Read him every day. He is now my role model.

Congrats, Arn.

Peace.

He should open a practice at home. It would be a waste to have someone so bright and intelligent not taking care of people' health.

Or maybe he should do whatever he wants. This is the United States afterall, and not a socialist state (yet).

Making money off of Apple gossip. Beautiful! Congrats Arn and may you and the rest of the Mac web continue to grow.

L.A. Punk gets his new Mac tomorrow. After a year and a half of trying to live in a Wintel world...I'm back baby!

MDN Word 'Order' As in 'I placed my order on Sat night and it will get here tomorrow'

congratulations Arn, on the job change, and on Penelope (she will be from this day forth known as Pen)

Did he rely on AppleInsider to diagnose his patients like he does for news on Mac Rumors?

Wow, we've made MacRumors and MDN, rich! Filthy rich!

I prefer Tuaw actually. Way more content and articulate comments. On Macrumours, posters like to post great comments such as, "Can't wait for iPhone 3G!" and "Oooh this looks exciting". While that drives up the comment count it makes for very boring reading.

Yeah, there are an awful lot of clueless morons on their message boards these days. When they're not posting "my iPhone 3G Sux because I don't get 3G service in the middle of nowhere" they're getting into petty arguments with each other over politics or something else totally off topic. Their boards have gone way downhill in the past couple of years.

@Olmecmystic,
I sometimes wonder what makes these certain Apple users to gush something as strange as: "He is now my role model."
I mean, if you ever get a chance to read some of the accolades posted in the Ziphone famed Zibri's blog, you'll see people are gushing in droves about how great he is, and how they love him, and consider him a great role model. Not a single post that I've come across that stated, thank you Apple iPhone team for being creative and helpful in the first place, before we may thank the great Zibri for helping us unlock so we too can bask in the possibilities in a land where ATT is not an option etc.

Talk about a way to set your sights short.

One guy writes/tracks rumours about a great company (and he's a pretty good blogger actually; nothing against him just the strange fans), another uses other people's work and spins a nice gui and calls himself a hack - leeching off the same said great company.
And these are your role models?
You don't want to be a visionary or a leader, or ever dream of coming up with an original idea for yourself and dare make your own dents in the universe? You'd rather just feed off someone else's work instead, that's your dream?
Wow, really.

@adashofflair,

At the risk of sounding like Bugs Bunny, "He don't know me vewwy well, DO he?"

Lighten up; I was simply expressing my sincere admiration and congratulations to someone who left the medical profession behind to do what he loves and follow his bliss. I aspire to be an internet marketer myself someday and Arn is someone whose income has blossomed from doing the same thing.

That's what I meant by "role model".

Comprende', compadre?

Peace.

@Olmecmystic.
I would like to offer you my sincere apologies. I came off harsh and overtly critical and I recognise that was unnecessary and misguided. I do appreciate and accept your peace offering. I wish you all the best with your internet marketing endeavours.

@adashofflair,

Apology accepted, my man. That's what these forums are about: to further understanding.

Thanks for the well wishes.

Peace.
