Steve Jobs To Keynote WWDC iPhone Announcement

Stoobalou writes "Apple's worst-kept secret will be revealed on June 7. A press release from Apple HQ has made it almost certain that the company will announce the new iPhone 4G on June 7, in our opinion, at least. The missive from Cupertino simply states that Steve Jobs will kick off the Worldwide Developers Conference 2010 with a keynote address. The thing is, Apple's enigmatic frontman doesn't turn up to these geeky WWDC shindigs unless he has something to announce that will get the hyped-up gang of Apple fanboys and girls a-whoopin' and a-hollerin'."

It's going to end up being a locked-down piece of proprietary shit anyway.

Yes, but it will be a shiny locked-down piece of proprietary shit, so people will still buy it :p

Wrong again.

It will be a magical, insanely great, shiny, locked-down piece of proprietary shit.

Get it right.

I think even people who once said I was being harsh on Apple are now coming around to seeing what a ridiculous and often impractical and restrictive company Apple actually is. In time, I think everyone will tire of it -- even the lay people.

Yeah, I mean, after ten years or dismissing Apple, the Slashcrowd has got to be right sooner or later

and I...

Lock eyes on you from across the room
Wander on over while the rhythms boom
Take you in my hand and skip the clerk's name
There's need here for the silly game
Make my way through the hipster crowd
The Apple store is the sky and I'm on your cloud
My fingers touch your screen and the angels cry
Zoom in close as the pinches fly

Leave this place, go back to the mall
My lips first touch outside in the hall
Is the whole night what we've got in store?
Whisper in my ear that you want to update more
And I jizz in my pants

Jobs is going to loose the smart phone wars

CRY HAVOC! and let slip the dogs of war - actually, I thought Google had just done that...

Or did you mean "*lose* the smart-phone wars" ?

Oh, and one more thing...

There is no going to be a iphone 4G, we had to let go all of the engineers involved in the project because of leaks... :-)

I bet you think people who bought bellbottoms and hammer pants bought them because they worked well for them.

Re:Great. :(

[whisper_jeff]

Jobs is going to loose the smart phone wars just like he lost the PC wars. My phone has a better resolution, a better network, tethering app, cheaper data plan, better data service...

*YAWN*

Sorry. Drifted off for a second there. You were saying something about it having less space than a Nomad and how lame it was. Please continue.

Then again I guess Kia, BMW, Benz, Chrysler, Renault, and Fiat are loosing[sic] the Automotive Market because they're not Toyota (1), GM (2) or VW (3).

Apple, the Kia of computer manufacturers. Best analogy ever.

... Have fun overpaying for your products! I'm glad you like getting reamed and boasting about it.

When I buy Apple, I buy an experience. I feel like I'm getting good value for money. They charge a premium for that Apple experience, which translates into higher per-unit profits.

I look at it as a win-win.

Clearly, it doesn't work for you. There are still plenty of commodity configs and components for you to choose from, so have at it.

But please, spare us "you are getting reamed" as if we don't know better. We do know better, that's why we buy Apple.

I could say "enjoy being a bottom-feeder and boasting about it" but I'm just too super-cool for that sort of condescension (that big word means talking down to you).

That People of Walmart [peopleofwalmart.com] site can't be that expensive.
