This isn't nearly as fun as a Jobs/Gore political battle flame post.

Looks like order has been restored. Good Job MDN.

And, Justified is right... Jobs/Gore flame battle is a whole lotta fun.

Did I just hit my head? Oh, Auntie Em. I just had the strangest dream. Jim, you were there. And you too, justified.



And oh yes, death to Windows.

Yep, good to see the return of order.

And I was there too, No Squirt.

Dang! AAPL is down $0.11 as of this time. I guess we won't get another headline about AAPL hitting another high -- again.

Seriously did a spit take at NSFY... that was hilarious. Crap, this was a new shirt and I'm at work!

Yes, Micro Me. You kept going on about needing courage or something. And these stupid red slippers are killing my toes. I guess I could take them off. Maybe later.

Jim: That's why I have to wear a computer bib.

Now AAPL is down -.65! It was way over a dollar this morning, only 11¢ away from $115 a share. Hmmm...

I had a post that mysertiously vanished too... Strange things are a foot at The Circle K.

Yeah, that was me No Squirt. I was the rhinoceros in the corner trying to balance a bowl of porridge on my head. You were singing, "Always look on the bright side of life". And I swear someone called me "Shirley". Same dream. Wierd.

Did I miss anything over there, other than the misogyny?

wow... 179 posts so far...
MDN really knows how to push our buttons.

MW: 'enough'

Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You hijacked my name. Prepare to die.

I just got back from the Cingular/ AT&T;Store.. signed up my whole family, mom, dad, brother, myself.. all getting iPhones.

There is a 100 person waiting list at that ONE store. Twenty of the 100 are new "activation" customers who are getting priority. So there is most definitely a wait list already in progress.

If you want an iPhone get in line now.

For 4 phones we are going to be paying a little bit over 300 a month, including 40 per phone for data (unlimited data and 1500 messages/mo per phone). The 3000 minute plan was 149 for 2 phones, and 10 per month for each additional for the other 2, and 17 per month for all four phones to have "unlimited minutes from 7pm to 7am" rather than starting at 9pm.

They gave us freebee loaner phones for the month we'll be waiting for the iPhone to come out, we had to pay taxes on those 4 and will have to pay taxes again on the iPhones.

The store rep said most of the people coming in and on the wait list were Mac users.

TWM - that's a lot of dough for 4 phones. Did they quote you a price for the iPhones?

I guess you will be paying 2K for the units and 4K a year for the services.

Anything later than June 15 is, IMHO, late and yet another deadline blunder by Apple. Unfortunately it's what we've come to expect. Nothing this year has been released on time. Nothing.

"Our checks continue to indicate steady but seasonally slower demand for [Apple] iPods"

Get ready for the armchair analysts, such as Enderle, Thurrot & Dvorak to state that the iPod's demand is in decline and the Zune 2.0 will assimilate us all.

@DogGOne: I didnt say I was paying for the service, I'm laying out the dough for the phones. Yeah it'll be a lot but my family will appreciate it I think/hope!

@iMaki: "Anything later than June 15 is, IMHO, late and yet another deadline blunder by Apple. Unfortunately it's what we've come to expect. Nothing this year has been released on time. Nothing."

You sir, are a jackass. No promise was made about any June 15 availability. If you read that on a rumor site and assume that was the launch date, and they release it on June 22 or 30th then too bad. It's not late, you're just a retard for saying and thinking that.

That's like buying a lotto ticket and when you don't win, it's a "broken promise" by the Lotto people.

Grow up.

PS. iMaki, unless you're already in line to buy an iPhone, there's virutally no chance you'll get one on launch day. Even I will be lucky to get one on Day 1.
