Marketing games are ANNOYING

[Buffsteria]

That nerfherder saying that they're going to "double down on secrecy" is so disrespectful to the consumer base. I don't know why we put up with this crap. I'm thinking that they actually won't refresh/redesign/update any Macs this WWDC and that they'll actually do some silent releases later. Marketing games. Then people think nothing is coming out and they buy the old stock up. Then Apple releases the new stuff.

It's just annoying and yes I want to be wrong.

srsly? you are putting effort in ranting when we'll actually know for sure in 18 hours?

some people...

Not much of a rant but I had one paragraph still in me. ;-)

I think that's very possible, but it's equally possible they'll release new Macs. I like the second one better.

I say that could be possible although it most likely won't happen. I'm quite sure there will be announcements tomorrow. But I do believe there won't be a huge evolution in the Mac line and others. Will substantially remain very much like the actual ones.

The Apple approach to secrecy has created a whole network of websites following every move the company makes, Mac Rumors included. Apple have benefitted massively from this publicity. Many companies wish they could have the same.

I don't see any games. Apple releases their products when their ready to go. If you look at some companies like Dell & HP, they put out a release dates on new Workstations only to constantly move back the shipping date or place on back order. If anything their the ones playing the games.

Agreed for the most part. But the announcement and launching of the white iPhone 4 was clearly botched.
