Happy Birthday! I heard about Steve's birthday on the radio this morning. Was the 'birth' date of the site intentional or just a wonderful coincidence?

Seeing how this is a pg2 rumor, I'm calling BS on both creation date of MR and SJ's B-day :D...I don't think either is true, better than 50/50 chance...being a pg 2 rumor, lol

[thenetstud]

I had no idea my kids (twins) share the same birthday as Steve Jobs and MacRumors! Awesome!

[samh004]

My mum was born the same year and day as Steve, but I always forget it's his birthday too.

[costabunny]

Happy Birthday to both :)

[SwiftLives]

[broncopde]

This site with its forums has become quite the excellent hub of conversation concerning all things Apple.

[Yvan256]

So... Happy Birthday Steve!

Here's my gift to you: I'm buying the new Mac mini as soon as it's available if it's still a Core 2 Duo or better, with a SuperDrive on the low-end model, still has FireWire (400 or 800), can take up to 4GB DDR3 RAM and has that nVidia 9400M GPU and the price is still around the same. :D

[voicegy]

Happy Birthday, MacRumors - I've haunted you from the beginning and officially joined 7 years ago, and like fine wine, you've gotten better with age.

(Writing this while drinking coffee from my MacRumors mug!) ;)

[happydude]

dear SJ,

my bday present to you will be approx $700 whenever you come out with the new mini. please include blue-ray (even as just a build to order option). adding apple TV capabilities would be fantastic as well. basically, for your bday, please create an apple TV/mac mini hybrid, the likes of which the world has never known. you'll guarantee yourself at least $700. not a bad present.

[megfilmworks]

Happy Birthday to Macrumors, good job Arn. I've only been here for 2 but I'm looking forward to many more years.

Now I have to ask, can you fit 10 candles in an apple? :)

[Peace]

Happy birthday MR and SJ. This happens to be the day my subscription renewal is also. So I gave a present to MR.:p

Cake, what cake...did you eat it all...?

[GonMacNvrGoBack]

Being like a radio long-time-listener, first-time-caller type (I've checked this site every day for the last two years - more than that recently now I have an iPhone!), there could be no finer opportunity to make my first post...

Happy Birthday MacRumors - Great site, keep it up!

Also, Happy Birthday to Mr Jobs too (and get well soon).

Congratulations Arn on having the best Apple site on the internet.

Somehow I doubt that.
And almost certainly not this year.

[Apple Ink]

Happy 9th B'Day MR... Thanks to all the admins and Mods and each member for making this a brilliant.... no the most brilliant Mac forum.
And thanks arn for continuing on his vision rather than dropping it midway as 99.9999% people do... that .0001% marked you arn.. :)

As for ol' Steve... I doubt that he's appreciating his B'Day..

[Darkroom]

happy belated anniversary

[maconspace]

This is the only Mac News website I check daily...hourly...often. Keep up the great work.

Happy Birthday, MacRumors - I've haunted you from the beginning and officially joined 7 years ago, and like fine wine, you've gotten better with age.
