My little confused world

Dibert Pre-iPhone Media Hype

You know what I can’t be arsed with the speculation on the new iPhone, the internet is awash with articles on “What we know” about the next iPhone and it really boils down to nothing. Sure they are pretty sure that the phone is going to be slightly taller and will have a different dock connector, aside from that the articles are filled with waffle.

The frenzy that surrounds this seems to be more aimed at getting page views than actually spreading information though, because none of the articles seems to cover any technical specs, they focus on the leaked case designs and the new port, the rest is drivel. Why bother wasting your time writing about that? Why waste my time making me read it? I’m considering sending invoices to blogs that have long winded articles with no information charging them for the time they wasted.

Wait till it get’s here, it’ll be pretty much the same as before but a little better, that’s what Apple do, consistent incremental innovation, why because change is bad, you likes the old iPhone, you will like the new one that is slightly better, it doesn’t cost them as much to add in features slowly and people will buy it anyway because it has an Apple logo on it.

It’s also safer to be just behind the curve than it is to lead it, the blathering mass of Android phone makers are making phones with every feature they think of  under the sun, releasing new ones on a daily basis, Apple can cherry pick the ideas that seem to work, and ignore the ones that are duds while adding it’s own little fruity twist to the mix to sell super ultra mega awesome phones.

So please just shut up already, it will come out you will think it’s awesome, or you wont, and hundred of thousands of people will buy one. or two.

Birthday Cake For an Apple Fan-Boy

Steve Jobs would have celebrated his 57th birthday this year my friend Chris is a complete Apple Fanboy and his birthday is a day later than Steve’s. So his lovely girlfriend Jen made him this cake depicting him and Steve sitting next to one another on a cake in the shape of an Apple logo.

Chris is such an Apple fan-boy that someone gave him a framed picture of Steve Jobs and he kept it on his desk at work, often referring to him as his “lord and saviour”.

The Cake was Accompanied with a set of Cup cakes with iOS icons on them:

More pictures of the cake and cupcakes:

The discerning consumer might notice that that is an IKEA chopping board.

In case you are wondering what is going on behind Chris, he’s recent’y started to learn some card tricks, I assume that is a magic wand (He’s going to go see Paul Daniels soon which he keeps on saying is going to be the highlight of his year), the can is a can of IRN BRU, and I assume Chris has been watching Game of Thrones on his Laptop.

I ate way too many of these cupcakes…
