My thoughts exactly.

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.)

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:

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:

Fired execs, Scott Forstall & Steven Sinofsky, forming one company would be...

Wow, I can't imagine what kind of new things they might come up with. A new cross-device OS that'll kill Windows and iOS and Android and maybe Xbox, too? But, maybe it should have emulators to be able to at least run Windows and Android, ala the OS X Bootcamp. I was thinking they could hook up with Firefox and make that Firefox OS a reality that we all can really use. But then again, they should probably thinking up new computing paradigms altogether. No more mice. Not just touch screens. Or voice. Maybe, go 3D.

And then again, Forstall technically isn't leaving Apple until 2013, and only Sinofsky is totally out of Microsoft. I am really wishfully thinking that Forstall, for this next year at Apple as "special advisor to the CEO", is actually just dreaming up the next new thing. He isn't gonna be SVP of iOS anymore, sure. But maybe he can become SVP of [insert name of next new thing here] by the end of 2013. He is such a talent that Apple probably wouldn't really want to go to competition. A jerk, but is a talent. Reminds me of someone.

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.

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
