iPocalypse

The destruction of the Earth by use of iTunes, as foreshadowed by the iTunes End User License Agreement.
Below are the words that have accurately predicted the morbid outcome of the near-future of computer software used for organizing digital music libraries.
"You also agree that you will not use these products for...the development, design, manufacture or production of missiles, or nuclear, chemical or biological weapons."
"Do you fear the iPocalypse?"
Preacher: "The iPocalypse is a-comin'!"
That Satanist kid who used his parents' house as a church when they left for the weekend: "I hereby summon the four demons of the iPocalypse!"
Or...

Man who walks into an airport carrying only his laptop case, going through the packs of security, then taking out his laptop:
"EVERYONE, GET DOWN! I'VE GOT iTUNES AND I'M NOT AFRAID TO USE IT! IT'LL BE THE F**KIN' iPOCALYPSE!"

the Four Horsemen of the Infocalypse

Boogey men used to scare people out of their privacy, free speech and other rights online. Canonically, these are terrorists, pedophiles, drug dealers, and money launderers but other distasteful people may be used depending on the audience.
Eventually, all of the Four Horsemen of the Infocalypse were trotted out by SOPA/PIPA advocates.

ipocalypse

The Internet works on IP Version 4 (IPv4) addressing. It is predicted that sometime late in 2011 that no more IPv4 addresses will be available. No doubt the press will declare the end of the Internet, and that all communications will soon cease. This the the IPOCALYPSE.

Predictions on the demise of the world, the end of the communications, and what companes will be affected will run rampant in the mainstream news. Some people will load up their women, guns and bibles and head to their cabins in Montana.

Of course, engineers have already thought about the solution, with the uber-practical name of IP Version 6, and are just waiting for the business and liberal arts fraternities to wake up and spend some money on the transition instead of smelling their armpits before heading out to an arts festival.
After the ipocalypse the Internet will fail and the entire world will collapse into economic failure.

iPocalypse

When your iPod / MP3 player suddenly and unexpectedly wipes out all your music, causing fear, panic, and usually mass amounts of illegal downloading to replace the lost songs.
"Oh man, I just had an iPocalypse! I lost like 4000 songs!"

"Ian had an iPocalypse and now has to re-download all his music from torrent sites."

the Four Horsemen of the Infocalypse

Refers to cybercriminals. The exact meaning changes over time, but generally refers to drug dealers, money launderers, pedophiles, and terrorists. While none of this is new, the term was coinged due to the drastic effects such activity has had on the rights and daily online experiences of regular individuals.
"Thanks to the Four Horsemen of the Infocalypse, the police are now allowed to search my computer whenever they want for whatever reason they want!"
