Steve's full D8 vid - in Flash!!!

WWSD@WWDC?

Slobzilla's 2010 WWDC crackpot prediction:

An HTML5 OS X that will run iPhone and iPad apps. Think about a cloud-based Snow Leopard that would kill Google Chrome in its infancy and put Flash in a death spiral. I'm just sayin'.

You Put Up They Shut Up

An open memo to Steve Jobs:

Dear Jesus,

Please buy Adobe and make them play nice. Everyone knows Flash would be fine if it were only called Quicktime. You could make that happen. Or, you could give it away. How better to smite your enemies and prove your point about poor code quality than to give it to the world to see for themselves? Apple's stock price is making new highs while Adobe's languishes, but it's not a bad company. I'm sure you could whip them into shape. The important thing is to promote harmony as you remake the world.

 Yours, Slobzilla

What is and what will ever Steve?

OK, so the iPad looks like an overgrown iPod Touch and does all of the same things. Sadly, it does not have a camera so there go the photography apps, but everything else is supposed to work peachy and Apple whipped up a version of iWork because they insist businesses will use their stuff someday! Just when you thought you were out the 3G version pulls you back in, with AT&T that is. They have another exclusive deal with AT&T, but no contract this time. Either pay the monthly fee or don't. Surfing the web via 3G will cost fifteen clams per month if you can limit yourself to 250mb of porn (so that's out) or thirty bones for unlimited porn-gazing. It surfs more than porn, too, for those rare occasions you need the web to augment your non-porn trivia bank. All in all, not as much to write home about this time.

We can and should be getting excited about the A4 chip, though. Should you still have an Edge model or plain 3G, how is it performing? Notice it slowing down? Try putting some larger apps on it an try again. If we're going to really use this stuff we need powerful chips and, according to Apple, the A4 is a screamer. Let's hope they soon start stuffing them in the phones. Opening the iPhone up to other carriers is the only thing higher on our wish list.

Whenever Apple has a mysterious product on the way those possessing mad Photoshop skills get busy. This thing is an artist's rendition of the phantom Apple tablet that may or may not be announced next month.

This is how The Onion saw it:
