What to Expect from Macworld Tomorrow

Posted by pudge on from the finally-some-reasonable-rumors dept.

Steve writes "The Mac fellows at iThings.de have posted an entertaining read about what could happen on Tuesday at Macworld in San Francisco." That's pretty good. Also at the top of the reading list for such Apple rumor satire is Crazy Apple Rumors.

  1. I'm trying to figure out... by hitzroth · · Score: 2, Troll

    how people find this Onion-style hyperbole funny. It's low-brow humor marketed as high-brow humor, and as a result it's audience either puffs it's chest in an "I get it, I'm so smart" kind of way when there's nothing to get, or they believe that the stories are true and act accordingly. It's also rather formulaic and as a result doesn't take much creativity to produce a "news release"; just stamina to keep churning them out.

    Oh well, nevermind. I'm curious to see what's going to be announced. Hope it's something spiffy, like a new color scheme. Or a phone or a new PDA. Or a two button mouse with a scroll wheel. You know, something that will "change the industry forever". But then again, I'm still waiting for the time travel function I was promised in OS8.
