- Wailord, on 05/29/2008, -1/+71Dugg for humor... author thinks he's the cybersleuth leading the truth brigade to freedom.
- Stormwave0, on 05/29/2008, -6/+75After the TV-B-Gone remote incident at CES, I'm surprised with the amount of coverage they get here on Digg.
I find Engadget to have far more content anyway. - staticfish, on 05/28/2008, -37/+99Who cares..
Gizmodo are just too sleezy - baldduck, on 05/29/2008, -7/+65Do any of these people speak English, please?
- inactive, on 05/29/2008, -8/+63Note to editor.
When stealing news to put in your ***** blog, research the sources just a little bit.
Sorry ***** - inactive, on 05/29/2008, -2/+38Absolutely true. They are amateurish and give tech bloggers a bad name.
- isunktheship, on 05/29/2008, -7/+39People still read Gizmodo after the CES stunt?
hell even before that... :X - WomensUnderwear, on 05/29/2008, -1/+29***** GIZMODO
- hungryduck, on 05/29/2008, -2/+22Mac doesn't make iPhones.
- mnederlanden, on 05/29/2008, -2/+18Dugg for the "All your base are belong to us" grammar.
- mcnasby, on 05/29/2008, -0/+12Is true, iPhone pussy magnet?
- headzoo, on 05/29/2008, -0/+12Go back to 4chan.
- CDoug03, on 05/29/2008, -24/+35It's a conspiracy. Ask Hillary.
- Skitals, on 05/29/2008, -0/+10And from my newsreader, here is the pulled story:
Yesterday I was talking with a contact in one of the European carriers that will be selling the iPhone 3G in June. I'm really getting sick of people claiming that they got leaked images while it is painfully obvious that they are fake. Yesterday, a white version appeared and gullible people still believed it may be true, even while it is obvious that it is the same third-party case we saw in black not so long ago. So I asked: "really, do you guys have the iPhone 3G?"
Yes, we have iPhone 3Gs to test with their network and services. However, they are not the actual iPhones.
In other words: their engineers got the guts, but not the iPhone itself in final form. No design features, no leaked photos, no *****. Just the necessary stuff to do field tests. In fact, nobody outside of Cupertino has seen it, except VIP people who have met with His Steveness.
This is exactly what happened when the first iPhone was getting ready to launch in the United States. AT&T people will get part of the hardware, not even the user interface part, to test their service and network.
So even while the final phone may look like these fakes (after all, there's only a limited number of ways to design a touch-screen cellphone,) the fact is that there are no iPhones 3G out there for people to take blurry photos. Security at Apple keeps being as strong as always, so if you people see another allegedly leaked photo of the iPhone 3G, posted somewhere to drive traffic or call for attention or make fun of gullible people, just remember this: no iPhones 3Gs are running rampant around. And friends don't let friends believe in fake *****. - cr4wl3r, on 05/29/2008, -7/+17***** you and ***** Politics. I'm reading tech news.
- wontstoptalking, on 05/29/2008, -4/+14They're here, if you need them:
http://www.iphonehellas.gr/1151/iphone-3g-leaked-p ...
(those are the ones Giz pulled from their site, if it's true)
I don't know if I believe it, though. The slogans:
"three colors.....three different ways of life"
That doesn't seem like Apple to me. Too exotic. However, I might soon be eating my words... - wc3452, on 05/29/2008, -0/+8You're trying too hard.
- inactive, on 05/29/2008, -7/+15I mysteriously bury all iPhone articles.
- Niightwitch, on 05/29/2008, -0/+7Ummm....yes, we all just read that. Do you have anything constructive you'd like to add?
- inactive, on 05/29/2008, -1/+7What the ***** does the description mean? Idiot.
- mrhahn, on 05/29/2008, -4/+10Or, let's respond to their harmful, immature joke (it completely disrupted/ended a lot of the presentations) by going elsewhere when we want professional tech news coverage (i.e. Engadget).
- opiniastrous, on 05/29/2008, -1/+6Jesus, give the guy a break. There is a learning process you know - people can't just master complicated cognitive processes that allow you to communicate in a foreign code.
- Zalyster, on 05/29/2008, -0/+4Let me finish with her first, I don't want to be interrupted.
- bob12321, on 05/29/2008, -0/+4What is a 'plx'?
- inactive, on 05/29/2008, -2/+6Maybe my having a career and a family has clouded my priorities in life, but aren't we just talking about rumors for a phone?
Why should I give a ***** about all these stories? Enough already. - jdhlywd, on 05/29/2008, -0/+4Here is the original post - http://ageekspot.wordpress.com/2008/05/28/leaked-i ...
- sclifford, on 05/29/2008, -9/+13How many languages do you speak fluently?
- Angostura, on 05/29/2008, -0/+4Next week: "Cars are 4 wheeled devices that move from A to B, that's all that is required by anyone"
- cmsjustin, on 05/29/2008, -0/+3Dugg for Cartman Wii reference
- Wetzilla, on 05/30/2008, -0/+3The ad was for 3 am, fail.
- inactive, on 05/29/2008, -0/+3you assume too much. its probably just an error. The link is still on the main page, its just broken. If this was some super duper coverup conspiracy im sure they woulda removed it a long time ago
- Skitals, on 05/29/2008, -1/+4I read the gizmodo story, and you people have got it all wrong. They did not say all the leaked photos are fake, they said that the REAL 3g iphones the carriers have for testing are fake! Fake as in, they are just the 3g iphone innards in boring, none iphone casings. So the new iphones the carriers are testing do not look like the leaked pics, but that does not mean the leaked pics are fake.
I know, its confusing. Which is why they pulled the story. I had to read it twice myself. - Skitals, on 05/29/2008, -1/+4And in reading this a third time, I realize that gizmodo is quite retarded. They are saying that since the carriers are testing "fake" 3g iphones, then there are NO "real" 3g iphones in existence. That makes no sense. The only logical thing to say is: IF the leaked photos are real, they are not from samples sent to the carriers. They would be from a different source (most likely manufacturing or internal to apple).
'nuff said. - Fantom05, on 05/29/2008, -0/+3And...if the black iPhone now has black buttons on the side, why would they all of a sudden give it white buttons?
- Schmich, on 05/29/2008, -2/+5Because you would have understood it better if he wrote it in his mother tongue?
- doogly, on 05/29/2008, -0/+3Gizmodo added that story shortly after Engadget posted their exclusive photos. They were clearly pissed at Engadget and trying to diss them like they've done before (and are now infamous for). Obviously they eventually realized "oh wait, the leading tech blog on the internet might be right about a future product" and pulled their article.
- inactive, on 05/29/2008, -0/+3People would stop writing fake iphone articles if everyone would stop digging up every speculative piece of crap fiction anyone writes about it. It's like when I act like I'm throwing something for my dog to fetch, then it runs in the other room, looks around, then realizes I'm a liar.
- Firehed, on 05/29/2008, -1/+3That's the beauty of the internet - if you don't care, move on to a different story. It's not like TV where eight stations have the same inaccurate coverage of the same event that nobody cares about in the first place.
- inactive, on 05/29/2008, -0/+2My iPhone replaced my iPod. If this one has GPS that doesn't have a monthly fee, it will keep me from having to get a GPS device. It can text, call, get email, and you can browse the internet.
It's 'just a phone' sure, but it has features that are insanely useful. - inactive, on 05/29/2008, -1/+3Actually, Engadget isn't that bad...
- winnopeg, on 05/29/2008, -1/+3Pile of ***** > Gizmodo
- brendanryder, on 05/29/2008, -2/+4Maybe they got paid off?
- gavin422, on 05/29/2008, -0/+2Wait, so what exactly does this mean?
- timusca, on 05/29/2008, -4/+6None, but you don't see me trying to write an article in another language and trying to pull it off as though I am fluent, do you?
- bob12321, on 05/29/2008, -1/+3Go back to your mom.
- ethamajin, on 05/29/2008, -0/+2Both of those sites are pretty *****, and hard to read for very long. What else is there though?
- mwalker05, on 05/29/2008, -0/+1or maybe they pulled it down because of something apple's legal team sent them? as apple is famous for doing when too much is starting to be revealed about their upcoming products?
- inactive, on 05/29/2008, -0/+1Factual research? Hmm what a novel approach to an article on Digg. It'll never catch on though.
- inactive, on 05/29/2008, -1/+2Dugg for using that phrase and not being dugg down, good work!
