Maybe I'm too much of a cynic, but I also don't think Apple would ever let a Hulu app through their approval system, as it might be seen as competing against iTunes's TV episode sales.

I'm talking about apple once again misconstruing facts when it would have been just as easy to say "New customers will pay this...." Especially since last year they went, "Hey everyone... you get it for this much!" I'm upset because they left the assumption that it would be that price. BTW, I wouldn't "lose your shit" about anything on the internet. Life does have a bigger purpose than someone's (even my own) lame internet rant. I never said it does make me exempt.

Why not be thankful for the amazingly convenient life this type of technology ALREADY provides? Or just be grateful for the fact that you can even afford to care about something as superfluous as what is coming out on the next iPhone.

I don't know if anyone wrote up anything about this, but I think it is a load of cow dung that they "fixed" their numbers to include all 40 million shipped units of iphones/itouches in their "We tripled our OS X user base in one year!" rant. The only things that I walked away from in the keynote is that they misrepresented a lot of thing. First, the misdirection of the number of OS X users. Second, the upgrade prices from going to the standard 4Gb of RAM in the MacPro line to 8Gb ($1000). And finally, the prices of the iPhone 3GS. There is no reason why people should have had to read the "fine print" to find out that they weren't afterall going to be able to pay $199 or $299. It wasn't the worst keynote ever, but it sure did have a lot of BS in it. I would like them to continue bashing Microsoft though and then when they present their own software have it fail like the Line 6 demo. Watching them back pedal is amusing.
