    On second thought, that last point was dumb. Scratch that.



    I'd like to see Apple drop its price of products over their lifecycle.



    eg: If, in 4 months, the price of a 16GB whatever is going to drop $100 to accommodate a new 32GB whatever, would it be possible to drop the price $50 in 2 months, then another $50 in 4 months?

    Wait though.....what about the event on Feb. 26th?!

    That event is not in New York is it? I thought the SDK was going to debut then. What the hell is going on?

    I'm confused....and a little scared.

    iPod Shuffle Party!



    Linkin Park: "It came in 1 gig but now it's 2 in the end that's two shuffle models!"



    I mean come on a whole event around the shuffle would be glorious!

    A bunch of sources say that's a british term. But if it's not, that's even less support for the term.

    Since I don't think this story is all that newsworthy to begin with I'm going to contribute to the off topic banter... just so you know it wasn't without consideration.



    Waiting on line, from an actual grammatical goddess rather than google (you'll have to scroll down for the section ragarding "on line".

    I think the author is dyslexic and meant to write 'nuclear weather', to indicate that the event will be explosive.

    When I read that "shh?it?s a secret," my first thought was that Apple told Shinoda to say it, for the explicit purpose of generating chatter about the event, of building up anticipation.

    Two problems with that . . . (1) a spelling checker would flag neither 'unclear' nor 'weather', and (2) what software checks for spells? Would I find it at Salem.com?



    If you're going to correct a professional journalist, make sure no editor is behind you. ;-)

    Very true, and Chiodos should be cleaning the toilets.

    To be honest, the most logical date would be tomorrow since they have a day off and they're scheduled at the garden on thursday. Seems a little sudden though.



    As for products, since Linkin Park is involved, it has to be the much anticipated iSuck.

    How about this. I've never heard someone say "wait on line" here in England. (South-- Leicester and London areas.) Maybe particular areas might say it. But everywhere I've been use the term "queue". "Queue up" "queue jump" "where's the queue?".



    The end.



    (Thanks MarkAllan for originally posting :P)

    where in the hell does it say Feb 21st? I thought there was an SDK event next Tuesday the 26th. Why is everyone saying tomorrow?

    Because we're all hoping that we will finally get to see what we really want as soon as possible whether it be new cinema displays or new macbook pros. We're tired of waiting and will look for any excuse for it to happen.



    As far as Tuesday's event goes. It's not happening. There would have been invites by now.

    The event is sure to have some very good product announcements since they got such a weak band
