So, the point is people are upset because Brian Lam mislead them in purpose? You might not like what I said, but I think readers need to also take responsibility. There is an "iPhone" alright. But it's from Linksys... not Apple. Have anyone thought why they'd be so dissapointed? Maybe because no one went through the troouble to check the solidness of the info? Instead, just follow Brain Lam like a good, old blind sheep? I don't like the way Brian tricked with people's trust & hopes... But perhaps people should take responsibilty to check the 3rd, or even 4th party's sources before they blindfully follows a blogger who's known not representing Apple's Official? Besides, What about the responsibilities of other bloggers? They, too, announced news about iPhones, whether following Brian's news or not. Why haven't I seen anyone being angry at other bloggers who's giveing out the same/similar informations? I can't help but think Dissappointed fans are using Brain Lam as their disappointment/anger/frustration/pride outlet... I'm not too into the whole affair, and I'm just passing by, so it's not likely I'll be back. If you think I said something wrong, or you'd like to chat, welcome to e-mail me @ fukgugle@gmail.com Thank you for sharing your opinion. I appriciate this blog any constructive e-mails to me as well as others. Please have a nice day. Merry Xmas, and Happy New Year.
