A few kind words:

Do you know someone who just won’t be quiet when you want them to? Do they just talk and talk and make you want to put a gun to your head? Well, here are possible steps to shut them up.

1. If they start talking to you, look away.
2. Pretend that they aren’t there and walk away
3. If they ask why you’re ignoring them, don’t answer their question.
4. Keep avoiding them for as long as possible until they get the message and stop talking to you.
5. Don’t ever smile
6. Make up medical excuse, escape the situation
7. Just tell them to shut up. Be serious about this and don’t show them you’re joking.
8. If in doubt, just ask the person to be quiet.
9. Tell them that you don’t care about what they’re saying. And to shut up
10. Walk away, walk it off
11. Find a way to keep their mouth closed, possibly with force.

Even being Apple Insiders here at PAO, this Apple Event kinda snuck up on us. Not extensively, but usually the fart winds of this bullshit storm start getting loud many moons before the actual explosion of marketing garbage. We have gotten many complaints today, in fact, about folks only tuning in to see the live blog, but no “foreplay” rumor posts. Well.. we apologize. Maybe you missed some of the other big stories we’ve had lately – those take up time, so STFU and SMD.

Anyway, here’s a little helper, to help you help yourself. How to spread a rumor:

Take down your annoying co-workers in silence: The blow gun. The choice stealth weapon for taking down everyday opponents.

A blowgun (also called a blowpipe or blow tube) is a deadly weapon consisting of a small tube for firing deadly projectiles such as darts. The wielder blows into one end, forcing the dart out the other as high velocity.

** Also worth mentioning, Scissors can do the job – Slightly less silent but are easily accessible in an office environment, or when your blow gun is just out of reach.

jerbear and alycia tied the knot yesterday in a quiet ceremony in Lynn, MA, that promptly erupted into a teenage dance party. Many people ended up being arrested for MDMA posession, prompting Cambridge police to leave their own jurisdiction to make additional false arrests. Arrest records have yet to be expunged from LDAP. The happy couple will be honeymooning at an undisclosed location under heavily armed guard, due to recent threats from a disgruntled construction worker known on the Internet only as “John”. John did not respond to requests to be interviewed, and may have already escaped to join the Foreign Legion.

President Obama today spoke out against the Cambridge Police.

BREAKING NEWS:
We have recieved exclusive footage of the wedding ceremony!

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) – President Barack Obama promised Pope Benedict on Friday that he would do everything possible to reduce the number of abortions in the United States, the Vatican said.

Oddly, its the same site saying both things.

iPhone is crap.

Blackberry is ass.

This game sucks.

Yup, PAO was there, watching someone else liveblog, so that we can unblog this event for you. WWDC is the Why Would Devices Crap event – a very exciting thing for the past several years Apple announces amazing things like Iphone Nanos and Ipods and Macbooks oh my.

News is crushing the wire right now about how much it SUCKED this year. The “new” Iphone, aka, 3Gs – not to be confused with multiple “old” iphones 3G’s, is a whole big pile of baloney. Its faster and it has a compass. Otherwise, its no nano, it has no new buttons, no front-facing camera, is not a tablet, cannot dispense pez, or do anything else cool.

Hell, Steve Jobs never even appeared. He was there and just never decided to get on stage – rumor has it, he had a Palm Pre and was playing some wicked apps on it. Why read the interwebs when its all a big pile of donkey crap? Here at PAO, we are going to have say BOO and wait for the actual Iphone Nano to come out. We thought they’d slip it in there today but not yet, I guess its still a bit shakey.

And there’s one more thing. AT&T – unable to provide MMS support for the phone. Still. Hey ATT, you had MMS for POS phones like 9 years ago – how is it possible you cannot do it today? So lame.

To summarize this event – PAO says – don’t be a sucker.

PAO is a realist kind of place. That’s why we support dogs. Dogs don’t pretend to be on Twitter – dogs eat,play, sleep. Stupid cats, you never know what they are doing besides plotting to jump up out of nowhere and scratch the shit out of your eyeballs. Some crazy ass cat named sockington is out there suckington all the Twitter users. Check out some of the shenanigans:

Twitter just went through an awful 24-hour stretch. It included taking away a feature some people loved, probably being misleading about it, getting a huge amount of backlash, halfway bringing the feature back, and getting railed by the press for it all — with bouts of downtime mixed in for good measure.

This is hardly the first time Twitter has had everyone up in arms, and it won’t be the last, but it’s pretty astonishing how the company seemed to solve one problem by creating two more. Sure, it’s easy to play desk-chair quarterback, and probably a bit unfair — but it’s also fun, and a good cautionary tale, so let’s do that.

Here’s how the past 24 hours at Twitter went down:

From Reuters:

BOSTON (Reuters) – Online classified site Craigslist will replace its “erotic services” ads with a new adult category following pressure by state authorities after the murder of a masseuse who advertised on the site.

The “erotic services” section will end within seven days and be replaced by an “adult services” category where advertisements will be individually screened by Craigslist staff, Craigslist said in a statement on Wednesday.

The measures could set a precedent for similar sites, said Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, who led a 40-state task-force on Craigslist and campaigned publicly for tighter controls on the San Francisco-based service.

“Closing the erotic services section, a blatant Internet brothel, should lead to other blocking and screening measures, and set a model for other sites, if Craigslist keeps its word,” he said.

Craigslist’s sex-service listings have faced intense scrutiny since the April 14 murder of 25-year-old masseuse Julissa Brisman, who advertised on Craigslist in Boston.

While the yanks are sniveling about Swine Flu, across the pond an even more serious public health concern is ravaging the United Kingdom. A virulent strain of Writer’s Block has infected vast swaths of the population. The UK Department of Health has issued a warning that Writer’s Block may infect more than half of all writers, but that cyber bloggers are at over 90% infection rate due to their frequent and often unprotected contact with the blogosphere.
