where I could no longer use it and completely protect it at all time. In retrospect, the iPhone is quite tough. I have been happy with it, but it leaves me wanting more. I want GPS, I want more applications. Faster data network is in the &#8220;that&#8217;s a nice feature to have&#8221; list. Most importantly, I want to see a relatively distinct design for the new iPhone. One can dream, and I want iPhone: Steve Jobs edition.<\/li>\n<li>New release of the Xcode is definitely coming, and there are some nice new features on it.<\/li>\n<li>I need to get a new MacBook Pro that looks different than the current incarnations of MacBook Pro. I know that the MacBook Pro models were refreshed just a few months ago. Apple ha been working on the redesign of their portable line, I can&#8217;t wait for the new revisions of the portable Macs.<\/li>\n<li>New Macs other than the Mac mini, MacBook, iMac, MacBook Pro, and the Mac Pro.<\/li>\n<li>I heard of some chatters about .Mac sometimes in August 2007. Supposedly Apple will be adding some features to the .Mac including iPhone supports. I want my iPhone to be able to sync with .Mac and my computer wirelessly.<\/li>\n<li>I want Skype, SlingPlayer, iChat, etc on the iPhone.<\/li>\n<li>New Mac OS X feature. To be honest, I was happy with the annual or 18 months releases schedule of Mac OS X.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Arrgh, I just can&#8217;t sleep right now. I&#8217;m so anxious. I&#8217;ll be posting a lot more Apple-related gibberish as the WWDC Keynote commences.<\/p>\n<p>Until next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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*\u03c0)th level.
