In response to an interesting quote from Steve Jobs today at the iPhone developer preview for iPhone OS 4.

Our father, who art in Apple
hallowed be thy name
Thy iPad come, thy will be bought
On Earth, as it is in Apple.

Give us this day, our daily Apps
and forgive us our shit talking
as we forgive those who shit talk against us

And lead us not in to temptation
But deliver us from Bill Gates

On a local garden center’s electronic billboard I caught the following:

Marie Osmond
Buy 1 Get 1 FREE!

Amen and Aaamen

Stop what you are doing right now and read this. Immediately. Then read it again. Dooce tweeted this article by Mark Morford saying “Reading this was like a thousand cathartic kicking in of the doors.” and I heartily agree.

Why are you so terribly disappointing?.

Have you seen how many things there to be disappointed about these days? Love. Sex. Marriage. Stock market. God. Gas mileage. Death. Air travel. 5/9ths of the Supreme Court. It’s all just a big goddamn letdown. The list is endless. And getting endlesser…

But we don’t stop there. Not only are we disappointed, we need to express it. Vent it. Hiss it and spit it and hurl it like fistfuls of mental manure at the great wall of hey, screw you.

I’ve been helping my super awesome cousin Carrie with some drama she has had with her laptop. It has been having adventures and I’ve been trying to help and she has also been in contact with Apple to try and fix it. While she was speaking with a rep over the phone, she got some interesting info:

Carrie: Just talked to a lady at apple! She told me the tablets are launching the first week of February!

Eli: Yay for your laptop! And did she really?

C: Yeah. My laptop died again, it needs new ram. That lady just made me so excited. I’m bouncing.

E: Lol. I’m really hoping that it will be good stuff

C: She said it definitely is.
There hasn’t been that much excitement there in years. She’s been working there for 15 years or something like that.

As with all rumors and speculation surrounding Apple product releases, this could be any number of things. It could be one of the infamous fabricated leaks which Cupertino loves to put out there, maybe they are using their customer support to spread stuff at random? It could be some mis-information to throw us all off track, or a service representative who is just playing around. But I think (and hope in my heart of hearts) that this is actually just the pure enthusiasm and honesty of one Apple fan in the know sharing it with other Apple fans.

I guess we will all see next Wednesday.
