Perhaps some of you people just need to get laid. Or... I don't know. Maybe jump around a little bit or something. Some of you give me the impression that you'd even hate sex.
Wow, an overeaction...... to an overeaction.

Maybe you're onto something as iphone owners get more sex.

I only wish the Apple store had 4 walls. Then nobody could ever get in!

Careful. People only truly take offence to the things that actually relate to them.

I own 2 iPhone's, an iPad, and enough ipods I have lost count. So I suppose it sorta relates to me. I guess I don't really give a crap if someone wants to use a BB or a Zune. I like Apple stuff, and people can like other stuff if they like... its none of my business. And I don't feel obliged to throw my body on any grenades thrown Apples way.

But keep it up, I do find your fanaticism highly entertaining. I visit any Apple related thread simply to see you in action.

Guys in case it hasn't become apparent yet, I have a very sarcastic sense of humor.

(I really don't think whether or not someone likes a store that I've only been to twice in the last two years is going to have much of an impact on me.)

So were the free t-shirts all xl and you 'simply' just have to put duct tape around them to make them into a size medium?

It's been said that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

I was in WEM yesterday and walked past the Apple store. It had a "cattle chute" area for the customers, a security guard at the door and there had to have been a hundred people lined up to get it.

WTF?

its not like it was the opening of Victoria Secret or anything.

I'm pretty sure that saying was developed sarcastically.

I thought Jay Leno reading typos in newspaper headlines was the lowest form of wit.

According to twitter there is a ton of iPhone 4 stock at Chinook today for the grand opening. If you're crazy enough to go there today, give it a shot.

I walked by at around 11am this morning. The line was at least 100 people long.

Signs we've returned to the 1980's.....

1. Pop Stars are more about shock than substance (Meat dress anyone?).
2. Personal debt is skyrocketing.
3. Wall Street tops the box office.
4. People care way too much about Apple.

I don't get it either. I walked by it today, probably 30 people in line and store itself was only moderately busy inside.

Was it a generic line or a line just for iPhone 4's? That's what Market has been doing since only specific reps do the iPhones now.

Some even came as early as 3:30 a.m. The doors to the mall opened at 5 a.m. and the stores opened at 8 a.m.

People like Jonathan Shonicker, 22.

"I'm here to get an iPhone 4," said Shonicker, who was the first in line at the Apple store. "Because my phone sucks hard-core. Doesn't do anything. I don't care what it costs. It could cost anything I'll pay it right now. I need a new phone."
Wow....
