Slacker, I agree. They lost some credibility last time. But I think this will pass as people realize what really drives the stock, products and earnings. Just IMHO. AJ

Just a guess, but I think that there could be some unrevealed features in the new iPhone. The presentation didnt really show very much and Apple did the same thing with the first version (waited to reveal YouTube). iphoneatlas.com Did Steve Jobs demo a Flash-enabled iPhone 3G? Posted 12 June 2008 @ 10am in News Yesterday we pointed out an image on Apple’s Web site that is indicative of an iPhone 3G displaying Adobe Flash content, but may have simply been a case of the company’s graphic design team cropping a Desktop browser image to fit the device’s screen. We’ve now discovered another bit of evidence that, albeit similarly speculative, would seem to show an iPhone 3G making use of Flash. During Steve Jobs’ keynote address, a speed test was conducted, pitting AT&T 3G speed against AT&T EDGE speed, both tests conducted on an iPhone 3G (one with 3G enabled, the other without). The site Jobs chose to render was nationalgeographic.com. On current iPhones running OS 1.1.4, and in the iPhone Simulator included with the iPhone SDK, nationalgeographic.com renders with a picture of a cheetah and the message “This presentation requires Flash. Download free Flash player.” On the keynote-demonstrated iPhone 3G, however, the site renders the same cheetah image without the “This presentation requires Flash” message. Interesting. Of course, on a full-fledged Desktop browser with Adobe Flash, an interactive presentation is displayed in place of the cheetah image, so this (like yesterday’s discovery) certainly does not confirm Flash on the iPhone. The situation is still curious though; did Apple edit the graphic on the National Geographic home page to delete the Flash warning? That seems awfully contrived, but not completely surprising. Once again, judge for yourself: The current iPhone (OS 1.1.4) rendering nationalgeographic.com:

>>The statement would normally be enough, but the problem for Apple is that they lost credibility by their silence during Jobs's cancer scare. Put Jobs on CNBC for a 2 minute interview where he laughs off the rumors and talks about the cold he came down with last week and his weight loss due to his all tofu diet and the story is over. Anybody pushing the rumor gets burned beyond belief and is unlikely to spread anything along these lines in the near future.<< Slacker - My friends and I were discussing this over lunch. We decided that the "bug and antibiotics" story was probably true, since it would be seriously illegal for them to lie about that. But we also agreed that while that story is true, it may not be the whole story. I, myself, am on chemotherapy. I also had a "bug" a few weeks ago, and was put on antibiotics for it. The two are not mutually exclusive. Jobs really does look excessively skinny and wan in the latest pictures and video. I hope he is well. If he does have something more serious than a bug, there is no reason to assume it is more likely to kill him than it would be to think the chemo I'm having is going to kill me. We are both, after all, only 53 years old and have both generally enjoyed good health. I am not looking my best right now, either. But I'm not likely to die soon. Today's action in the stock looked like it found equilibrium. This could portend some sideways action for a while, until the situation is resolved to everyone's satisfaction one way or another. - Allen
