All the world is abuzz with the news of Apple releasing the iPhone 3G on July 11th. (Which, I may note is inconveniently before my July 15th payday) and apparently the fervor over the product in Australia has reached such monumental levels that the folks over News.com.au forgot the number of months in a year. Check out their homepage news link:

Notice that Apple says "Hey, we are going to launch the next generation of awesomeness on July 11th." And apparently the editors across the sea heard "Sup Aussies, we are giving you a special release…prepare to get rocked tomorrow." (At first I thought that they even screwed that up since today is the 9th, but I think that across the international date line, it is either today, tonight, tomorrow or yesterday already. I choose not to understand time zones.)

So anyway, the news story was this:

The only explanation I can come up with is the hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica threw the entire Australian continent into a time shift placing it a month in the future. Or they are just wrong and forgot to actually read the press release. I wonder how many people will show up to apple stores tomorrow demanding the latest and greatest wonderment designed by the gods.
