“Inspired” by Apple

Proof that some people *can* predict the future - this Storify from nine days ago. Spookily accurate.

Google Fiber Box: I’ve not been able to authenticate this, so I’m assuming it’s a fake, unless someone can tell me otherwise. It’s got to be a fake.

Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera: I don’t care what anyone says. Cameras just didn’t look like this before the iPhone 4 came along.

HTC First: It’s your common-or-garden iPod touch/iPhone knock-off. Nothing remarkable about that.

But plenty of LOLs at the yawning, Silicon Valley-sized gulf between the techbloggers (“OMG! Facebook will steal YOUR SOUL AND YOUR CHILDREN AND YOUR PRECIOUS, PRECIOUS, PERSONAL DATA!”) and, well, everyone else (“It’s a phone. With Facebook. And Android. And it looks like an iPhone.”) I might be wrong, but I don’t think people actually care that much.

And you know what? I’m fine with that. But our real enemies are out there. Yes, they are. You know who I hate more than Facebook, Google, and the North Koreans, all put together? SEO consultants. Wankers.

HP Envy XT Touchsmart: I started a new job today, so didn’t really have any time to do anything new or different*. Helpfully, neither did HP.

*Before you moan, a touchscreen on a laptop is neither “new” nor “different”.
