Journal, Opinion and Rants!
Why are people keep quoting DigiTimes? iPad 3 in March then an iPad 4 in October 2012?
Well, it’s the beginning of the year and someone needs to make stuff up.
In 2011, the iPad 3 was rumored to come in the Fall and we all know how that panned out.
According to an Apple employee, the next iPad is not what people expect it to be. While providing no specific information, this Apple employee laughed when “Retina Display iPad” was mentioned. The last words were: “You don’t want to wait for the iPad 3 you’ve been hearing about.”
It is pretty apparent that this Apple employee just debunked a lot of the rumors on iPad 3. Let’s all not hold our breath for the “Retina Display iPad” for now. Even if the next iPad would have 2048-by-1536 resolution, it would only be at 264 pixels per inch. It would be a “Retina Display iPad” if the screen size would be a bit smaller, let’s say something like an 8.5-inch screen.
Then again, this “iPad 3″ might be dubbed as a 2011 Tech Flop by Taylor Hatmaker, because it doesn’t have 3D display and cannot be used as a hat.
The headline reads: “Apple scrambling to launch iPad 3 on Steve Jobs’ birthday”
That sounds like bullshit to me. Of course the Apple-centric sites are echoing the rumors because it is passable as Apple news.
“Don’t want to sound like a dick or nothing,” “a local Chinese-language newspaper” is not a credible source. There have been tons of rumors crediting “a local Chinese-language newspaper” in the past years, and almost all of them are just rumors.
In addition to that, a high level Apple executive who shall remain anonymous was overheard mentioning that March 2012 would be the planned release date for the next iPad. Apple is not scrambling to launch iPad 3 on Steve Jobs’ birthday.
If you are a paranoid, you should immediately abandon anything you have made by Apple. Throwaway your iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, Magic Mouse, Apple Keyboard, etc.
Since you’ve just read it on the Internet, then everything you could fear must be true. Someone just reposted the content from someone else’s site on a blog.
If you are an opportunist, this is the perfect time to bash Apple. How dare Apple become a popular brand? I use [insert a branded product here] and it is a million times better than Apple ever made.
If you are another type of an opprtunist, you should file lawsuit against Apple right now. You don’t need to have all the facts as long as you’re making headlines.
If you are a paranoid and an opprtunist, you definitely should stand on a soap box. After doing so, get yourself any attorney who would file lawsuit against Apple. You don’t need to know the fact because once you do you might not be able to sue.
Since everyone on the Internet is saying that Apple is definitely tracking your iOS movement, then it must be true. To make matter worse, Senator Al Franken (D-MN) and Representative Ed Markey (D-MA) have sent queries to Steve Jobs about this issue. Adding insults to the injuries, thousands if not infinite numbers of bloggers are busy wearing out their “C” and “V” keys reposting the story over and over again. Apple must be the bad guy, right?
What are you waiting for, its time to abandon Apple. Throw away your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Buy only Android/Windows Phone 7/webOS/Blackberry/etc. that is non Apple devices. Please do panic now.
In related news, Google captured your password while taking pictures of your house. Please do panic!
Please do panic!
I need to take classes in sarcasm.
It is April 3rd, 2010 and Apple has been sending out the email about iPad being here. Let’s see. I did not pre-order one. I don’t really want to get one right now. I do want to go to an Apple Store to take some pictures and videos for the launch day. It is 2:10 AM and I’m tired. Went to see Bad Religion at the House Of Blues and I’m so spent. Still can’t sleep even though I’m so tired.
I’ll see if I have the energy to go to the Apple Store around 7 or 8 in the morning. The store opens at 9:00AM.
