Do you hate Apple news?
Do you hate Apple news? -- Engadget

They even have a large pic of an apple with a red slash through it in the article.

I love apple news, i feed off of it. !!!!

Good read, As a semi dedicated critical Fanboy of Apple, I don't mind the constant news. The rumor mill can get a little annoying especially around iPhone time. But in general I find it entertaining.

I don't pay attention to Apple news, myself. There hasn't been anything noteworthy since 2006. It's not like the pre-Intel days where Macworld and the Apple Expos could bring new and exciting things. Now it's just, "Intel's newest silicon and a new video card!" or "More bland case designs!"

Yaaaaaaaay.

When Jobs shows up and says, "Well, minmalism really is bland. We're bringing color back!" I'll read about it. If he tells us that OS 9 is going open source because they haven't built a PPC Macintosh in years then I'll have a reason to be interested.

But until big news comes back...

I never could understand how people involved in technology could hate any form of it some make work better for others but without competition do you fill in the _____ would
actually strive harder to get your money and interest in their product or would they do
like other products in life with no competition and remain dormant till sales drop off.

Jamie, I'm a little ashamed. The iPad is totally noteworthy.

It's the next front on mobile computing, as has been predicted by industry analysts for over a decade (the shift to pads and cloud set up). Apple is again on the forefront.

I'm old school, too. But keep a little faith.

But I don't like the "cloud." I don't believe in the movement and don't feel like supporting it. Thus, I don't think that the thing is that great. Sure it's nice, but is it doing anything I care about? Nooooot really.

I wish that analysts had been predicting something that didn't suck

I concur. I may not like Windows products, but that doesn't mean I don't want to learn about the new updates, or see the competition.

On a side note, have you all ever seen anyone block out Windows info? It's all anti-Apple propaganda!

I try and ignore it but yes its a bit one sided and a lot of people hate or fear
change but I will continue to embrace technology especially if it fits my budget.

But the cloud doesn't have to suck... You can have a central home server that you access from the cloud. It doesn't have to be corporate run.

I've got that already... it's called my computer's hard disk. I don't understand what's so wrong with that and why we have to go to servers and things. It doesn't add anything except complexity. If my files are on my computer, I know where they are. I can take with me the ones I need, then save them back to my Mac Pro.

Then... now this is where things get crazy... I don't have to rely on three computers to do what one can do.

See why it's so pointless? There are computers... they're for work. There are phones and music players that are for piddling while on the go. There's the Internet which is for sending messages and files. That's all that's needed. Another stage in-between is needless and wasteful and I don't support it. I'll unplug before I ever "go cloud."

Jamie-Jamie, just remember the at times the most insignificant things can change the world in ways we never thought possible. In that respect i think all Apple news is worth reading. The rumour mill on the other hand, that's just there for a laugh.

The colour of a computer box is pretty insignificant in the scheme of things. As long as the internal parts work who cares? Well you care. And that's ok . WHat one person finds pointless another person might find interesting.
