Yes, this comic is old. It predates this site. But it’s still nice to know that others think the same way you do.

You’ve probably already seen this:

It’s genius. Plus, as with all things political, funny and/or sexual, it’s prompting a large number of very amusing responses from the youtube crowd:

Actually, that was Keith Ellison of Minnesota…idiot.

Update: Apparently I should quote myself in my next entry, because I’ve done a dumb, dumb thing. While getting the keynote information from MacRumors, the presentation of the iPhone section sure seemed to imply a developer’s ability to create widgets: yes, these widgets were just HTML, AJAX and some iPhone-specific calls, but they were widgets, they lived on your phone’s desktop, and they could perhaps even utilize some basic local storage

It does not appear that is the case. At the very least, I think we need some more info. So for now, allow me to strike a fair number of the inflammatory things I’ve said, and go wash the egg of my face. Sorry guys.

Original post follows:

You know what’s funny? I’d written the title to this blog last night (before the WWDC keynote). And in the wake of so many angry, frustrated responses, I appear nothing but prescient! But I’m not psychic; I’m realistic. Any Apple announcement cannot occur without being accompanied by wailing, crying, recrimination, Apple-cursing, and a (momentarily) tumbling stock price. It’s the AppleNewsRumors Death Spiral! (Perhaps related to but not to be confused with the Apple Product Cycle.)

To those not in the know: WWDC is Apple, Inc.’s Worldwide Developers Conference. It’s an event for programmers and engineers, primarily by programmers and engineers; consequently, it’s geared toward software and architecture news and information. As such, you wouldn’t really expect to hear much about consumer-level Apple products, would you? Of course not. Well, scratch that; some people would. For some reason, a hell of a lot of people:

From kemck @ MacRumors: all he had to do is anounce the new iMac’s and the stock would have skyrocketed!

Oh. Dammit! That’s what he should’ve done!

This shouldn’t surprise you. This is par for the course following Apple events. Never mind the fact that Apple did announce developer access to their 2007 consumer crown jewel, the iPhone. This was rumored but far from set in stone – won’t this make people happy? Heh.

@ TUAW: What I find funny is that this is an announcement. With a full featured browser, web 2.0 apps would have been there regardless… is there something custom I’m missing? Are these widgets, which aren’t full web code standardized and with some proprietary code from Apple, are are they just web apps that would have been there anyhow?

~~Umm. Yeah. YES. Jesus - read and comprehend.~~

@ MacRumors: Web 2.0 + AJAX apps???? Steve, I f-ing hate you, I’m down $12k today because the market is obviously very unimpressed with this half-assed (nay, quarter-assed) third-party development option.

A week ago it was doubtful that Apple was even going to allow any third party iPhone development. Now they’ve announced that you will, in fact, be able to utilize the iPhone’s phone and email services in your own applications (as well as other services, perhaps - we don’t know!) and it isn’t enough. What? You want Apple allow things like Java on the iPhone? Sounds awesome! You don’t want that nice sandbox, anyway; give me the enormous landfill instead! Yeah, it smells like shit and the view is terrible, but it’s so big! And, and think of all the stuff it has in it!

Is it any wonder that Apple’s Dashboard has been a success, while things like Yahoo’s Desktop Engine (format Konfabulator) have been received mostly tepidly? It’s the same argument – web engines vs. programming languages. The lack of Java may get your panties in a twist, but in reality Apple has just announced it’s bringing iPhone development to everyone! It’s like mobile Hypercard, baby! And this is supposed to be a bad thing?!

Disappointment over the keynote address was not limited to the lack of consumer announcements or iPhone-related disclosures. No, it stands to reason that a fair number of complaints would focus on Leopard, Apple’s forthcoming operating system, which was the keynote’s primary subject.

@ MacRumors: Amazing how the hype machine built up our expectations. Apple stock was up all morning but shortly after the end of the keynote it started dropping about 3%.

You mean, the hype machine of which we’re all actively a part? Jesus. We got some eye candy, some new user interface interaction, a bunch of unified GUIs, enhancements to features we already knew about, Safari on Windows (!) and a lot of polish. What else did you expect? Really? A twenty dollar bill? A pony? I bet it was a pony, wasn’t it. Gates and Ballmer would’ve given me a pony. Stupid Jobs. *Mutter*

The Top Eight Worst Comments on the Sopranos Series Finale

Posted Sunday, June 10th, 2007

As a poor sap without even basic cable (let alone HBO), I’ve watched about a combined ten minutes of the Sopranos. Yet, neophyte that I am, I can still pick out the uniformed, the ludicrous, the completely ridiculous opinions of those who just don’t get it.

Updated: I think I was being a bit hard on #8, which really doesn’t deserve to be on this list; I’ve replaced it with something much worthier.

(Note to self - don’t hang out at TVSquad. Christ - I could compile a top ten list from content at that site alone.)

8. From Dolomite @ digg:

just cancelled hbo. if all us diggers stick together we can send a real message. everyone cancell HBO subscriptions, even for a month. with millions of cancellations from us diggers hbo will definately get the message that they screwed up big time. hit them where it hurts, in the wallet. Lets go diggers!

Yeah! Get the word out! DIGG FTW!

~~8. From MikeyLikesTV.com:~~

The optimistic title of the final episode led me to believe that we weren’t going to witness any bloodshed in Tony’s immediate family, but the tension David Chase created left me convinced up until the last moment that something devastating was going to happen. Nothing ever did. Aside from the delightfully gruesome/deserved whacking of Phil Leotardo, there wasn’t even any violence.

This is a well-written blog entry, but the fact that the author never mentions even the remote possibility that bloodshed was, in fact, that exact end to the series, means he suffers from a serious lack of imagination. Expect an update and a self-kicking in the morning.

7. From peter @ MySpace:

There is now a man more hated in America than George W. and that is the Mr. Chase, or whoever was responsible for the worst ending in TV history. Unless of course it was a gov’t conspiracy.. we have probably just invaded Iran or something!

U figured it out !

6. From spickoli @ sepinwall.blogspot.com:

Perfect ending! True brilliance!!! You refuse to finish something because the entire world had outlined every possible scenario and you are too smart for that! Hell ya, don’t rely on any sort of “Craft”, just refuse to participate.

This just-in….France having pulled out of Iraq, is auctioning 100,000 bullet proof vests… one catch the Kevlar is only on the back.

DC is a coward!

Heh.

5. Courtesy of manuel @ TVSquad:

“what a piece of sh…….the ending was stupit I expected more”

Wow.

4. From jameskong15 @ digg:

I don’t know how people are coming up with the idea that we are seeing it through his eyes or whatever. The last picture we saw was of Tony. If it had been through his eyes, we would have been looking at the door (as was the case multiple times immediately prior to the ending).

Jesus. Talk about missing the forest for the fucking trees.

3. From robman1967 @ TVSquad:

“all that tension for nothing. i was ready for tony to get it and then fade to black. are we to assume he got shot? or what, talk about big let downs.”

Yeah, no kidding. It’s kinda like that time when I was reading this comment on some blog; I was totally ready for it to be insightful - total letdown.

2. From mike @ slashfilm:

“terrible. pretentious. lame.”

(Thanks for your CmdrTaco-esque moment.)

And the current winner:

1. From Britt @ TVSQuad:

PLAIN STUIPED.

i cant belive it.

ugh. i wish it was better.

hatetedhateed it

ughugh.

what happend?

what i think; the guy in the bathroom was a terorist and blew the place up. or shot tony.

OR, someone shot Meadow.
:S

not sure.

gay ending,

Again. I provide comment permalinks to show you that I’m not making this up. Wow.
