Unveiling The Thinner, Faster, Prettier, Cheaper, Same-As-All-The-Others Apple Product Launch - Live Webcast

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It seems, once again, that Apple shares were bid into the product announcement and sold on the news (though it appears the selling has been front-run here). No one really knows what they will show but expectations are for a shiny new iPad which will wow audiences world wide until they start to use it and realize it's the same as the old one... (rumors include iPad Mini 2, iPad 5, New Macro Pro, New MacBook Pros, OS X Mavericks, and even Apple TV again...)

iPhone 5 in my town did nothing.  No line ups, no mad rush, stores full of stock.  Is Apple doing what realtors did years ago, paying ppl to line up to buy condos to make it appear like hysteria?  I know that whatever product Apple unveils, its improved functionality will only add marginal benefit to society.  And therein lies the reason why this stock is completely over valued.  Bla bla cash.... means nothing going forward.  The Apple rush is over.

The iRazorpad.

Like the iPad2, another iteration of a device which to tweet & post to faceclick, but watch out for those sharp edges.

#Like OMG this thing's so thin! Watch your tongue, William Dudley.

People love vaginas.  Especially when they are new. That is worth waiting in line for.  Mind you, if you had to wait in line...that would mean that the vagina would no longer be new....I digress.

Anecdotal example, but the people I know and work with are only buying S4's and Note 2's. They're actually amazing phones, but I'll keep sticking my middle finger up to .gov and do my little part in not keeping this pig of an economy from going anywhere. Prepaid FTW!! Maybe this announcement will help RSH? Lol

Ive got a conspiracy theory about Apple. I got it after reading Steve Wozniaks biography. in the book Steve W mentions the problems Apple are having with System 9. The computers freeze. His son says that people who have this problem all use Microsoft explorer. At this time Apple computers come with Microsoft explorer preinstalled. Steve Jobs have left Apple to develop a new OS called Next. I think Steve Jobs conspired With Bill Gates to once again become president of Apple. When Apple began looking for a new Os there was Next. The new Os was FreeBSD combined with Next.And Steve Jobs could come back as a savior. Whats in it for Bill Gates you ask. At the first Apple event after Steve Jobs had returned he invited Bill Gates on stage to annonce Microsofts investement in Apple. I think Steve Jobs promised Bill Gates he wouldnt make software that would compete with Office for mac for a number of years. Also B. Gates thought S. Jobs could turn Apple around since he had been sabotaging th company. The rivalry between the two was all show.

A couple of clarifications:

1. Apple was also considering buying Be, Inc., for BeOS, but decided to purchase NeXT (to acquire Steve and the rest of its management).

2. Microsoft shunned NeXT and would not develop Office for its operating systems (NeXTStep and later OpenStep).

3. NeXTStep and OpenStep were already BSD/Mach hybrids, before development of Mac OS X began.

4. The AAPL deal was non-voting stock.  And, it's pretty well-known that Steve and Bill were buddies.

Apple needs to expand its customer base. How about an iGun, a small concealable firearm with built in phone. Ain't no one going to try and rob you when your talking on your iGun.

hey look, a $3000 proprietary hardware computer that looks like a trash can!!!!

Sure design schools will be all over it, but would any company really want to buy a computer that is virtually un-upgradeable and impossible to repair?

What real changes can these devices go through anymore, other than largely cosmetic?

 

I thought it funny that one of the phone companies is advertising a replace your cell phone every year plan.

My land line phone is decades old and still works just fine.  It is a big waste if people think they need to replace their cell phone every year or two, just because some updated bell or whistle was added or updated.

iPad Air - will it have a swoop, blue rubber base, and be overpriced by 400%?

Will kids beat and kill each other for it?

If not, they have work to catch up to Nike.

" The cheapest wifi-only model, which comes with 16GB of storage, will be priced at £399, while the 128GB version will cost £639.

Customers will have to spend between £499 and £739 for an iPad Air capable of connecting to a mobile network ".

Nice, but bloody expensive imho.

This is the second time they've "announced" the trashcan (Mac Pro). And, the website still says December availablity. Still plenty of time for two, maybe three more announcements. How soon the fanboys forget.
