iphone idiots

[ToddM]

Who are these morons waiting outside Apple stores for 2 days, sleeping in the rain, probably wearing diapers and ****ting themselves to not lose their place in line, to buy a brand new iPhone?



Interviewer: Excuse me, but why ARE you waiting in line here at the Apple Store.

Geek; Well, I'm a total fn retard. My life revolves around having the latest gadget to impress all y other geek friends. My life absolutely revolves around geekiness, but is otherwise totally valueless. I have NOTHING else to do with my time but waste a few days standing in line

Interviewer: "How Interesting. What will you do AFTER you get the Iphone?"

Geek; "I'm going to go stand in another line. After all, the new Harry Potter movie opens in just a few weeks.

"sleeping in the rain, probably wearing diapers and ****ting themselves .." -- LOL.

Oh hey, wait a min... haven't you seen the commercial spots? "Hi Mac . . Hi PC . . "
Clearly Apple users are the kwel, mentally balance, non-quirky people who are perfectly casual about their abundance of kewelness.

UGH.

smug e-dorks, portrayed by metrosexuals nonetheless.

If this is supposed to be modern fashionable, no thanks. I'll sit this one out.

I think this every Thanksgiving when they show people lined up, sleeping on sidewalks to get to the store on Friday. What losers. I make it my goal to do all Xmas shopping online because of this stuff. I buy cards at the stores though.

I will confess that I camped out for concert tix once (first VH concert). But that was before Stub Hub and the Internet and back when getting tix in the parking lot was not as easy.

$600.00 for a freakin' phone!!!! I'm a Mac Man and still I'll pass thanks.

WTF? Why wouldn't you just order it from the Apple store online?

MacMorons must really have empty lives. To be that desperate for attention over your new phone.....what a bunch of poofs.

[Shaun @ Tru6]

Why are folks so passionately vehement about what other people do, especially when there's absolutely no connection between you and them?

I don't get it.

Politics I understand. the safety of cast wheels equally so. but is "people standing in line" really a hot topic?

[cantdrv55]

So how do you like your iPhone, Shaun?

[jriera]

I will stop by my ATT or Apple store tonight after dinner, if there is more than two people I will order online, I just want to 'touch it' and find out what options do I have with my existing plan (unlimited data and 900 minutes) to 'convert' to the iPhone plan. If it is more than $10 extra a month I will pass until WiMax or 3G are available from AT&.After all is just a 'very-nice-looking' piece of technology that will become obsolete in 6 months or less like any other phone.

People queue and pay money for very 'solid' unknown reason (i.e. a 3.6 on a SC or carbon brakes, concert, movies, etc.).

How do you know they are Mac users?

Apple make cross platform hardware.

I know quite a number of people who have Airports, iPods, AppleTV's but not Mac PC's.

Wayne has been one of the most vocal on this board in terms of the iPhone and he's primarily a Windows user.

Ive done cell phone design, I am not saying it's not nice, Im saying standing in line for 2 days for something that wont work 100% is ridiculous

I might guess that a majority of the 100M+ iPod owners/users are also PC folk.

FWIW.

Best,

No argument on the standing in line thing.

As far as it not working 100%. It does work 100%. It just does not have some of the features that we might have wanted/expected.

Lack of 3G and installable apps is a biggie for me. Maybe not so much for other people.

I wan't an iPhone and am trying to resist going to the store and getting one today.

I think I will be better off waiting for the next rev.
