iPhone Used to Browse MacRumors.com?

Interesting.

I dig the newly styled digg button on the homepage!

(Pun intended. Now I feel like IJ Reilly. Haha.
 
Why this has to be exciting

With less Mac news now than when the slow to change PPC upgrades were called too slow to be useful, those that are Apple people & not just Mac people will take anything from Apple & call it news.

Maybe we can start a rumor that a new Mac is in the beginning phase of putting together a new idea in computing. It will be out sometime before the end of the year, decade, century or what have we. If some people would do that then those that are just Mac people & not Apple trinket people would have something to read & look at. Until that time we have to take what little or nothing that we can get from Apple.

Oh I forgot to bow down & face Cupertino when I made this post.

It's news for me and it fascinates me, doll.

Why? Because MR has been used several times as a testing ground for fake Mac viruses, for newstories, etc., so quit spewing trolltalk.

And if Steve is cruising MR for info -- Steve -- we love you. Just keep up the separation of Mac and State -- no presidential plugs anymore -- AAPL tanked the day you plugged Gore.

Macellence does not extend to politicking.

Leave that political geekiness to Gates as he kisses the EU/Mexico/China's b*tts to keep his vast empire of IT people in their jobs servicing Windoze viruses.
 
Looks like they visited Virginia.edu

Employees have probably been given them for pretty solid testing now.
 
My first thought was actually that someone was bored enough to read MacRumors' Apache logs, before seeing that it was an eBay auction and that Arn was just verifying. Then realizing the logs are blocked, of course.

Off to go check my own logs, not that anything good ever shows up in them.
 
uhh .. or somebody at apple playing with rumor sites?

The only problem I see with that browser ID string is the "Safari/419.3". Safari build 419.3 is the Safari build that comes with OSX 10.4.9. I highly doubt the OSX running on iPhone runs the same build of safari build as the OSX 10.4.9 does. And webkit 420 is the webkit that ships with OSX 10.4 .. again, I doubt the iPhone will have the same build of WebKit as the full blown OS.

I'd say somebody at apple is playing practical joke on people. Who could it be, Steve himself?

update: ok, so i'm a bit wrong. WebKit build with 10.4 is 419, OmniWeb currently supplies with 420. Still, I'd expect the iPhone (as well as Leopard) WebKit build number to be higher.
 
Guess someone involved with testing the iPhone is a bicycle racing fan. I help run a bicycle racing related web site and I see an entry for some iPhone hits in the logs.
 
Yeah, and I guarantee you that this mysterious person using the iPhone is laughing their arse off at all of the incorrect projections and rumors he's reading, haha...

Only he knows what is really up....hopefully we will too on June 11th:) :apple: :)

It might not be blocked as such, just not aloud to be used. Plus I bet this visit was just to test how the iPhone can deal with forums and the layout of Macrumors (a lot of people who are going to buy the iPhone are most likely going to visit MR).

They need it to work well: especially as some of the first customers (those who camp out to get it) will visit MR straight away...
