Let's be realistic. New product announcements from Apple happen at planned press events. The 10th anniversary of their first store will probably just have fancy new store displays and a give-away.

Edit: Disagreement probably warrants a reply, not a down-vote.

Idiots are rampantly downvoting everything on the site lately. It's another sign that the quality of participants here has declines as the site's popularity has grown.

At this point I'd be happy to see the whole karma system canned.

if you're going to comment on the quality of participants, i would suggest you refrain from using words such as "idiots"

How else should I describe what is essentially vandalism?

I'm not sure that the surge in membership has anything to do with it. Even at my karma level I still can't down-vote, so new members certainly aren't bringing me down. Seems more religious to me.

I know of at least one change that isn't a new product for consumers but isn't a new change to the store displays either. Nor a giveaway. Might be what this is.

Care to share what you think it is?

Can't... ;)
