That theory makes a lot of sense except for one thing: ASOTV isn't just pretending to know what's going on. He really knows. He makes predictions that turn out to be true. Like his pre-announcing of the details of the new version of Motion two weeks before NAB.
He does seem to have Job's style, doesn't he? Lots of Slashdotters have criticized him for being arrogant, and he definitely is. But he also really knows his stuff. I haven't seem him be wrong yet. And he's not afraid to stick the middle finger up at the Slashdot conventional wisdom, as he did here with the "no video iPod" thing. He's obviously not karma whoring. And he's obviously not astroturfing, because he ADMITS working for Apple.
He's a legitimate insider. Only question is, who? I really love the Jobs idea. It almost seems like the sort of thing he'd do, doesn't it?

I've never seen ASOT refer to himself as "ASOT." I think we're dealing with an impostor here.
The leading theory right now is that you are a technical writer at Apple. Would you care to comment on that, ASOT?
Why do you think that? Please come to my journal and share you're theory!
