What would it mean if Apple's invite to their next event says something like "We'd like for you to watch this."

Will it be an iWatch or an iTV? Or both?

Because it looks like the rumoured "iWatch" is imminent:

And of course, an "iTV" has been rumoured since time immemorial:

Dear Apple, Re: Your Maps

So you've changed your Maps app's map data from Google to your own. Good for you.

My thoughts exactly.

Baseless Prediction/Speculation/Guess: The rumored "cheap" iPhone will be a revamped iPhone 4. [UPDATED]

There's a lot of talk about Apple releasing a cheaper iPhone model. People are saying it could be an iPhone mini... with a 3.5" screen? Or a plastic one? Laughable, all of them. But, I don't know, nothing's impossible, except... No, I don't think they'll call a 3.5" iPhone a "mini" because they already call it an iPhone 4 or 4S. I also guessed, well it could be an iPhone nano -- the iPod nano with phone capabilities.

But here's the thing. When the iPhone 4 came out in 2010, at least the iPhone 3GS was still being sold as the cheaper model (but still not cheap). When the iPhone 4S came out in 2011, the iPhone 4 and 3GS were still being sold as the cheaper models (but still not cheap). And so on:

How Apple could make a cheap iPhone

You should read John Gruber:

This “Apple should make a cheap iPhone” thing reminds me of the “Apple should make a cheap netbook” argument from four or five years ago.

Really? You write an unconvincing argument for an iPhone mini and you write yet another one?

This time, the "tech bloggers" who think they know Apple are writing again. (Sorry, no links to poorly written articles.)

An idea for a "cheap" iDevice... Plus a living room solution / gaming console / entertainment center / etc. Hear me out! [UPDATED]

I must stress though that is just an idea! Wishful thinking, if you want to call it. But it's certainly not a prediction. :D

Of course, Google or Samesung or whoever else could just swallow up this idea and make it their own, but Apple has the best eco-system and industrial design philosophy in place for this to work and to sell.

The idea is this: cheap 4-inch iDevices, for only $99 (or maybe $149 or $199) each. You can play or run all the games and apps from the App Store, and consume all the audio and video and books you want, and maybe even make phone calls and send/receive messages.

Why is the iPad mini so @#$% expensive?

I thought I had already blogged about this months ago, but apparently, I haven't. And I've never yet heard nor read anyone say this anywhere on the interwebs.

iPhone mini that is cheaper than the "regular-sized" iPhone? NO.

Yet another young "tech blogger," with little knowledge of Apple, blogs again. This time arguing that it makes perfect sense for Apple to have an iPhone mini. No links to badly written articles, sorry. Try to Yahoo Search it yourself.

But the problem is, the leaders of Apple are suggesting otherwise:

Baseless Prediction: The next Mac Pro, made in the USA(?) and coming out in 2013, should probably be...

...a cube.

+= Next Mac Pro?

Oblong -- the next Apple? Or are they just the next Commodore?

Google is the greatest web company ever. They weren't the first one, though. And in fact, most of the things they did were things others were already offering to the general public, except that they just made it all better:

What people don't know about Professional Bloggers. And for-profit corporations.

Professional bloggers write things that strike at the emotions. They write mostly opinion pieces, which, last I heard, are not facts. Case in point, one article from Gizmodo:

Haters gonna hate.

One blogger said:

Three kinds of Apple fanboys

I realized there are 3 kinds of Apple fanboys.

A. People who are fans of Apple products only.
B. People who are fans of Apple history and culture, it being a business.
C. Both A and B.

"A" fans are usually just fans of recent Apple products. They only got to know about Apple since it became popular over the last decade. They see Apple products as lifestyle (i.e. "luxury" / expensive) products that they want but not necessarily need to have, and buy them often despite the costs and publicly perceived "flaws." They often demand the latest and greatest from Apple, or for Apple to offer things that are seemingly better than the competition. They want Apple to give higher resolution cameras, higher resolution screens, faster processors, more memory and storage, and so on. If Apple releases an update to a relatively new product these people bought, they are mad as hell at Apple, because suddenly, they're not the most popular kid with the shiniest gadget on the block anymore. "A" fans think Steve Jobs is Apple.

2013 and Scott Forstall

People seem quick to discount Apple since losing Steve Jobs to tech heaven back in 2011. People now think Apple needs another Steve Jobs, or else!

Would Steve Jobs be mad at today's Apple? If Steve Jobs were alive, Apple would probably not start their decline, right?

How about ask these instead:

Can your iPhone do this? LOL

Baseless Prediction: Future OS X codenames

If you're a Mac fan, you know what this list means:

Who needs an iPad mini?

Well, of course there are those who like the "glitz" that Apple products give them. It's like a status symbol.

A brief summary of why Apple sued Samsung

Here's a very, very brief summary of why Apple sued Samsung for $2.8b and not others, and probably why Apple easily convinced the jury that the case is theirs (but only for $1b, not $2.8b):
