Web Analytics RiceHigh's Pentax Blog: What Internet Contents that Could be Trusted BTW?

What Internet Contents that Could be Trusted BTW?

A Chinese idiom states that sometimes one cannot really distinguish between the truth and the fake..

An alleged boy named himself as Mike (Milan) Svitek as the poster appeared in YouTube yesterday and stated that all the recent Pentax new body and lens rumours "created" by him were all fake!

But then here comes the questions! IF *everything* read from/on the Internet could be fake and one should be susceptible, for instance:-

1. How come one can know if this little boy is the original poster of that recent Pentax rumour?

2. How to verify this boy's identity and if he is that Mike/Milan Svitek before?

3. Even it is really that person, how do you know if what are being told in the video is true or not. Or if someone forced him to do so, if not he would bear some serious consequences? Btw, I have a feeling that he was being pointed by a gun to force him to say something to correct his serious mistake done! ;-p

4. Will you shoot yourself like that if you really have told a big lie to the world but then you still opted to show your face to the world and then yet laughed at all those stupid guys of being fooled??! :-o

Oh, my bad again for reporting the "fake rumour" anyway! >:-|

Agree with the first commenter. Don't worry about it, you're merely collecting information around the net. Your reader is smart enough to judge for themselves if it's true or not. It's not your fault if they turn out to be fake.

Thanks for your understanding this time.
This kid made you look really, really stupid. But most of it was you, as usual.

You know the word "Gullible" has become so commonplace they are removing it from the Oxford English Dictionary?

LMAO!
Did you know if you say "Oranges" very slowly, it sound like "gullible"?
I never bought this kid Mike ever had a prototype Pentax camera, and I don't think anyone else did either. What person, regardless of age, is going to jeopardize his/her standing with a major company that gave them a next-gen camera by outright saying "hey, look at me, I got this awesome camera."

No, what you would do is take some photos of the camera, and leak them so it could not be tied back to you.

This does not mean the idea of a FF Pentax is not real. I still think Pentax will release info on the camera sometime this year, and I do not see a reason it could not happen in April. I think the only thing holding them back is they need to update/create 3-4 lenses to give a sufficient number of choices for users (16-50 replacement, 80-200 update, 85 1.4 update, wide angle lens).

Then again, maybe they will just release a 645 update, an entry model, and maybe a 24mp APSc camera this spring, then FF in the fall.

Lesson learned, or lesson that you should learn from, never post any rumors that cannot be verified. On the long run, it makes your readers stop trusting you. If you do post rumors, stipulate that's all it is and make it humorous or something.

Yvon, as an insider yourself who signs NDAs with Pentax, I think you just can't understand how eager and frustrated we average Pentaxians are! :-(
I understand just fine. I too want full frame and for Pentax to keep up with the Canon and Nikon brands. I have an NDA with them because I promised in writing that I would never divulge any information that they would entrust me with. Other than that, I have absolutely no affiliation with Pentax other that being a fan.
If it smells fishy, it nearly always "is" fishy. This one could be smelt a mile away.
Ricehigh, i miss your old way of posting stuff...it used to be interesting, now you're just boring. Don't you take any pictures? Can't you post your impressions on your lenses, after all those years?
Maybe you could post good things about the world, without making everything seem bad and hopeless.
I hope you won't delete my comment, but i'm being completely honest : now you're just a boring pain in the ass, and you keep trying to get views with your stupid rumours...i don't remember the last time you got anything right that wasn't obvious or that had already been spread about the internet.
Please, stop posting those rumors...most people DON'T WANNA KNOW, just talk about real photography!
PLEASE, RICEHIGH...IT'S BEEN TOUGH TO STAND YOUR BLOG LATELY, AND I'M SURE MOST PEOPLE IN HERE FEEL THE SAME WAY.

Man, I don't have any pain in my ass and I am sitting well. Btw, every Pentax internet place is declining these days with not much useful content, altogether with the decline of Pentax sales and gear popularity. Nonetheless, when some real things from Pentax do really come some days later, I am sure I shall re-measurbate again and post my test reports here!
A hoax? A boax? Nope, but maybe a Pentoax.
