iPhone 3G Rumor Accuracy Check: We Were Right(ish)!

Last Friday, we rounded up and judged the most colorful iPhone 3G rumors floating around the tubes. Now that Steve has spilled the beans, I bet you're curious as to how accurate our thinking was. Turns out we were pretty much on target with our verdicts. More »

How To Launch an Apple Product in 5 Easy Steps

Ladies and gentlemen, after hours of studious dissection of Apple keynotes (requiring countless YouTube clips, a non-linear editing program and a pile of empty Hot Pockets boxes that reaches our ceiling), we've figured out just how Apple "does it" and presented "it" to you here. Launching a new iPod or iPhone isn't about the new-fangled technology; it's about the showmanship. And here are the five, snake-charming ways Steve Jobs lures you to buy a new version of what you already have. SPOILER ALERT: It may involve comparing things to pencils.

Apple Reveals WWDC Plans; Keynote Set for Monday, June 9

Today Apple revealed its plans for WWDC, confirming that the Jobsnote this year will take place 10AM PST on Monday, June 9, rather than the usual Tuesday. (No word as to whether the turtleneck will still be black, or if the 3G iPhone will actually be present.) The WWDC will of course have two separate tracks, one for iPhone and one for OS X. More info at Apple's WWDC website, or in the press release after the jump. UPDATE: Some things we tend to forget repeatedly around here—WWDC keynotes are always on Monday, Macworld Jobsnotes are the ones that are always on Tuesday. My bad! More »

The End of an Era: Steve Jobs Says Only One Boom!

A lot of you have complained about Steve's "Booms" in the past. Old. Tired, you say, especially in our cartoons. Well, judging by yesterday's keynote, the Apple head man thinks the same. Compare and contrast yesterday's miserly tally of one "Boom!" to last year's bumper crop of 15 B-words. So, what word should El Jobso start repeating like a Tourettes-addled teenager now? More »

Do You Really Think the Macworld Keynote's Leaked on Wikipedia?

Seriously? We weren't going to post anything on this, but lots of sites seem to be picking it up. Do you really think that Steve Jobs would let his keynote be leaked, and on Wikipedia of all places? The keynote that many of his own people don't even know about? We've even heard about employees who worked on the products being announced at Macworlds being surprised that Steve Jobs pulls it out during showtime. But if you really want to read the list of "what's going to be announced," hit the jump. More »

What To Expect at Macworld 2008 and Why We Think It Will Be Bigger than Usual

T minus four days and counting. Steve Jobs' Macworld 2008 keynote is next Tuesday and at this point we only know one thing for sure: something big is coming from Apple. Maybe not one single iceberg-sized thing, but this year we believe the Boom Countâ„¢ is going to be so high that Apple had to take their new big irons out of the way to clear the launching pad. And if it wasn't enough, there's plenty of evidence that points out the magnitude and importance of next week's announcements: More »

Panasonic Keynote Bits: Wireless HDTVs, YouTube, Wireless Lumix Camera and Comcast Cable Box Inside


•The keynote highlight was the monster TV you see above, but those details came out today too. •There's a portable DVR and DVD player that can hook into the Comcast content as well.
•Youtube partnership, Steve Chen is here. The UI looks as clean as Apple TVs. But blurry YouTube on a giant plasma is going to be ugly.
•There's a Wi-Fi lumix coming that can upload to YouTube.

This Video Makes Bill Gates Look Cooler Than Steve Jobs


OMG, I can hear the fanboys battling already. Here's a video from last night's CES 2008 keynote, Bill Gates' last for the foreseeable future. And I know its scripted, edited and contrived, but I'm sold: The man is a cool geek. He's not cool in a fonzie/Jobs kind of way in this video. But very much like how he seemed at total ease with his geekiness and place in the universe at Mossberg and Swisher's All Things D conference the guy just looks happy here. (Especially while playing goofy and modest butt of the joke with this short's star studded cast.) He seems nothing like the anti-antitrust mogul with a killer instinct and "bad taste" we learned to hate in Pirates of Silicon Valley. Fanboys, get to your comment battle stations. Just leave me out of it — I only wrote the headline. [Link]

Apple Keynote Index Fund Lays Out Your Jobsnote Money-Making Chances

The unspoken conventional wisdom around MacWorld every year is that you can make a good deal of money buying up Apple stock before the keynote and dumping it afterwards, cashing in on hyped up traders high on Jobs' ass fumes (a.k.a. his bullshit cloud or RDF). More »

Bill Gates CES Keynote Subject Matter Speculation by the Seattle PI

The Seattle PI does great Microsoft reporting due to its proximity to HQ. But I'm not sure this piece about Bill Gates' keynote subject matter is anything but speculation. Don't get riled up by the new Xbox or Media Center rumors then. [SeattlePI]

For those of you who want to relive the hour and a half you spent not working, here's Apple's official recording of the keynote yesterday. [Apple]

Fourth Xbox 360 Configuration Coming Up?

There's a big keynote coming up tonight at E3, and snoops from the Gamerscore Blog caught a shot of the rehearsals for that presentation. Well, well, looky there: There's a fourth Xbox on stage. Wait a minute, we thought there were only three configurations on sale. Let's see, we have the Core, the Premium, and the Elite, but what could that fourth one be? More »

Why is Apple Trading Boom for Bada Bing, Bada Bing, Bada Bing?


Emo fanboy-ism can turn abruptly the other direction on occasion. Apple found that out this week as some declared this Monday's WWDC Keynote the worst ever, and that it signified the beginning of something bad for Cupertino. Some humorously found a way to blame it on Microsoft, yet again. (Poor Billy.) More »

Worst. Keynote. Ever. Shirt. Period.

Thought yesterday's WWDC Keynote was the worst keynote ever? Show your disapproval with this Worst. Keynote. Ever. shirt. Hell, just buy one and wear it to every keynote you go to from now on—even if it's not a Jobsnote—just for a pre-emptive screw you to the presenter. More »

Apple WWDC Keynote: Fewer Booms Mean Lower Stock Price


You all know Steve's favorite phrase other than "one more thing" is BOOM! Well there were definitely less booms at this this keynote than at Macworld '07. In fact, by our count, there were only eight. That's seven fewer than Macworld's 15. Of course the question that all of our financially minded readers are asking right now is, how did this correlate with Apple's stock price? More »

Rumor Smashed: Apple's WWDC Keynote Not 3 Hours

We'd just reported that the Keynote, likely without iPhone and Leopard, would be a mindblowing, lord of the rings-esque 3 hours long. Actually, that's wrong. More »
