Is it wrong, that I take quite a bit of schadenfreude from reading this November 2006 Daily ACK entry in which the author says he's sick of these "iPhone and flash-based MacBook rumors that never turn out to be true," and that he's just going to stop paying attention to them.
I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You should ask him how that's working out for him. The schadenfreude experience will be heightened by pointing it out.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I get a kick out of his link to his 2004 post on the iPhone where he says
Russell Beattie has been indulging in some fantasizing about the direction in which Apple might be heading with his blog post about the the "iphone".
I think he's dead wrong. The key thing about the sucess of the iPod, which I'm sure is clear to Steve Jobs, is that Apple broke into (invented) a totally new market and became the dominant player with a high margin product. The mobile phone market is anything but new, in fact, it's totally saturated and margins are vanishing thin. On top of this, his suggestion of "...a small version of OSX" is unfortunately totally off the wall.
Oh, as usual, dear.

I thought someone had asked about one. I was just too lazy to go copy and paste your post.
Or, apparently, to even bother referencing it.
Gronk is mighty today...
