Great Expectations

sigh

So, it seems that I’m going to have to explain real­ity to the MacMacs yet again. I know you’re all busy dust­ing off your hair-shirts and prepar­ing for the inevitable round of self-flagellation that you so love to indulge in after every Apple announce­ment. But please, for the love of Moloch, try and actu­ally think for a minute here.

Apple is pulling out of Macworld Conference and Expo after this year. Ascribe to that what­ever con­spir­acy the­ory makes your fuzzy lit­tle heads warm; but it’s a sim­ple fact. Corollary to that fact; Steve Jobs wasn’t going to deliver the Keynote. Again, come up with what­ever “moon-landing-was-a-hoax” the­ory you want to to explain that; but it’s a fact.

So, given those facts; did you really, really, think that Apple was going to make some earth-shattering announce­ments today? Did you hon­estly believe that this was going to be any­thing other than the most banal and hum-drum Keynote since Jobs returned. Why, in the name of all that’s unholy would Apple go and prove that every­one who cru­ci­fied them for pulling out of the Expo was right.

Really, use your frack­ing brains you nimrods!
