Wives are great for venting to

...and so, it seems, are blogs. The following is a rant from me to Kelli which was prompted by the slew of nonstop rumors and speculation regarding upcoming Apple products on tech/gadget websites such as Ubergizmo.

Dear freakishly obsessed people who are dying to eat up everything produced by that particular company: the iPhone 5 will look EXACTLY like the iPhone 4S with the following minor adjustments: The screen will be slightly larger but not enough to make any serious improvements in how you use your current phone; the charging/connector port will be reshaped/resized because Apple thinks that doing anything standardized means doing something WRONG and they want you to have to go out and buy new adapters and speaker docks which cost an out-of-this-world amount because they're specialized for this one device and thus haven't been mass produced like mini (or even micro) USB cables have; and lastly, the front-facing camera will shift half an inch from its previous location just to give freakishly obsessed fans something to talk about.

Furthermore, Ubergizmo posted an article last night titled, "iOS 6 and new iPhone plays your favorite song as an alarm". Is this something to get excited over? I've been doing this since owning my first smartphone, a BlackBerry Pearl, which I got around 4 years ago. The above-mentioned article concluded with the statement, "iOS 6 is certainly shaping up to be a mobile operating system not to be trifled with." Because I can finally wake up everyday to the bliss that is "Rock You Like a Hurricane"? Sorry Apple, I've been doing that for years.
