It's a paradigm shifting, earth-shattering, revolutionary lawnmower, complete with 6 retractable microphones so you can record the sound of a lawnmower while cutting the grass. Cutting edge stuff, literally. *Boom tssch*

Some People on this forum seem to have issues with marketing....you must all be screaming at your TVs when the adverts come on!

Why scream at useless commercials when you can just switch the TV off. I haven't watched regular TV in 15 years and on-line I use adblock. I've probably sat through less than 10 full commericials in all that time. *BLISS*

I think there's probably a zero percent chance that they looked up the definition of "incredible". what I think IS credible is that they used a common throwaway word with a completely subjective meaning like they do every day in real life.

If you only knew the dictionary definitions of words, you would go through life very, very confused.

Language is always evolving, and people can use their own interpretations of words as they wish. However, those words do, until such a time as they don't, have real meanings.

What they announce might be really interesting; exciting, even. It might even be Great. I doubt it'll be incredible.

Yep, the anti - marketing defamation league are an odd bunch.

Hmmm! Being bullshitted to by people who are trying to separate me from my money. Guess I'm sensitive like that

Anyway, I initially just wanted to make an observation. It really wasn't my intention to derail the thread. I hope you all get what you want

Agree. Especially in this day and age where everything has a demo and if you buy something without knowing or fully understanding exactly what you purchased the only person to blame is the person looking back at you in the mirror.

We're all marketeers in some regard. I mean, when you meet that sexy new lady you actually don't tell her all the subjectively bad stuff about you do you? Of course not. That would be rather dumb.

For me, a teaser would be much more efficient, if they teased the name of the product, (parts of) the GUI, and a couple of the new features. I don't need this "Look kids, we haz something for christmaz" style. Not since I'm 10 years old.

Yeah. On the other side of that coin - if previous history is any indication - it all comes out at once and there is no wait to get it. IIRC, when they did this before the thing was up for download that same day as soon as the event ended.

If that's what it is. We'll see I suppose.

Don't get me wrong, kudos to them for keeping it secret in these times. Typically, one of their employees, who suffers from profiling neurosis, would have leaked what it is already, making the whole thing, and the company a laugh.

Language IS always evolving, and it has already evolved past the point where incredible had its original meaning. Along with awesome, fantastic, terrible, horrible, hilarious etc... Those words don't mean what they originally did any more, and it is commonly accepted that is the case. You trying to police word usage in an ad, when that word is a common throwaway adjective in real usage is anachronistic. Particulary if you aren't also correcting anybody who used the word atrocious, horrible, or terrible to describe companies, products, or services. I mean, it might be bad, but its not an atrocity, or worthy or horror, or terror. Just words that have had their meanings blunted by over use.

Marketing people - do - tend to hype stuff as part of their job. We all (over the age of 12) know that. Not sure why it's still an issue for repeated discussion for any reasonable adult.

Sure... a 12-year old with more than money than sense may indeed fall prey to marketing and end up buying something he or she didn't bother to test drive or demo and later regret that. Most intelligent adults know better.

Of course G.A.S. is a known logic inhibitor.

Those words absolutely mean what they used to. You can of course make the case that the definitions have been stretched to describe a much wider set of circumstances, such as appear in common parlance. However, when you are looking for a word to describe something that is truly awesome, then that's right there as the primary definition in all but the 'Urban Dictionary'.

Personally, I doubt they'll even reach the height of a ghetto-definition of 'incredible'. But if they announce they are leaving the music-tech world to start a chain of patisseries selling cakes - the like of which "You have never tasted" - then I'm down with 'Incredible'
