Will Apple Disappoint on 30th Anniversary?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the omg-so-old-so-old dept.

An anonymous reader writes "We've seen the media get over-excited about an Apple launch before, but one CNET columnist is 'threatening suicide' if Apple don't announce something for their 30th Anniversary this Saturday. CNET is concerned at the lack of any news from Apple: 'You'd guess that Steve Jobs will at least have to walk out onto the lawn in Cupertino, light a few fireworks and make some whooping noises. It's that or risk an international incident.' Is Apple going to keep a low profile for their 30th?"

    Is there even a story here? This is possibly the most content-free Slashdot post ever.

    A suicide is not a light subject to be throwing it around like it's some joke...
    I'm as much of an Apple fanboy as the next guy (3 Macs at home, 2 ipods, 6 converts), but whose head is so far up Apple's ass that they joke about suicide?
    Apple has its schedule, and whether they celebrate their 30th anniversary is irrelevant to me. Yes, it would be great and hip, but they already have an outstanding product lineup.

    Also the poster for the iPhone looks pretty damn good.

    So yeah, wake the fuck up whiners and clean the brown from your face.

    It's Apple's 30th Anniversary, they haven't announced anything significant, and yet ...

    You are all discussing Apple and it's products.

    I'd say the RDF is working quite well.
