Influential Apple board member and former Vice President of the United States Al Gore may not have created the internet, but he is creating a lot of buzz today with a simple slip of the tongue.
Speaking at a conference in South Africa, Gore lit up the rumor mills when he said, "Not to mention the new iPhones coming out next month. That was a plug."
Two key parts there, folks: "next month" and "iPhones". Although board members do not make official announcements regarding product launches, this is the first mention by anyone on the board at Cupertino that not only would we be getting a new iPhone next month, but that we would be getting more than one.
Thanks for the tip, Al! We hope you weren't just teasing us...

As we all know computers use electricity and electricity in most cases, according to Mr. Gore is part of the problem with "man made" Global Warming. Why would he want to be on the board of a company that develops electronic devices such as iPhones, iPads, iMacs, mac pro's, macbook pros, etc which all need to use electricity at some point.
If I were Mr. Gore, I would want to be on the board of a company that works to fight the apparent problem (according to Mr. Gore) of "man made" global warming, a good Green company like Solyndra! At the very least he would've been able to use our tax dollars from Solyndra to make another 100% scientifically proven movie with more pics of coca cola bears floating on ice bergs!

He made that movie so he could make huge financial gains. He has a lot invested in 'green' technologies and he is doing very well by pimping it out. That's his agenda. Plus he wants a legacy other than moron.
