Jobs shuns UK hacks

Applealooza closes doors on Brit Pack Journos
Thursday, 5 June 2008, 14:15

STEVE ALMIGHTY, guardian of the sacred secrets of Apple, has decided that UK journalists are not worthy to hear the pearly iridescence of his hallowed words alongside the rest of the world's press.

The Apple worldwide Developer conference (WWDC), Saint Steve's annual Sermon on the Mount which takes place in San Francisco on June 9th, is normally simulcast live to UK journalists.

But this year, probably in a fit of pique at having all of his secret stuff revealed months in advance by the INQUIRER and other UK media outlets, has not invited us to the party. We’ll have to wait and watch with the great unwashed a few hours later.

Oh the indignity! Don’t they know who we are?

Anyway, to save you having to watch it yourself Steve will be announcing the new 3G Iphone, the rebranding of .Mac to Mobile Me and the release of OSX 10.6... So there! µ

It's their fault

I would do the same thing if I was in his shoes.
Can't wait, I hope they announce a update for the MiniMac because I'm in the market for one and it really needs updated. At least drop in the X31 graphics chip. The GMA950 in it now is way underpowered. I hope they don't drop it all together, if so I hope they replace it with something else.

He was probably just worried that you might send Nick along.

I hope you hacks do get Jobs

There's no future on the dole and busking down the tubes, especially after your salad days have congealed.
Blessed are they who are over the EDGE, for theirs is the 3 Gs offie.
Blessed are they who have lost the plot, for they shall obtain GPS.
Blessed is the pastel geeks, for they shall inherit the Macworld.
Blessed are the poor... you didn't really expect... a kettle of fish... for all you cats? Meowww! Catnip Apple? As useless as Larry with beer and skittles.

Cheapy journalism

Was it great Mike Mageek who first started Mac, Jobs, iPhone etcetc from Apple bashing at Inq years ago? Now everyone is copying the furer of computer rumor mill. 

Some clerk at Apple had put you into ingnore list. You think Jobs is reading the Inq ???

You are angry. That's understandabe. Like some town grandma which was angry with the city. But the city did not know.

Jobs does not know as much as TheInquirer.net knows. He does not know the joy of Fish & Chips nor does he care about anything outside of the colonies. He's not even ignorant, he's "ignant".
Poor devil.
Please ignore this devil "Jobs"...
If I was the Queen I would order him to be quartered...
