Any point in *not* writing about Apple?

Started by mathewi · 1 year ago

    But wouldn't it be fun if Microsoft or Google sneaked out something today in an attempt to upstage Apple?

    while Engadget is tossing in editorial comments all over the place
    about how the demos are "crazy boring."

    The Gizmodans may fear the kind of retaliation they could expect from the Apple faithful worshipping at the iPhone MacAlters. They would beat and then bury the pranksters with a pile of GSIIs, Nexts and old iPhone carcasses, then cover their tracks with Qik videos from other locations.

    for 99% of the bloggers out there I don't imagine there is really any point in posting anything due to the Apple noise - call it a blogger's long weekend.

    *YAWN*

    I like how you climbed on the Apple bandwagon by trying to stay off the bandwagon. Sort of like writing a post about the demise of comments in which you hope that people will leave comments. :)
