A coworker's friend was first in line at an Apple store. A guy offered $500 for his spot and his friend said no. But his friend was only buying one so the guy offered to buy 2 iphones and give him one. So he got a free iPhone.

Of course the buyer didn't realize he only had to wait 30 before buying one w/o a line...

Great read, Mojo. Thanks for sharing. Now, can we get back to flaming each other on forums?

That's an odd position. Personally, I don't enjoy posting things from a cell phone, be it a real keyboard or a virtual one. It's just too much of a pain.

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but: I WILL NOT be assimilated, resistance IS NOT futile! I sometimes leave the house just to get AWAY from the phone! I listen to my music straight from real CDs or DVDs or SACD with every darned zero or one getting through, either on speakers driven with a real sound system, or with a PCDP with quality Headphones...no buds or those goofy cheap little portable cans!(cancel that; my Wife likes her iPod with KSC75s) When I get on line I want to look at a real MONITOR no smaller than 19" and have a full-size keyboard! I figure out where I'm going before I leave and I watch the ROAD when I drive! And the speedometer is good enough to tell me how fast I'm going and if I really, really want to see which direction I'm heading, the van has a compass display. Besides; I haven't gotten lost since I was sixteen!

My Nikon F2a takes great shots or we take the Wifes' digital cam.(in the years I've had a camera phone I believe I've taken three shots with it!)And as far as video; why on earth would I want to watch a video on a teensy little screen when I'm outside in the heat when I can watch it at home on a 65" screen with full surround and enjoy the air-conditioning!? And if it displays TV; 1000 channels and nothing to watch anyway! And they ain't nothin' goin' on in my life important enough that I can't wait to get home to check my e-mail that I normally only check once every two or three days anyway!

Resistance IS NOT futile!




You rebel! But a guarantee you have an automatic thermostat on your central air system!

I found another news clip. This is just for fun. It isn't slamming the iPhone or praising it. It is just funny, really towards the end of the video, when CNBC says "We're not bitter about not getting an iPhone...."

iPhone Video Clip

Of course, it was pretty bad when the phone wouldn't work live on TV and then the TV show says "It doesn't work"... (Which I guess is what prompted the denial of giving out more iPhones prior to public release.)
Got to love those tech glitches right at the wrong time. Steve Jobs' old pal Bill Gates has had his share as well, but that is another story.

I know what you mean. I just got a cell phone myself. It works great when I keep it turned off.

I still have never owned a cell phone. I can't imagine wanting one, except of course when I am stranded somewhere. Since I never leave the house, the chances that are slim, but who knows, a twister could deposit me in Oz or something.
