Mac, iPhone, and iPad user Rush Limbaugh today covered Apple’s impending “Let’s Talk iPhone” event on what, since its inception on August 1, 1988, is the highest-rated talk radio show in the United States. The 3-hour Rush Limbaugh Show airs daily on a network of approximately 590 AM and FM affiliate stations:
Limbaugh said, in part:
I’m excited. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. I hate to admit this. This is like Christmas Eve. I have been going nuts trying to figure out what Apple is gonna announce tomorrow. I do not know what they’re gonna do. This is the most amazing — (interruption) there is no inside stuff. Let me tell you this. Apple has got an announcement tomorrow, but nobody knows what. It just says, “Let’s talk iPhone,” ten o’clock tomorrow morning Pacific time, “Let’s talk iPhone.” Two weeks ago, folks, this is amazing, two weeks ago and three weeks ago and two months ago and six months Apple as of today has not said a word about a new iPhone. There has been no official nothing from Apple about a new iPhone. What there are are a bunch of blogs and rumors.
Gore is a member of the Apple board of directors and he did allude to the fact that a couple of iPhones are coming in October, but Gore is not Apple, he’s just on the board. Apple hasn’t said a word. Two weeks ago in a 30-minute stretch of time there were a couple of rumors about a new iPhone and what it was going to do. Apple stock went up, their total aggregate market cap went up $50 billion on rumors on Internet blogs. Apple had not said a word. Apple still hasn’t said a word. Now, the latest beta of iTunes is out, and some of the wizards of smart have gone through it and they have found references to an iPhone 4S. “Okay, well, what’s that?” Nobody knows. It’s been 16 months since they’ve had an iPhone, and tomorrow at ten o’clock Pacific they’re gonna announce it.
I’m like everybody else, I am caught up in this. I can’t wait. I myself have spent time trying to figure out what it is, but there’s no way of knowing. My gut is to tell me they’ve got problems and it’s not gonna be anything super-duper special but on the other side of that there is, not evidence, but there are some compelling indications that they’re going to revolutionize the whole smart phone industry tomorrow, basically with voice to text, artificial intelligence. But nobody knows. Supposedly they are manufacturing — Snerdley, look at me — supposedly they are manufacturing 150,000 iPhones a day, and nobody throughout the vendor supply chain will actually admit anything. I don’t know how they get everybody to clam up. The phone will talk back to you is what I mean by artificial intelligence.
Supposedly one of the things that it’s gonna have is voice to text dictation, you can say iPhone, send text to Snerdley “I’ll be a little late this morning,” and the phone just does it, just does it. And then talks back and tells you that it did it. As long as the name Snerdley’s in your address book, if you say text, it’ll fire up the SMS app and it will send a text. If you say iPhone, e-mail Snerdley whatever, it translates what you’re saying to text in an e-mail, you hit send and it sends it, you don’t ever have to type anything. You’re never gonna have to connect an iPhone or an iPad to your computer ever again for any reason. Everything’s gonna be wireless. Some of that’s been announced. The software stuff, that’s been announced. Not the voice stuff, the artificial intelligence, that’s coming someday but nobody knows if it’s tomorrow. But that’s where everybody’s on pins and needles.

That is like calling the kettle black with you. You are a vile security propagandist. What’s the difference. You give people the false sense of security that the Mac is safe from malware when time and time again the security crap you preach happens before our eyes.
You need to start listening to enterprise penetration testers that hack OS X and get elevated privileges and root on your “Invincible OS X”. They do it out of the lime light on a weekly basis. It is nothing but code and it can get hacked.
You are my Rush Limbaugh, except NOW I have to listen to YOUR “vile” liberal spewing hate mongering of Rush Limbaugh.
See how easy it is to call YOU a” vile spewing hate mongering security idiot” I feel I am right and you are wrong. There for my conservative views trump your radical liberal views in MDN and a conservative activist views on Apple.
Just like you feel people should not listen to Rush because his views and ideas are not mainstream to you and your far left liberal friends. I feel everyone needs to second guess your propagandist’s writings of the safety of OS X. Maybe if you get out of your radical left wing thinking you will see the light of true OS X security in the real world. All the pentesters I listen to feel OS X security has been security through obscurity. The direct opposite from your propagandists views. You are just like Rush Limbaugh, the man you despise.
Your consecutive troll Ted.

Thank you anonymous coward troll Ted. You lend support to the concept of ‘Tard Party’. But this isn’t about you. It’s about a country dying under a deluge of HATEFUL propaganda from a brain dead Corporate Oligarchy who enjoy playing with puppets. You clearly have caught the disease. Get well soon. 😯
So typical!! Someone’s shit don’t stink and I think his name is Derek!!!

Sorry Derek , You are one of those liberal spelling Nazis too, because you are a liberal elitist. I will correct my spelling for you.
Your conservative troll, Ted
Do you feel the strings pulling at your brain, directing to HATE? “Liberal Nazi”. Right. As I pointed out above: Tard Party.
