Amd is not AMD
While many of you realize that this is simply referencing the automount daemon (amd), we are still getting submissions on this topic.
So, for the last time: Amd = Automount Daemon.

The RED PHONE? What is that? I've never seen it in my trips to the store. Is it to call the head office or super genius? Tech support for the tech support.....

If I read the article correctly, As the Apple Turns was mocking someone who submitted a story idea. And if they took that literallly, then they are, well, stupid.
Is AppleTurns stupid or are the people who interpret it this way stupid?
Regardless... I know AppleTurns doesn't fancy itself a rumor page, but it does occasionally post things like this... and people take it seriously. If enough people interpret it as such, whose fault is it?
I'm sure MacSlash's story was inspired by AppleTurns' post.

OMG, well geez, wow. I feel like saying "How can you NOT know about the red phone?" Well, the red phone is behind the island at the genius bar, on the counter where they set some computers.. The genius can use the red phone to call Apple to find an answer to question. This was the first time I've seen the genius use the phone. Usually they give me some b/s about going to a web site and finding the answer and of looking it up. If you looked at the movies of the originally Apple Stores, you would've heard Steve's remarks about the phone. But, yes it is tech support for the tech support.
This is at the end of the episode:
Do we really need to include a link to the definition of "irony" every time we do something like this?

He was probably talking about ATM (Adobe Type Manager).
