I love your boring blogs. Not that I find them boring. I was so happy to find someone who can properly explain apples logic. Finally someone has a blog that is intelligent. My personal opinion is keep it intelligent, simple. When you sex it up, although fun and informative, you start to lose credibility. Someone who "just tuned in" and hasn't experienced your wonderful insight in previous videos might feel you're more comic then tech guru. Of course popular demand always holds the trump card:)

To get around the reporting ban have a friend buy a share of Apple stock and go with you to the meeting. Have your friend do a guest report on your blog. Your friend can report exclusively on the questions you asked. To make it all legitimate just make your friend do the report on his own. Be sure to get a friend who can take good notes or have his iPhone record your questions with the answers. ///// Dude you really need to do better video editing and at least review your videos before posting.

I laughed a lot at this vid (Apple can be daft sometimes!) and I also loved your previous one!

I liked it. Good fun! If your standard reporting method is cake, and the sexy/funny spoof is icing, consider the proportion of cake to icing and stick to that. Certainly 1 out of 10 isn't too much to have some fun, maybe even more often. View numbers might compel you to do it even more often. The only risk is I see is losing message along the way. Also, next year, get a partner with stock to go in an ask your questions. You could even text that person the questions. Then you can report them.

I loved the video and I thought it was a funny and interesting way to push your message across.

Of course I never thought that your monologues were boring, because I do have a crash on you and I can sit there watching you forever.

That aside I think I've learned a lot from your videos about the ipad. Please keep educating us.

Thanks.

sorry about your injuries. I think its great to post the comedic content no matter the analogy, tech with a hint of porn. ha can't beat it. moreover, you are not as boring as myself on tech, try explaining bit architecture and buffered ram and keep it interesting, ha, i may have to go with adding a hint of porn, oooh but that could get scary ;)

It sounds like Apple watching you was a little political. Keep Cnet happy perhaps? Either way, seems a bit daft.

I like the idea of a bit of humour in your videos but don't go too far cause you have your videos embedded in sites like Apple Insider which raises your profile. Might want to keep a good thing there.

Don't know if you are involved in AI or not? Maybe I missed something lol

Good videos, informative and logical. Quite refreshing among the insipid press today.

In this video, are you referring to the same KharaCara from your thehighconcept trailer? Can't wait to see this Myths video! If she's your main squeeze, you're doing alright for yourself. But from the same video, what about Mimi? She is so hot and curvy in all the right places! Seriously. Let's see her "sex up" some of your future videos, pal. Please? Oh gosh, these things could be inappropriate for a "tech journalist" but do you really want to be lumped in with those sheep? You only live once.

Apple Insider is the best source of Apple news, but they've been better in the past. There are some important stories they do not cover, and they have too many typos to seem infallible. Their archives could be much easier to navigate, though their forums are great. They're so worried about reporting stuff that they've forgotten the details which can make a web site stand out. They're a source, but not a destination. They seem ready to jump the shark, and if they ever fire you, they will have.
