Kevin Rose Nails Today's Apple News

gizmodo.com — So Digg's Kevin Rose polished off his crystal ball prior to today's Apple event, as he is wont to do. We posted on his rumors, with the necessary skepticism. And now as the dust settles on our live coverage, we doff our hat to everyone's favorite iSight Carnac: just about every single detail Kevin hit, including the actual nano shot, was 100% true

  • jakatak, on 09/10/2008, -1/+126Kevin Rose has inside sources. he's not magical.
  • GJempire11, on 09/09/2008, -12/+72The only thing he didn't get right was the price cuts across the board But besides that he was dead on.




    *Kevin Rose Fanboy

  • TheWorm, on 09/10/2008, -1/+43I wish I had fanboys.
  • streak, on 09/09/2008, -7/+49Super! We all know who to blame for spoiling today's surprises. Thanks, Kevin, you're a gem!
  • inactive, on 09/10/2008, -6/+44The love for Kevin Rose is slightly homoerotic.

    Apple leaked the data to him.
  • hbeierg, on 09/10/2008, -1/+29*The Worm fanboy
  • iamacomputer, on 09/10/2008, -1/+25"TheWorm" this, "TheWorm" that, ALL I HEAR ABOUT ANYMORE IS THEWORM! I'm sick of it, this is the final straw. You will all soon regret ever sliding through your mother's cold, goopy vagina hole thingy. REGRET I SAY!!
  • hoberion, on 09/10/2008, -0/+19The Worm is here? not a fake?

    all hail to the worm overlord (rumor has it that if he gets cut in 2 you actually have 2 worms!)
  • cfuse, on 09/10/2008, -1/+20Kevin knows what's happening at Apple because he's banging Steve Jobs - why else do you think Jobs looks so sick while Kevin looks young and plump - Kevin's sucking the lifeforce out of him - one sex act at a time.
  • championchap, on 09/10/2008, -0/+17OMG YOU ACTUALLY POSTED?!
    If i could digg you up more i would! :)

  • Wang, on 09/10/2008, -2/+18I wouldn't be surprised if Apple deliberately release the information to Kevin and give him permission to "secretly" leak it...let's face it, it only helps Apple and creates hype :)
  • Kappa, on 09/10/2008, -0/+16*The Worm fanboy
  • drex8, on 09/10/2008, -5/+21"as he is wont to do"
    What? Gizmodo got too English now?

  • inactive, on 09/10/2008, -3/+17Gug gug gug gug guggg gug gug gug gug gug gug

    Ahh the disturbing sounds of his dong in your mouths
  • godinster, on 09/10/2008, -7/+20Buried for Kevin Rose
  • m0zzie, on 09/10/2008, -1/+13http://www.crashonmyhead.com/captain_obvious.jpg
  • nunquam, on 09/10/2008, -0/+12FAKE. Everyone knows The Worm doesn't actually post on stories, buried.
  • m0zzie, on 09/10/2008, -0/+12you might say he likes apple sauce.

    *shoots self in face*
  • herrshuster, on 09/10/2008, -1/+12wont is an incredible word
  • Ksg89, on 09/09/2008, -10/+20Its Kevin Rose, even if he was wrong he will be loved
  • Nichael, on 09/10/2008, -1/+10It's no so much homoerotic as it is creepy, and sycophantic.
  • inactive, on 09/10/2008, -0/+9swoosh!


    This message brought to you by Nike. Home of the airstab.
  • dn11, on 09/10/2008, -1/+10sounds to me like they are intentionally leaking to build hype.
  • mediaspree, on 09/10/2008, -7/+15So is digg being bought out by apple to promote its products "viraly" a few days beforehand??
  • inactive, on 09/10/2008, -3/+10When you guys get done kissing Kevin's ass let me know. I'm not impressed with those earbuds not working on the iPhone. I guess I'll end up having to pay the extra 30 bucks for for something that will work but may not sound as good. Thanks Jobs...prick.
  • serif69, on 09/10/2008, -0/+7I am having a hard time trying to figure out how a comment on grammar can be grammatically correct yet make no sense whatsoever.
  • Urkel, on 09/10/2008, -1/+8http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/backstage/comment ...
    iLounge predicted it a month before Kevin. But let's all ignore that.
  • Genecalypse, on 09/10/2008, -8/+15if i praise kevin rose will i be cool too?
  • linagee, on 09/10/2008, -1/+7slightly?
  • dagamer34, on 09/10/2008, -2/+7I mean, congrats to Kevin for nailing this one, but these events aren't as much fun as they used to be if you pretty much predict what's going to come out. I mean, imagine if we had heard NOTHING about the Genius feature. It could have easily been that "One more thing..." But it really makes little sense to do that if the internet blogs have been buzzing about it for days.

    Though if you say any rumor enough, it's bound to come true. i just don't like the fact that these keynote events are simply confirming predictions now instead of total surprises. And no, I am not going to live under a rock for a month to avoid Apple news.
  • Sokkratez, on 09/10/2008, -1/+6So he knows somebody that likes to break NDAs. Uh, cool?
  • inactive, on 09/10/2008, -0/+5Except that his crystal ball was probably an Apple VP at a cocktail party.
  • clos, on 09/10/2008, -0/+4i love how these kinds of stories are not on reddit
  • coldfusion1970, on 09/10/2008, -0/+4I would rather have some woman-boys ...

    Actually i'm not sure if that came out how i intended it.
  • dukeeeey, on 09/10/2008, -0/+4so apple and digg are in bed together
    that's nice
  • roxgod666, on 09/10/2008, -2/+6Jobs was like "it is a very thriving ecosystem...sometimes they announce products even before we want them too"
    Kevin Rose just made it on Apple's hit list
  • martoq, on 09/10/2008, -0/+4Unfortunately...the price cuts were the one thing I was hoping for.
  • beerbarron, on 09/10/2008, -0/+3On a different note, anyone else disappointed that there was no ...one last thing?
  • Viz200, on 09/10/2008, -0/+3Isn't this the same thing that caused Apple to sue thinksecret.com?

    If someone at Apple leaked anything to Kevin it was likely because it was a 6 on their awesome news scale, and they needed help building the hype before yesterday.

    Not knocking Kevin, but I'll be more impressed when (if) he breaks news of Apple's next paradigm shifting device.

    That would be impressive.
  • birch25, on 09/10/2008, -0/+3even if it wasn't spoiled, would we be super excited now? i really don't think so. itunes 8 is cool and i really am liking the genius feature but the new ipod news was kind of meh all around.

    disclaimer: this is coming from a big apple fan
  • readme, on 09/10/2008, -0/+3This was the first Apple event I can remember that was completely spoiled. Jobs is gonna catch the mole.
  • mouthymadness, on 09/10/2008, -0/+3THE WORM! Sign my forehead!
  • brainintraining, on 09/10/2008, -0/+3OMG IT'S THE WORM... I'm like your biggest fan!
  • kyleh, on 09/10/2008, -3/+6Well done.
    Let's just hope that source of yours doesn't get fired
