Just out of curiosity, what would you have done it it was the line to Starbucks? How much do you love your coffee? Does it love you back?


BTW, my mom called this morning. She and my father saw the Iphone media blitz and wanted to know if I wanted one for my upcoming birthday.

I thanked her and declined.

a)I had this horrible picture of my mom and dad joining the crush to get one of these overhyped dongles. Now, my mom a tough negotiator who usually got what she wanted, but in this case she would be outmatched.

b) It's overpriced.
c) It's version 1.0
d) It would require switching carriers to what I am sure is some hideously expensive service plan (I heard iPhones are locked to AT&T for 5 years)
e) While I respect the Apple operating system, I found iHardware to not be technologically superior to any alternative and that most of the additional cost is associated with brand and sleek packaging.

*I cannot f**cking believe that they are pulling that 'no removable battery' sh*t again. Didn't they learn anything from Ipod 1.0?
