What is this news about?
It's about some cult leader arriving for a ritual involving some sort of fruit and possibly zombies.

Oh i'm a mac user btw.
I wish there was a way to filter all this Apple "news". I'm not Apple hater or lover but this is just too much.
Is that Steve Jobs or Phil Collins?
Javi0084, there is a way to filter it out using tags, i'm just not familiar with how it's done because I never wanted to do it!
@Javi0084
Uhm... well there is, actually... http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/20/tired-of-iphone-and-or-apple-news-on-engadget/
what toilet did he take a dump in?
WHO CARES
A gold one, with gold leaf toilet paper, and when he flushes his little apples are washed away in a river kitten tears.
"what toilet did he take a dump in?
WHO CARES"
Then why did you ask?
I think that he's not only presented iphone in Europe - he's officially and at last announce that Beatles is in iTunes Store!
"Then why did you ask?"
what does sarcasm mean? i forget...
n3rdk1d: You need to look up the definition of sarcasm because your earlier comment... that just wasn't it. There was no irony or wit at play there.
Just saw that it is available on a shopping site in india :

No iPhone for the UK ;)
Just kidding.
That's a photoshopped picture, right?
Yes...in the original picture, Jobs was giving the finger.
lol @ Jobbers.
jobber is a robber...gotta love iProducts
Job's announcement: "You are on the eve of destruction, make your time"
Aarun: the monotonous brightness and strong edges around the flag, and artifacts around the hand didn't make it obvious? :)
I say, old chaps, I believe there's one more thing...
Haha I know it's Photoshop. I use the CS3 version of the software frequently. I was just in a stupid mood and felt like making a REALLY dumb comment. And now I feel particularly silly for it...Thanks for your understanding..LOL!
So...you're saying he arrived in London, nude? There's an announcement we didn't expect.
No, Josh Topolsky, we had no slight bit of concern. You already posted that there would be an announcement tomorrow. Thanks for a meaningless blog post.
Can we have a Bill Gates tracker-blogger post where he is each day too? Good God.
A Bill Gates tracker would be boring. We all know he sits in his evil mastermind cave on a volcanic island somewhere in the Pacific. He runs the world from there. Duh.
Guess this is the closest I've ever been to my god then. Odd sensation, really.
Fantastic!
I do hope you're going to treat us to minute-by-minute reports of His *every* move around London-land and start new articles to tell us about His clothing choices for the day!
What kind of shirt will He have? Will it be tight fitting? And don't forget the trousers - they're definitely worthy of an Engadget news report all on their own!
Oh, and what about his footware?! What will Stevie be wearing? Oooh! The excitement! The anticipation!
It's great to know that Engadget are here to break out fresh stories on every single aspect of His iHighness gracing the shores of Blightly-land. A bitlike a tech version of Heat Magazine, if you will.
'Doffs iCap and waits for the next *vital* update.
Good, I hope someone in the crowd asks him when they are going to fix the bad screens on the new iPod touch.
There really is no excuse for this. Engadget, you disappoint me so.
I'm an Apple fanboy and even I think you guys are going overboard with this posting.
ah...ah, they're called 'trousers'...
Boom, matey!
As long as he doesn't open with "It's Stevey B****" I think we'll be ok.
Come on Engadget, this is just getting ridiculous.
Right now Bill Gates is takiing whatever steps are necessary to comply with the ruling.
Is that enough for you?
:)
I hear he was looking for Eight ball squash and muttering to himself. Still shell shocked from Noah Wyl... I mean Steve Jobs yelling "YOU STOLE FROM US"
Please give us hourly Steve updates...come on engadget--this isn't gizmodo is it?
Work will be interesting tomorrow - I'm an o2 salesperson in Birmingham, and we've been told to expect a large delivery tomorrow afternoon, and most of us have been rota'd in an hour extra after closing time. I'm pretty certain it's what everyone else is thinking, as are a few of my colleagues.
Stay tuned I guess!
He's going to introduce the new Apple (Endgadet) "News" Generator!
Please mention "Q" from the bond movies, Steve.....
Pants = underwear, so i should hope he does!
So this is "BREAKING NEWS" eh?
What was the point of TUAW once again?
Is this really news!!!
Man I think this is just funny! it's only a news entry... why is everyone getting all upset? Just enjoy his Steveness and prepare to bask in the glory of the live event tomorrow.
I think a reason for people to get upset would be the constant downward spiral this site is taking from its original premise.
There are many Apple "gadgets" being released at the moment, but I'm sure SOMEWHERE, there is another large or new company releasing OTHER gadgets that deserve equal attention.
I really hope this post was a big of a joke to get back at everyone ranting about the frequency of Apple posts. If not, god helps us all.
i've always felt the deluge of apple-related news on engadget was justified considering you'll find news about new apple products on non-tech news sites or your local tv news station... but this is ridiculous, especially considering that the announcement for the event was already posted today
More great ***News*** err I mean commentary from engadget....Wow Jobs landed in London...Wonder where bill gates landed...oh yeah, engadget is just APPLE fanboys
* UPDATE TO THIS STORY *
Steve Jobbs just took a dump!
a sloppy apple core shaped dump, as he sits playing Doom on his Archos PMP
Who ever said anything about this being 'breaking' news? :S
It's news about an Apple event, tomorrow, if any of you morons read the article.
On France or England? That's important late-breaking news. Somebody should retrieve those turds. They might be worth a $100 credit.
as an apple-fan: cut the crap!
Gosh... let engadget post what they want!
Who cares!
I'm not a full on Apple fanboy, but I am actually quite excited he's here in the UK for once ;-]
Does it really offend some of you that they have posted one article that isnt relevant to *you* :P
Question will his keynote...be on the apple website..later on..???
they usually are... or live info not so cool like the engadget one :P
http://live.appleweblog.com/
Question? Do you think they will reveal...apple laptops....OMGOMGOmg..lol k im done..
I don't see the problem. If you remove the Apple postings, there are less postings. This was to confirm that Steve will be presenting the presentation. We weren't sure, now we are. This has become a slightly more major apple conference. Take an iChill iPill.
All of this would have nicely fitted as an update on the presentation post - not a new post...
True..but did it need another half a webpage as a separate entry or could it have been a footnote on the original blog entry? That said it's your blog guys so run with it!
Well, it's their blog after all so those of us who are getting jaded with apple non-news should move elsewhere then. Most of the posts on this item agree that it's getting out of hand.
IT'S THE BEATLES ON ITUNES OMGWTFBBQ!!!
Hahaha, are you guys purposely trying to piss off your readership? I'm also an Apple-nut but this story is unnecessary.
Unless Steve fraks the Queen. Then I'd want to know. ASAP.
He is there just to announce the DRM free itunes service for European customers, avoiding the EU antitrust laws ;-)
*hugs tight* sexy emo boys :P
The story is about how it is going to be a large announcement because Steve Jobs is there. If it wasn't that big of announcement, he wouldn't be there. So they are reporting that it will be a big announcement, and building anticipation.
Come Jobbs - 3G and unlimited data!
In all fairness, I think this post was in response to some arguments made that there wasn't going to be a keynote address, hence no big announcement.
This seems to just be a follow up mentioning something that had actual relevance to the possible announcement of a new gadget (i.e. the whole point of this site). If Jobs arrived in the UK, it does give iPhone rumor more a little more substance. (Substance? That may not be the word I'm looking for... it's been a long day at work)... (Credibility maybe? eh whatever).
Anyways, I'm not an Apple fan, don't own an iphone or mac or anything, and I kindof agree with the whole 'too much apple all the time' thinking, maybe they should have just made this an update on one of the earlier posts, but still, this isn't as bad as people are making it out to be.....ok..... go ahead...... low rank away...... :D
Nice- but can you tell me where Dell's CEO is right now? How about Sony's? No, you say? Seriously Engadget - I can take all the iPhone stories, but a post announcing that some guy is now in some place?
Is Dell or Sony making an announcement tomorrow that people have been eagerly awaiting for months now? Seriously dude, get over it.
I refuse to buy one unless he gives the whole talk in a South London accent and is seen either eating a scone or enjoying a nice cup of tea afterwards. I'd also like to offer to take him out to a couple of nice pubs as long as he's buying.
If God appeared on your doorstep holding an iPhone, wouldn't you want to know? How about Satan? Inquiring people want to know these things.
So the REAL question is... where is Paul McCartney? Anyone know of a webcam in the vicinity of Abbey Road? ;)
Thath juth thou uptheting!!!!!
Thatth not a turtleneck!!!
How did steve jobs get hold of my dad's turtleneck?
There are other readers besides those in the U.S.! If there was an article saying that Steve Jobs was in your town doing a big announcement I don't think you'd be so upset. I live in London and think that it's really cool that Steve Jobs is here right now.
AKA The Smug Bastard From Cupertino....
nope, not a turtleneck...

What do you guys think the chances are of Apple upping the iPhone to 16GB tomorrow? Apple loves multiple SKUs, and they really only have the 8GB right now. I would say there's a very, very small chance of 3G, but I pretty good chance 16GB will make its debut.
All this iPhone nonsense is good news for the consumer in the UK. I've gone from wanting one to not wanting one if it does turn out to use EDGE and on o2 - their network sucks compared to Orange (and I use Orange for my personal phone and o2 for work so can make a fair comparison).
Anyway, I'm not going to switch my personal contract to o2 but will expect Orange to give me a much much better deal to retain my custom - and the other networks will no doubt need to follow suit to avoid increasing their churn rates.
So even if you don't buy an iPhone, the chances are that those will do will help you get a better deal from the other networks.
You are still meh bandwidths with ur crappy iNews!
I love to read this love/hate +200 comments apple news and how engadget is pay too much attention to this apple hype... when all the buzz all the hype are not because of engadget all this traffic and comments are from the people in this sick love/hate thing with an electronics maker... sorry but if don't want to be annoyed don't read it don't comment, ignore it!
engadget will not stop it apple reports (no matter how trivial they are) and the main reason is that they give them ton of traffic and hits ($$$)
I fail to see the 'news' or relevance of this footnote in the history of Engadget's love of Apple and I've given Jobs well over £3500 in the last 3 years.
Will he blend and does he play Doom?
REALITY CHECK!!!!!
No where on your computer or your mouse or your keyboard is there a "force-me-to-read-a-blog-about-Steve_jobs_or_Apple-or-anythign-other-than-what-I-click-on" button!
Quitcherbitchenyoumindlessphuques!
If you don;t want to read it - don't click it. Unless you don't know how ot scroll past an article.And if that is the case, your Mum should take away the keys to the computer until you learn to wipe yourself!
What a bunch of whiners!
As for me I have dropped about 18,800 £ in the last year with Apple and I am ready, willing and able to share more of my hard earned resources with Mr. Jobs and Co. If you can't put money where your mouth is, STFU!
The thang is tha me keeps refreshing this page for new news bout what eva gadget is coming out, true me gots no life, true me is a nerd, true there is some otha bloggers round the nets, but me wants this one and me was a loyal reader, till all this fanboyism, I'm not an Fanboy-heita, but it sems to me that this is just to cheao a way to get hits.
me thinks. and yes I've tried the hole pipes thang but it sucks much too much.
Let's see if this happens: As an incentive for GSM carriers Apple has been in negotiations with GSM carriers around the world to design such a global calling plan reversed enginered in sorts. Instead of a global calling plan based around a company, this will be based around a phone the iPhone. As Europeon countries get signed up, watch the global network form. Now this will be another incentive not to hack the iPhone and use it on a different network. Now with a hack out, do you think that these companies would realy sign such an expensive deal with Apple without something huge to gain.. Watch
Why do you crop Steve-o's baldness? Ya got something against baldies? Huh, huh?
Obnoxiously yours, and seeking medical help for it ...
telly
These are the photo of the new iphone that apple will launch today in london:
http://blogdolci.com/2007/09/16/apple-iphone-very-sweet/
does he have any other clothes?
Wow - talk about getting flamed;
I live in London, so this was for me , informative & relevant :-) (I'm obviously in the minority)
One more thing.....
Beatles on iTunes, Beatles iPod
For the record, I think the multititude of Apple annoucements on Engadget is appropriate. The company is cutting the edge of the cutting edge. I think Apple's problem is that they make it look too easy, most of the time.
As for me? I'm waiting, with my PAC code and credit card ready to go to the Trafford Centre Apple shop today should the iPhone be announced. There's also a Carphone Warehouse on Trafford Rd, and an O2 shop in the Lowry Centre should I get desperate. (Manchester, UK, BTW..200 miles from his royal Jobsness)
W00t \o/ his stevenes is in the UK !
Finally I don't have to figure out timezones for an announcement. !
(this really should not make me as squee as it does :)
