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.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
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

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.
Go green: turn off your refrigerator.
... 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).
