MacRumors Turns 10 Years Old Today

[MacRumors]

Today marks MacRumors.com's 10 year anniversary. It's a shocking realization that I've been doing this now for a decade. For those unfamiliar with the history of the site, I started it as a hobby back in early 2000 as a place to consolidate interesting news and rumors about Apple. I was finishing my 4th year of medical school at the time and kept the site running as I completed my medical training. But it wasn't until July 2008 that I finally gave up medicine to go full time.

With the growth of Apple, and success of their products, the interest in Apple rumors has grown substantially in the past few years, and MacRumors is stronger than ever. I feel the main strength behind MacRumors beyond tracking rumors has always been the community and discussion about the latest news and happenings. I hope to emphasize that more in the future and continue to build on our strengths.

So, thanks to our readers, staff and volunteers who have made 10 years possible.

Thanks for all your hard work, Arn. I don't often post, but I'm here every day. A decade of success at any endeavor is to be commended - here's to another ten years!

Thanks to you guys and especially your forums, my ass has been saved an untold number of times.

Best of luck to all.

P.S. Thanks for the troll management efforts--I know it's not fun!

Happy birthday Macrumors! Macrumors actually share the same birthday as Jobs? Cool, didn't noticed that.

 

[Digital Skunk]

Where's my Macbook Pro/Mac Pro rumor?

Just kidding.

Happy birthday.

Happy Birthday MacRumors! Let it be another 10 great years..

PS - I tried to find the biggest birthday cake for all of us, but I just can't seem to Google it right... anyone else wanna try?

I'm voting negative because this sort of thing should happen on a Friday or Saturday, not Wednesday!








(Ok, not really. I spent 10 minutes trying to think of where those votes came from and this was the best I could come up with.)

 

[Crath]

Same birthday as Steve Jobs, woah.

 

[Xfujinon]

I check this site every single day, along with Google News and the New England Journal of Medicine.

I am a medical doctor in training. For what it's worth, I hope your time in medicine wasn't too bad. I look forward to it, and hope to make a good career out of it, unless my new idea for a website TexasInstrumentsTi83Rumors.com takes off.

The world hungers for calculator news.

Thanks, arn, for giving me stuff to read every single day!

Definitely better times are ahead for Apple and hence for Macrumors..

Educational and entertaining and informative service provided by Macrumors. Visiting the site is part of my daily routine.

PS - I tried to find the biggest birthday cake for all of us, but I just can't seem to Google it right... anyone else wanna try?

Did you google "biggest birthday cake?" Because that turned up turned up this gem, which is ALMOST big enough for Macrumors.

Almost.
