iMac, Mac Mini Updates November 11 According to… Pure Speculation

iMac, Mac Mini Updates November 11 According to… Pure Speculation | The Apple Blog:


Yesterday, Macsimumnews.com published a piece in which editor David Sellers claims to be “pretty sure” that the iMac and Mac mini will see updates on or before Tuesday, Nov. 10 (it’s actually the 11th). He makes no mention of sources, and the article is categorized as an opinion piece.

Which didn’t stop 9to5mac from posting about the piece under the banner “iMac, Mac Pro upgrades loom?” Loom? It hardly seems valid to suggest updates are “looming” based on the guesswork of a single Apple journalist, even if he does have experience in the industry.

Good lord.

All of you. stop. Just stop it. Get out of your parent’s basement and go outside. Do something. Get a life. cut it out.

I swear to god, I’m going to start a rumor blog, make up some false identity and start posting really weird fantasy crap, just to see who picks it up and treats it as real news. And then I’ll out you for the idiots you are.

or maybe I’ve already started. who knows? well, I do.

But please: if you have a brain and don’t need a keeper to remind you to breathe, do the universe a favor and DO NOT READ OR SUPPORT sites that pull this kind of stuff. And no, I’m not suggesting you do it to theAppleBlog, but to those poor disasters they’re yelling at…

    Isn’t that what Crazy Apple Rumors was in essence? I remember a few of their articles being taken at face value and propagated through the echo chamber by knee-jerk bloggers.

    Just don’t post any facts to their comments section or they will threaten to ban you.

    That’s just brutal. You can’t even pretend there’s a connection to reality in that rumor.
