nikf:
- Predict failure of new apple product
- Attribute early success of new apple product to rabid fanbois affected by the reality distortion field
- Attribute longer term success of product to stupidity of consumers
- Purchase previously scorned product for stupid relatives so they stop bothering you to help support the open source version of apple product sold by Super Lucky Technology Extreme that you convinced them to buy
- Purchase previously scorned product for yourself just to see what all the fuss is about
- Admit that you now own and use the product, but complain about the product’s lack of an sd card slot on Internet forum
- Forget prior criticism of product, claim that it was revolutionary and an example of how apple used to be really innovative, but has now lost its edge.
Rinse and repeat

I’ve run pitchfork.tumblr.com for almost a year now. I had several posts up and I followed 28 people with the account. All my posts are now gone and my address has been changed to pitchfork1.tumblr.com. Where my blog once stood now stands the official Tumblr for Pitchfork Media Inc. Watch out, Soup
Teehan+Lax have released an iPad GUI PSD with tons of the new UI components (like “popovers”, wide keyboard, and split views) available in the iPad. Another excellent resource from the awesome duo.
