shite aaron says
I am blogging from somewhere above Colorado. I’m headed west for my quarterly visit to the home office and I’m taking Virgin America instead of JetBlue. The only reason that I am doing that is because JetBlue was $200 more than Virgin America. It’s very disappointing when your favorite airline is so much more expensive that you can’t justify the additional cost. I wrote about Virgin America last year. My thoughts have not changed much.

Earlier this week I found a half written post from January talking about what I would like to see in the upcoming iPhone 4.0 OS. It’s pretty funny that I found it the week that Apple is announcing its roadmap for the 4.0 OS. I won’t bore you with the details about what I’d like to see in the OS because that’s been covered on any Mac related site.
The post did get me thinking about the rumor sites and how they really whip up the expectations about what will be announced at the upcoming event. It gets to the point where if Steve Jobs doesn’t declare himself to be the Messiah (or the Second Coming if you roll that way) people get disappointed. You see that with some of the complaints that were present when the iPad was announce.
“It doesn’t have a front facing camera for video chatting”
“There is no flash support”
“The name sucks”
A lot of these complaints/disappointments were because everyone was whipped into a frenzy because they believed the rumors. This is why I’ve decided that I’m not going to pay attention to the rumor sites anymore. I don’t care if it’s macrumors.com, John Gruber or Elvis tapping me on the shoulder to tell me what’s going to happen. From now on I’m just going to react to what actually gets announced.
In a similar vein, I’m getting really bored of the Mac Podcasts that are pundit based. It’s all about how great the latest Apple software or hardware is and any issues that there may be are totally glossed over. I’ve been seriously thinking about unsubscribing from several of the ones that I listen too.
