Why making news about what you consider no news??

Thanks

but the thing I have to remember is…as long as they are talking you are important…and no matter whether the press is good or bad…it’s always a good sign that you are still of worth and value

and my feeling is…the more people talk about something they want…the better chance of them getting something close to what they want…

I agree…whatever iTablet/macbook nano Apple finally comees out with will NOT BE ANYWHERE NEAR THE PRICE OF A NETBOOK…

and if you notice your spell check on mac leopard…NETBOOK isn’t even a real word yet…lol
it gives suggestions like NET-BOOK, NET BOOK & NETBACK…LMAO

again I feel your pain…and still love you for it…

the Netbook is generally thought of as an inexpensive computer. People think of them as cheaper, which is why they’re selling so well. The comic book industry, for example, seems to bring this thing up every week as the savior of the industry, even though no one points out that its going to cost close to a grand…which is WAY more than most of them are going to be willing to pay for a device to read their digital comics on.

But honestly, I get tired of writing about why the rumors and speculation are wrong I feel like I’m shouting into a room full of people that just don’t care (and in this analogy the room is the blogosphere, not the site, because those of you that do comment obviously care) and are enjoying stirring things up – even if they know they’re not true.

Why slam speculation and market “analysis”? Very few people commenting on the netbook theory are suggesting that an Apple netbook would be a plain-jane compact notebook. If anything, almost everyone expects an Apple netbook to be unique in some manner, and not copying what other companies have put out.

“I think it’s a shame that people are even using the term “Netbook” in describing whatever this device may be – because if it does exist, chances are, it’s not going to be priced in the range of current Netbooks.”

What does that have to do with calling it a netbook? A netbook is not defined purely by a small price-point, merely a smaller footprint and computational power as compared to a typical notebook computer. Would you be happier if bloggers called it a “luxury netbook” or a “sub-compact”?

I’d much rather hear your thoughts on why the rumours/speculation are wrong than hearing a rant on how you hate to read the rumours/speculation in the first place; if we wanted to reflect on how annoying the rampant speculation can be, we’d just look at our own RSS feeds.

I hear ya’! When stock analasysts start talking about new unreleased Apple products i sigh deeply.
I think this is a manipulation of the market, hyping up a product that they know Apple would never release and when the magic tuesday comes, the magic is gone.
