Line Forms At Apple's Always-Open Manhattan Cube
SpectreBlofeld writes "According to EngadgetMobile, a line has formed in front of Apple's flagship Cube store in Manhattan. From the article: 'So word on the street (literally) is that a large number of people are queuing in line outside of Apple's flagship store on 5th Avenue in New York City — keep in mind the Cube is open 24 hours a day. Our intrepid girl-on-the-scene reports that the group is more than 60-deep, though most people seem confused about what they're waiting for, but some believe they're actually camping out for a 3G iPhone.' Prank, or mass hysteria?" I wonder if the crowd already has its own Flickr group set up -- if not, what are they waiting for on that front?
You forget one thing:
The people below them too stupid to see what's going on, and too placated to care; after all, Mussolini made the trains run on time, right?
And before people stomp on my head, yes, I know the comparisons are awkward at best between Steve and Mussolini, so pick another reason to say I'm a retard, or mod me down as "overrated" and "flamebait".
Let's stop dilly-dallying and just change "-1: Overrated" to "-1: Disagree" or "-1: Doesn't Subscribe to Groupthink".
It is a historical fact that Mohammad dictated the Koran while in what modern people would call a seizer.
When he came out of his seizer he would look at what had been dictated and declare which verses were from Allah and which were from Satan (the Satanic verses).
You have got to be real credulous to place any value at all in that book. (Beyond its use as Toilet Paper!)
In any case saying it was written by Satan is no more trollish then saying it was written by God. It might be your belief but it is sure to offend someone.
In any case the God I worship doesn't select baby rapers as Prophets.

The line is formed from people excited about Apple's next Apple/ATnT/CIA project. Once inside the store the sheeple will get a free month of CIA monitored web browsing for agreeing to register for certain privacy-intrusive biometric identifications, i.e. retina scans, palm prints, and butt prints.
Meanwhile, six feet underground, Orwell, Burroughs, Robert Anton Wilson and Thomas Jefferson roll over once again.
TO START
PRESS ANY KEY
Where's the 'ANY' key? I see Esk, Kitarl, and Pig-Up...
They have no idea what they're doing but figure they have to do it simply because it's Apple.
I hope it turns out to be nothing and they all get charged for loitering.
