Soyo says no truth to takeover rumours 08/10/2004 12:03 PM
Motherboard maker Soyo today denied that it had been acquired by a subsidiary of the PC Chips group, as reported in Digitimes last week. The Soyo Group said: "The story is erroneous" and moved to assure its resellers, distributors and customers that the business of the group remains the same. Soyo is traded on the Ontario stock exchange as OTCBB: SOYO and became a separate company from Soyo Computer Inc two years ago.

On scientific truth and Christian
truth... 07/16/2004 06:40 AM

In the middle of an article about the way that the religious right have interfered with scientific work in the US, I find a troubling paragraph:

At a time when biology is poised to undergo a fundamental revolution, the US government, arguably the most potent government in the history of the world, is rife with White House appointees who believe that scientific truth and Christian truth cannot be synonymous, and may well be in opposition.

I ask myself - do I believe that scientific truth and Christian truth can be synonymous? My answer - no. I ask myself - do I believe that they may well be in opposition? My answer - yes. The only difference between me and the people from the religious right then, is that we disagree with which 'truth' is the more reliable. I stick on the side of the people who test their conclusions and refine their belief systems with reference to evidence - they stick to the side of the people who believe that a magic being sets bushes on fire and turns women into salt.

So the scary bit for me is not that the nutters in power believe that the two are incompatible, but that the assumption is that for reasonable, normal, run-of-the-mill scientists all across America that it's normal to be able to reconcile meteorology with the concept of rains of blood and biology with people who bring people back from the dead...

iPod rumors and rumors of iPod rumors 07/17/2004 10:05 AM
ThinkSecret's prediction of new sleeker standard iPods in August has been been adjusted this morning with the beans spilling of news of new white iPods to be announced Monday. This new prediction downshifts the previous rumor from being a standard iPod rumor to merely being an iPod mini rumor.

Rumors: Get 'em while they're hot

Rumors: Get 'em while they're hot 03/14/2005 04:23 PM
We all remember our first Mac rumor. Like our first tooth, kiss, paycheck or car, the first time we navigated to MacRumors or ThinkSecret or AppleInsider, and stumbled upon a tidbit that allowed us a glimpse into Apple’s fortress of development. It used to be that rumors were accurate about 50 percent of the time. And that was half of the fun — trying to decipher which parts of which rumor were correct, inaccurate or just completely fabricated. Raise your hand if you can remember iWalk. In recent years, however, a few rumor sites — especially ThinkSecret — have gotten a little too precise. For the most part, Apple’s announcements have become a matter of formality, as the community at-large (and often mainstream media outlets, too) have already received, absorbed and dissected the news, leaving little else save the decision to purchase. You have to admit, it's kind of taken the fun out of things. I mean, we were actually surprised when the iPod came out. No, really, we were. So, when Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge James P. Kleinberg ruled Friday that "an interested public is not the same as the public interest," part of me was eager for a return to the Apple of yore, when a Macworld keynote was a reason to stay up all night in anticipation. (The other part of me was deeply afraid that journalistic integrity and responsibility would continue to be eroded until the only source of reporting would lie somewhere between supermarket tabloids and FOX NEWS, filled with half-truths and barely relatable sound bytes, all slapped under a 140-point misleading headline. But that’s not the point of this particular column.) For the most part, I agree with Kleinberg's statement, even if the ruling troubles me as a journalist. Apple’s trade secrets are, indeed, stolen property, but it remains to be seen just how hard the company can lean on the bloggers in question. Before the ruling, for example, ThinkSecret published two more rumors on its site: one about iMacs and eMacs, and one about Tiger. So, will we return to a dry, rumorless existence? Will the fertile, accurate soil that grows today's rumors dry up once Apple begins to enforce its court-appointed power? Or are we simply in store for a battle of rhetoric? Yesterday’s reports on ThinkSecret cited "well placed sources" rather than the traditional "reliable source" we've all come to trust so readily. We've all seen countless rumor sites come and go, and come and go again, but never have we faced such a bitter fight for dominance. So grab 'em while you can, because reliable rumors may soon be as hard to find as an iPod with a FireWire cable. Or, I suppose, an iWalk.

Tungsten T6 Rumors

Tungsten T6 Rumors 03/17/2005 03:51 AM

The freshest rumors about PalmOne's forthcoming Tungsten read a little lot like a fairy tale, so we won't get our hopes up just yet. Features for the T6 (or Tungsten 2005, as the case may be) include Bluetooth, Wavelan, 1GB of Flash memory, a 3 MP digital camera, an ethernet port, iTunes compatibility, an initial price of about $400, Graffiti 2 Plus with voice commands and the ability to clean your teeth while you sleep and print money.

To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure I have enough grains of salt to accompany this list, especially considering the hat tip from A_Man_In_Black in #gizmodo:

The Tungstens consciously don't include cameras, because of workplace restrictions. A new high-end Palm with a camera would be a Zire, not a Tungsten.

Tungsten T6 Rumors Revisited, Not T6

Tungsten T6 Rumors Revisited, Not T6 03/19/2005 02:45 AM

So it appears that the rumors surrounding the next Tungsten have just gotten even more packed with whimsy. Palm Addict has received word that the new device will have 4GB of internal memory, weigh in a bit heavier than the T5 and will include built-in Wi-Fi. It will not, however, be called the T6, or even be part of the Tungsten line, for the rumor whispers on that it will be released at the end of April as a new sub-brand from palmOne. Take your rumors with an extra dose of salt today, please. (Thanks, Sammy!))

Rumors

Here We Go Again: Bad Reporters and Good
Rumors 06/06/2005 12:15 AM

I can always tell when the news machine is slowing down. It's kind of like there's sugar at the bottom of the Mac Web's gas tank, really. When their news tank gets low they start to pick up the same old crap at the bottom and try to use it to fuel the fires. What I underestimated was the level at which they pick that crap up. It seems that Mac reporters are very, very easily bored.

What I mean is that there's a good deal of news to actually cover, what with Tiger coming out to stellar reviews in spite of it being alpha-quality crap that has more bugs than the Temple of Doom. That, alone, should be decent fodder. If not that, then the sudden appearance of music videos in iTunes, or the supposed Babblecasting capabilities that 4.9 is said to bring in the future. They could bring up a whole lot of topics and keep them in the forefront with new ideas and new spin. When that runs out they could easily be useful and start talking about tips and how to get the most of the computer (which is the only reason I still have a Mac World subscription, really). No, they babble about the same crappy rumors to keep the hit counter spinning for the Ad Lords.

I mean, some of us just don't post anything for months when there's no news and nothing else comes to mind. It's not hard, really; you just walk away and go do something with your life for a while. It seems that some others just can't seem to handle that concept.

So, what crap lies at the bottom of that tank? The usual suspects, really. They are the insane ideas that spread like wildfire each time they're brought up and cause the predictable and easily-incited hoards of Mac fundamentalists to hit the message boards and their own pathetic little blogs and write and write and write about how it will (never) come to pass and how everyone else is just not seeing the "big picture" and how this idea could easy (save|kill) Apple, and computing in general! and so on and so forth.

Poppycock.

If you ever see an article on these topics, you're being played for a fool and should ignore it:

• Mac OS X for PCs (and the variant "Apple moves Macs to Intel")
• PowerBook G5
• Video iPod
• Movie store
• Apple-branded PDA

Let's just get it out into the open here and now, okay? Apple's not doing any of them; not now, and not years ago when it was first "reported" that they were. Quit daydreaming and get back on track. Whatever Apple's next innovation is, you won't see it coming until it slaps you across the face like the Apple bitch you are and gives you that tell-tale "you had it all wrong, again" look.

If it was easy to guess where Apple would steer the industry next then Sony would have long ago stolen the show from them. Sony has good designers, both aesthetic and electronic, and could easily best Apple out of the "niche computer artisan" market if they had any sense of direction at all. Well, and got rid of their NIH syndrome (ATRAC3-only in a digital Walkman? Dear God, man, what were you thinking?).

So, look, what this boils down to is that the next damn time I open MacSurfer and see a load of bullshit like any of this, I'm just going to stop reading web sites for a week. It's not worth sorting through this much stupidity and naïveté just to find out that it was a slow news day.

If you're a writer for the Mac Web, I urge you to listen to one piece of feedback: If there's nothing to report, stop writing and wait until there is.

Thank you, and good night.
