But who you gonna blame? The marketers who try the "I have a secret and I'm not telling you" line in an attempt to build viral buzz, or the people who fall for it and start creating that buzz? ("OOoooooh, a secret, how exciting! I wonder what it could possibly be!")
At the time of writing at least 14 people have decided that this information-free teaser is worth upvoting. Why did you do it, folks?
The older I get, the more careful I get about guarding my brain cells from pointless speculation about information that will seem incredibly prosaic once I've actually heard it.
Seems like Tinker.it are just trying to drum up interest in the Arduino and to get more people talking about it.
I can't really fault them as some people may be exposed to the open source electronics prototyping platform from the chatter, that may have not otherwise noticed.

I'm not impressed by posts that say "I've got a secret and I'm not telling you."
If you don't have any thing to say, don't.
I tend to agree. It's one of the more frustrating marketing tactics.

It was on good faith; upvote ('yay!') open a tab. But, frustrating as it is it's not quite info. free, we do now know /that/ it's getting an upgrade.

I got a feel that the next iteration of arduino is coming. Frankly, I am excited.
