- llsethj, on 07/21/2008, -1/+68It is good to know that trading in Apple rumors is more lucrative than practicing medicine.
- redheadguy719, on 07/21/2008, -1/+53so...he doesn't actually exchange drugs for apple rumors?
- danmat06, on 07/21/2008, -8/+46So he traded one group of pale, whiney complainers for another.
No biggie. - n0odles, on 07/21/2008, -6/+27Uber fanboy.
- ut2k4king, on 07/21/2008, -1/+21So you're a pale whiney complainer in spirit?
- KMartSheriff, on 07/21/2008, -2/+20Yeah. How dare he do what he wants.
- biofreak12, on 07/21/2008, -11/+29That's ***** up.
- DanielQ, on 07/21/2008, -2/+19More power to him.
- lordtyros, on 07/21/2008, -6/+22Agreed. Even a mediocre doctor makes more of a positive impact on the planet than a enabler of trivial consumerism does.
- nickspohn, on 07/21/2008, -2/+15being a doctor is a full time job.
being a blogger to this magnitude is a full time job.
if i had to choose, i'd choose the second one because he also has a daughter at home. He can make a 6 figure income from his house and still spend a lot more time with his daughter. - deadbaby, on 07/21/2008, -0/+12Sounds like he has a good career to fall back on.
- quamb, on 07/21/2008, -2/+12macrumors used to be more interesting before the iPhone came out. Now is 99% focused on that damn thing.
- KMartSheriff, on 07/21/2008, -0/+8At least you're not bitter or anything.
- DanielQ, on 07/21/2008, -0/+7Yes.
- nickspohn, on 07/21/2008, -4/+11And thanks to Apple, Arn is going to make more money than he did in his other career. I'm glad he's happy doing this though.
- santaliqueur, on 07/21/2008, -1/+8So in contrast, all Microsoft users are all smooth talking, tall, dark skinned beautiful people?
No. - TheRedNewt, on 07/21/2008, -1/+8Probably because both are time consuming and 24 hours = 24 hours.
- TyrannousDotNet, on 07/21/2008, -1/+7i misread the title,
as the doctor who sells prescriptions for juicy rumors and blogs them... - KMartSheriff, on 07/21/2008, -1/+7Seriously. This kid is making money in a market that wasn't there before, and all the armchair jockies on Digg are giving him crap, calling him an idiot, blaming Apple, etc. I just can't believe how narrow minded people can be about stuff like this. He's making money and no one's getting hurt in the process.
Anyone who tells him he's wrong for doing it is jealous they couldn't do it themselves. - j1a1g1, on 07/21/2008, -4/+10so I guess that's arn
- TaintBrush, on 07/21/2008, -3/+9Sooo if practicing medicine and MacRumors provide comparable wages, why not continue practicing medicine AND MacRumors, for two ridiculous incomes? 2+2=4.
- Shaman760, on 07/21/2008, -3/+9Congratulations to this man. He is creating a mark(et) where one formerly did not exist. "Find a need and fill it" at it's finest.
- nickspohn, on 07/21/2008, -2/+7i think the same goes for digg too.
only for some people though. like yourself. - FlyingPhotog, on 07/21/2008, -0/+5Just like Digg.
- Adisah, on 07/21/2008, -0/+4Yeah. If you realized that the American healthcare system is about giving you drugs to "treat" your symptoms not cure. I would have left that job any day. It's so simple. Eat natural foods for your natural body and you'll be fine. Stop eating that fake crap that you buy that is processed and canned. It has plenty of chemicals that you may not even know. You have no right to say that it's a waste of society's time. What have you comitted to society? Relentless negativety?
- theutopian, on 07/21/2008, -0/+4Last time I checked the American Dream = doing whatever the hell you want with your life.
- SuperIntendo, on 07/21/2008, -4/+8Way to go Arn! Thanks for a great site, matter of fact, thanks for my homepage!
- DanielQ, on 07/21/2008, -0/+4That's not necessarily true. Sure, there's some risk, but Apple isn't going away.
- KMartSheriff, on 07/21/2008, -2/+6Except the sites apparently been going strong for a while now, and Apple isn't going anywhere any time soon. There's a reason he's making money "blogging" and you're not. Complain/bitch/whatever all you want; it only helps your immaturity and ignorance blossom.
- nickspohn, on 07/21/2008, -1/+5uh, just because he's doing this doesn't mean he's condemned from being a Dr. forever. If Apple has a sudden crash (which i doubt would happen in the near future) he could go back to being a doctor.
- Dotcommer, on 07/21/2008, -0/+4Now see, I read the title as someone's son actually trading medicine just to get some inside info on apple stuff.
- GoatMonkey2112, on 07/21/2008, -0/+3Tom of Tom's Hardware was a doctor also. Maybe this is a trend.
- fastly, on 07/21/2008, -0/+3Good on Dr. Kim! What an incredible achievement to have built MacRumours to such scale whilst holding down a full time medical career... I'm surprised he didn't go full time earlier.
- perandre, on 07/21/2008, -3/+5Three MrBabyMan-stories on the front page now.
- TaintBrush, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2Meh, I guess. But still he had been doing it for years now without faltering.
- ut2k4king, on 07/21/2008, -5/+7I find this problematic only because rumors concerning Apple will only be lucrative for a limited time. Either hype will die down about the whole aspect of them as a whole sometime in the years that he hopes to maintain a steady income, or they'll get muscled out.
- thepandoras, on 07/21/2008, -1/+3This may have been one of the funniest comments in a while.
- SealandRes1, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2I like
burying you - Greengoo, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2Did you REALLY just make that comparison?
- MtheoryX, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2Trading medicine, like rufies for rumors? Interesting proposition.
- BlueStarr, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1lol @ut2k4king and I dugg you up cause it's true.
- BlueStarr, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1Bitter much? lol
- PilotHead, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1I thought an Apple a day kept the doctor away....
- daveintokyo, on 07/21/2008, -1/+2I like
turtles - bovox, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1First of all, that is not the American Dream.
Second of all, this greedy, self-centered, "me first" attitude of yours is what is wrong with this country. I just wish everybody wasn't so greedy. - toetagger, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1You're prolly some nerdy white guy wishes he was all tan and stuff.
- inactive, on 07/21/2008, -6/+7You're a latino so you obviously stole the Mac and the white whiney owner's mentality with it.
- macmangb, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1Tough decision, when you are a doctor you're only helping one person at a time, when you writing for MacRumors, while you are certainly helping in the same way, you are certainly bringing a lot of joy to millions around the world.
~Garry - inactive, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1"Creating anything beyond a bare-bones Web site required programming skills and tech knowledge." hahaha yes it was just so hard back in the the html3.2/4.0 days, lulz
