AT&T Vs. Apple Store At the iPhone Launch
MBCook tips an article at Gizmodo that begins with a reader's experiences trying to buy an iPhone yesterday at an AT&T store and an Apple store. Many, but not all, of the comments on the post echo this reader's experience: Apple good, AT&T bad. "Day one revealed what all Apple aficionados fear. That AT&T, through the depths of its incompetence, could derail the iPhone."
I feel especially bad for the people who waited in line for hours, only to have some jerk in front of them buy up the last 4.
It's a fucking phone that quite frankly, you will care NOTHING about in 6 months because the Next OMGHI2U Best Thing is being trotted out by Father Materialism. How many more bits of consumerism must you buy before you realize you are the latest in a sad parade of chumps who lined up to buy Marco Polo's tea from the Orient, tulips in Sweden, Pet Rocks in the 70s, Cabbage Patch Dolls in the 80s, Nintendo 64s in the 70s, and now this. Will your life truly be complete because you now own the most overpriced phone of the moment? Or is this just the latest fix?
It's moments like this that truly make Islam look sane.
Obviously you have no clue...
No Landscape mode outside of Safari? How about Landscape with youtube, with movies, with TV shows, with music, with photos? Guess there's no landscape mode outside of Safari.
Say Hi to Hugo, and enjoy your freely elected dictator.
