It never occurs to people like you that some *might* just like Apple products? No, in your mind the only reason someone likes something that Apple produces is because they are a fanboy. “XY product has *these* features though”. *That is what a fanboy actually sounds like. It’s puerile. You know what? I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU THINK. Why am it telling you this? Because you have made it your business to tell *EVERYONE*, hence the twitter jibes, perhaps…

Ssshhhh now. You and frankly everyone else that is talking about the device is getting boring. You’ll do well to remeber that. The one’s “hyping” this are you and bloggers like you. You did it before *and* after the fact.

I think what you did is awesome! I like my Macs too but
people need to have a sense of humor about these things. Keep
Tweeting.

Jeez. Calacanis wasn’t even trying to get people, and he still got them. If people don’t know how to do a simple background check on new media, they shouldn’t be using it at all.

Best of all was Loren Feldman’s screaming over how you’re ruining tech journalism. I hope he just loses his voice one day.

And they wonder why old media is dying? Seriously,
I don’t need help to read twitter. But I hear flipping burgers
is an honorable profession, once this lame excuse for journalism
is done with.

Jason has done more for the tech and start-up community than anybody else out there. But he is suitable for an intelligent audience only.

To anybody who took offense here, GET a sense of humour or go and play somewhere else.

And as for pseudo pundits like Mike Industries trying to take the moral high ground and give social media advice such as “Never Dupe Your Readers” I would suggest that you instead contribute something genuine to the community rather than tout for traffic by backstabbing.

If you want a starting point for where to contribute, follow Jason’s lead.

Good stuff Jason, you’re a legend!

Folks who believed in his joke probably also wired money to bogus requests asking for administrative fee in “transferring millions dollars of inheritance locked up in some offshore island bank account”.

Even the title of this post shows how big of a douche you are. “epic comment” seriously? No one should ever refer to themselves as epic. If it is truly “epic” then let others make that claim for you: don’t make it yourself. I see why bullies picked on you as a child. I’d write a post about why people should boycott you, but you aren’t worth the time.
