Scobleizer hints at "dizzying amount" of new Apple products
As I write this, I'm still contemplating the implications of getting Apple tips from a former Microsoft evangelizer's blog, but check this out as I philosophize for the afternoon: The Scobleizer (yea, the one and only), dropped a huge (yet unfortunately vague) hint of what Apple has up their sleeve: "Speaking of Apple, they are readying a dizzying amount of new products. I wish I could camp out at an Apple store during the World Wide Developer Conference on August 7th". Apparently (we're trusting you on this Ron!), Mr. Scoble's brother actually works for Apple, which is why he also goes on to decline commenting any further for fear of the Wrath of Jobs™.Hey, Mr. Scoble, you can spill some juicy tidbits. Apple gave up on that case for ousting that other blogger; why not give it a shot?
Thanks Chris G.

oooh. Busted for a typo. I cringe.
Actually I meant 'vacuous' cycle.
As in get a life.
And I much prefered my "plasm TV" typo anyway. Though "fandome" cracks me up every time as well.
As for Schadenfreude, I have never met a Windows user who did not possess this attitude towards Mac users to some degree. Perhaps I need to hang out with a better crowd.
I think you're finally using that right.

Bob's inane comment inadvertently lead to what I call "instant karma": where one receives the instantaneous embarassment of one's doltish actions, such as Frank's and now my subsequent comments. I need not reword Frank's statement for it says it all, but I do like poking fun at people who like to poke fun at people (and yes, my hypocrisy is purposed).

Tell me more about this "viscious circle." Is that a fictional circle? Oh, wait. Maybe you were talking about a vicious circle. Sort of like this one in which you pick upon the grammar of others. Mellow out, and check your spelling before you make a snide remark.
Norm-
Tell me more about the "viscous cycle." Is that the one that runs on STP? Oh, wait. Maybe you were talking about a viscious circle.
"Camp out at an Apple Store during the Keynote.
Sounds like a good idea."
Not really, in your case. It's usually only the SF store, right around the corner, that is fully stocked post- WWDC or MacWorld announcements.
Schadenfreude, eh? That's quite lateral. Do you really think he would go to such lengths?

So. Let's think about this. What is the most devastating affliction of Apple Fandom? Post Keynote Letdown Syndrome (PKLS). It afflicts thousands who read the blogs and rumor sites and get their hopes up for a plethora of amazing earth shaking products â except 95% of the rumors turn out to be wrong. (Personally I liked Jason O'Grady's little faux rumor about HD Plasm TV Macs at last MacWorld... humorous and meant to be). Sorry for the digression. But let's say you are a sadistic Windows fanatic (i'm not characterizing Robert Scoble here, just talking in abstracts) but wouldn't this Windows fan take great pleasure in stoking the fires of Mac Fandom's desires for new products at WDC Keynote, knowing that in the end most of them won't come true and Mac fandome will suffer a brief bout of depression; until MacWorld SF 2007 is in site and the viscous cycle starts all over again.
Wow, David. You think he might have been, uh.. joking about that leak thing? No need to get all tense.
