That’s because many observers don’t expect a new iPhone will be unveiled. The Cupertino company’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference is about software, not gadgets. Some prognosticators say a new device – perhaps even a new family of iPhones – will be launched later this month or in July.

Good cause I don’t care about the iPhone. Not buying any phone that is locked down to a service, hell I don’t even need a cell phone or any phone for that matter. If I had to pay bill, I’d have no cell phone.

Might not have to buy OS X Snow Leopard, as I’ll eventually get an iMac. Doubt Snow leopard will be released immediately.

Funny how everyone is expecting hardware, does anyone realize the name of it is “World Wide Developer Conference”? Sounds like software, not hardware, at least to me.

A number of analysts expect Apple to hold a special event in coming weeks to launch a new family of iPhones, and to announce lower prices.

Ahh there you go iPhone humpers. Maybe they’ll lower price of iMac, still have to wait 2+ months, will want some money left in bank, and will be buying refurbished.

Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster speculates a device that is somewhat larger than the iPod Touch will be launched in the first quarter of next year.

That is what I want, then I won’t bother getting a new touch if they make a new one. I still have the first generation touch, waiting for third generation or tablet like mac.

Apple’s annual developers conference: Don’t expect a new iPhone – San Jose Mercury News.

Read on tuaw.com that Robocalypse is coming to the iPhone, never even heard of the game. Guess its for the DS, came out in 2008. Might have to buy the DS version on ebay, looks like fun, and its cheap. Could buy it on amazon, but don’t get any rewards from amazon, like my ebay bucks. Cheaper on ebay anyways, gamestop doesn’t sell that anymore, at least not on their site.

The Sims 3 is pretty fun on the iPod touch. You can go to other people’s house, you can also barge in, to bad the doors are usually locked. You can talk to trees to, which is really fun/exciting. Oh yeah and I made my sim a maniac. He got fired from a job, for trying to steal something. Can’t play the mac version of the game, as my mac mini has crappy video. Not buying new mac for one game.

Note: I have an iPod touch, so I don’t know if everything is working, no microphone or second generation touch. I do hear message saying I need call out credit from gizmo5.

If your on a mac like me, then you need cross over games, as you can’t setup SIP with their shitty web interface.

After you have cross over games, or cross over office installed, install Nimbuzz for PC.

Now all you have to do is login to PC version, and setup SIP, really simple after logging in go to Settings | Calling Settings. And enter your SIP settings.

After you set it up, go on your iPhone and open Nimbuzz, and select phone calls, click the No operator selected thing and click Other VoIP Account.

The iPod touch version will cost $9.95, fucking bastards always charging touch users.

“Meanwhile, Apple also revealed that Bluetooth support can be activated in the 2nd generation iPod Touches. ”

Quote from macrumors.com, hmm maybe I’ll buy a new iPod touch then, that comes with 3.0. First generation doesn’t have bluetooth. Wonder if my bluetooth headset will work with it, then I can use VOIP on touch.

Another new feature is “Third-Party Accessory Apps: Allowing accessory manufacturers to create applications to interface with their hardware accessories.”, so I guess somebody could make a microphone accessory for iPod touch, and then make app that’ll work with it, probably wouldn’t be a VOIP app, maybe they’d release an SDK, so others could make apps for it.

I don’t want to buy the second generation iPod touch though, waiting for the third generation.

Thanks to amazon they just released a free kindle app for the iPod touch/iPhone. Glad I didn’t ever buy a kindle, was thinking about it once, but never bought it. No need now, thanks to the free app amazon released for touch/iPhone users. Now I should see what books are available.

“10:34AM Well that’s it folks — no Steve, no iPhone nano, no new Mini, no new iMac, no shockers, no surprises. We’re off to the floor… but hey, Tony Bennett is incredibly smooth. And that’s something, right?”

From engadget.com.

Apple should stop selling the mini, if they aren’t going to update it. It is being more and more outdated everyday, and the fuckers still haven’t updated it. Looks like I’ll have to go back to linux, either build own linux computer, or buy one. To bad apple, you won’t be getting my money from your computers anymore.

Didn’t need to wake up early today, this was the worst Apple keynote ever.

At least I’ll get more for my money building my own computer.

Somebody should email Steve Jobs and say “Thanks for the shitty keynote, you dying asshole.”. Wait, that makes me an asshole, for calling a dying fellow an asshole. Maybe make that dying rich asshole, instead. Nothing like being an asshole before you die. I’m doing pretty good on being an asshole before I do, considering I always am an asshole, and I could die any day.

Finally apple released the new firmware for the iPod touch and iPhone, hmm can’t seem to remember what the bugs were or are, downloading the newer version now though. Haven’t really been using my iPod touch all that much lately, maybe to read some news, and check email. Perhaps those bugs, that I can’t think of, have been fixed.

iPhone 2.0.1 firmware out for iPhone and iPod touch – The Unofficial Apple Weblog TUAW

PwnageTool 2.0.1 has already been released, not that big of a surprise, considering some of the problems with PwnageTool 2.0. Will upload when the download is done.

Nice the new version of Pwnage for the iPod touch and iPhone was released.

Pwnage 2.0 released – The Unofficial Apple Weblog TUAW.

I’d reckon this would have to be one of the best free app’s I have so far, its funny, should keep you entertained, while taking a big dump.

Now go download Jared for the iPhone or iPod touch, and have some real fun! It sings better then me.

Looks like the iPhone 2.0 firmware, has already been jail broken and unlocked, according to gizmobo. Might have to buy my uncle’s iPhone, once he’s ready to upgrade to a 3G phone.

uBid.com is having a sale, and they have a Mini Hiphone LH01 UNLOCKED Touch Screen MP3 Smart Phone Bluetooth, which is basically a iPhone knockoff, I like the fact that it is unlocked. I would buy it, if I had money, in my paypal account. Hmm they have a billmelater, haha. I should get bad credit, before I’m 20, sounds like a good idea. Though I do have $169. Not sure if myfaves on t-mobile would work, probably not.

I wouldn’t line up for a 3G iPhone, I don’t want a phone locked to a shitty network like AT&T. I will always hate AT&T, for their past business with Bush.

Oh yeah and I’m a fucking moron too, just not the kind that stands in line a week early.

Oh yeah and some moron rang the door bell this morning, while I was still in bed. Guess nobody else was home, they should be glad I didn’t answer the door though, they would be running.

Update
I guess they are trying to “break a world record for most time spent waiting in line to buy something.”. Hmm I can break your world record, I’ll go line up for Mario Super Sluggers, it isn’t going to be out until Aug 25, 2008. So there! Anybody want to join me? Anybody want to pour water on my head, if I pass out? Might pass out from not drinking or eating anything for so long. Hmm might have to wear a diaper, so I don’t have to leave line! I don’t want to leave to pee, or shit! I’ll smell like flowers! Want a sniff?

Hmm to solve the not drinking and eating problem, somebody can hook an IV up to me, I’ve had an IV once or twice, not to bad. Anybody up to the task? Or I could bring lots of food and water or something else to drink.

After you unzip it, right click on the Siphon and click Show Package Contents, I assume you are using a mac. Then you will see a file called “accounts.xml”, open it up in a text editor, and put in your info. I don’t have an iPhone, so I have no idea if it’ll work or not. According to comments on touchmods, you will have to ssh into your iPhone to install the application. You can download siphon from here. If that link doesn’t work you can find the latest link to it here. Or you can download it from zshare.

Oh yeah and for windows extract the zip file and double click on “Siphon.app”, it should show up as a folder, at least in xp. Then open the accounts.xml file.

In the accounts.xml file you will see the below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

There’s the low quality on youtube, you can find download links for the 720p version here, they also have an iPhone version there too.

Remember there is no release date, you can read that here. If your friend says they know, they are full of shit, because they know nothing.

Now I want the Asus Eee PC, the cheapest one, that won’t be released until the end of November is fine, will be $299. Probably to much, so I should stop looking at it, because I know, I won’t get it. Ahh well. Don’t want the Nokia N800 anymore, after comparing the specs and the price. It isn’t worth it. So I still only have one thing on my list, the JBL speakers. I don’t want to put it on my list or ask for it, because $299 is to much. I could sell my other computer, but I doubt I’d get very much, and if I sold it, I would want at least $399, so I can get the better model, with more ram. But I would really rather have the one that you can upgrade the ram on, ok I guess you could attempt at unsoldering, the soldered on ram, if you so desire, but I would destroy it. Thinking the Nokia N800 is $399, because of the link above, is completely false, because you can get it for less then $300 at buy.com and amazon. Unless you want to buy it through nokia, and get totally ripped off.

Hmm I think I rather have a wii though, I want to play the new super mario galaxy game. I don’t think its a good idea to ask for something or to buy something when its first released, as my uncle bought the iPhone to early, though he did wait. So I’ll wait till next year or the year after. By then I might have a job, and some money. If you can’t find a wii, you must not go to the store very often. I remember seeing it in stock at walmart, and my mom’s boyfriend say he saw it in stock somewhere too. Guess some people only order online. I don’t think I want to play manhunt, due to psychotic reasons. I might go even more crazy if I play it. Well they do blur the executions out, but there’s probably sound. Unless they beep the sound out.

Ghost Squad on the wii looks like a cool game too, oh yeah and the wii zapper is coming out 11/19/07. Ghost Squad is coming out 11/20/07.

Apple is finally offering the $100 store credit, that Steve Jobs, said they would in a open letter. It only took until Friday for them to start offering it.

Now there’s going to be an iPod touch, basically the same thing as the iPhone, except it isn’t a phone.

iPod touch

Oh well the mac mini has more space, faster processor, can do more. The guy in the iPod touch video, looks kind of funny, his eyes look closed or something. Might not be a real person.

Hmm so tempting, aww screw it, the iBook is going on craigslist too. After I reinstall tiger. I’ll buy the cheap mini, $600, or maybe I’ll be even cheaper, and buy one of the old models. But I kind of want the intel core 2 duo processor. Hmm I’ll just get the new model. I don’t really care if its 1.83 GHz or 2 GHz, so I’ll just be cheap and get the $600 one. Might be able to get $400 out of the iBook.

It’ll be a pain to switch the monitor and keyboard and mouse manually between them, don’t want to buy a kvm switch at compusa, most of the reviews are bad. Could buy a windows laptop, and wipe it, and put linux on it. Won’t buy a ubuntu dell laptop, because they cost more then the windows ones, and start at slower speeds.

Maybe I’ll make up my mind tomorrow, after I use my grandpa’s iMac, still selling the iBook, just don’t know what I’ll buy, probably a mac mini, but no guarantee.

Or I could buy an iPhone, anybody want to pay the bill?

Might get a refurbished mac on apple.com. Depending on how much I get. Wonder if I have any allowance yet.
