Hate to think what his masturbation diary is like.

passbook still doesn't work. 'can't connect to itunes store' error for days now. that setting-the-time-ahead-a-year-and-back-again trick does nothing. what i am trying to say here is lol.

oh god, that link

Autumn Almanac, Sunday, 23 September 2012 00:38 (eleven years ago) link

just looking at a gallery of pics of people celebrating buying the iphone, all the genuses are arrayed in a gauntlet cheering them on, real weird shit

Wow, that actually is kinda like

3. The rep then encourages you to open your iPhone and shares in your excitement.

It's late and I'm drunk, but that link really upset me. How can a person have lived in such a fucking vacuum that this is such a big deal to him? I really want to track down the at&t store guy and just give him a little hug for dealing with a shit job he probably hates like any normal person would. Fuck these coddled overgrown grubery cunts.

Although I can see why he thinks apple owes him.

when I got my 4, I picked it up at the store and the sales rep tried to behave as if he was guiding me through a religious experience, to the point where he placed the box in front of me and encouraged me to open it, then wanted me to sit there and bask in the phone's glory

I basically looked at him like he was insane and plugged the phone into his laptop so I could set it up and get the fuck out of there; this time I'm having it delivered so I don't have to deal with that shit (though it's not getting here until October; fair trade-off IMO)

ppl like the dude who wrote that blog are the fucking worst and if I could figure out how to make money punching them all in the face while singing I would have discovered my dream job

when I got my first ipad from an apple store, the bloke who served me was ~properly creepy~, to the point that I had to encourage him to settle the fuck down

tbf its more of a pocket computer than a phone, so its understandable

my iphone 5 stayed in its sealed courier bag for most of the day, I mentioned it off-hand to someone and three people were like WHAT WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT

holy shit re: scammer dude

hahahahahahahahahaha

cake-like Lady Gaga (DJP), Sunday, 23 September 2012 03:51 (eleven years ago) link

that guy is being totally overdramatic, but i partially agree with what he's saying in that a big part of the Apple fetish is their boxing. but expecting the sales guy to watch you open the package and beam good vibrations is hilarious

Nhex, Sunday, 23 September 2012 06:03 (eleven years ago) link

Apple store dude tried to do that with my iPad 1. And dropped it. Can't imagine how this guy would have handled that

In 1997 when I went into GAME and said "I'd like an N64 with Mariokart and Mario64 please" the lad behind the counter tried to give me a high five. I'm afraid left him hanging.

very probably, if they're having to meet insane targets of 4867438378953 units per day

Autumn Almanac, Monday, 24 September 2012 10:25 (eleven years ago) link

i don't understand how they can despoil the excitement like this

stet, Monday, 24 September 2012 10:26 (eleven years ago) link

fwiw I think they'll all scuff and ultimately just look loved/worn like the old ipods xp

Autumn Almanac, Monday, 24 September 2012 10:26 (eleven years ago) link

mine was fine out of the box, one or two tiny tiny barely perceptible dings on the top, but tbh I could have done those myself

Autumn Almanac, Monday, 24 September 2012 10:29 (eleven years ago) link

my macbook pro arrived scuffed and when I opened it a few months later to reattach the optical drive's cable, a loose screw fell out

barthes simpson, Monday, 24 September 2012 11:42 (eleven years ago) link

but yeah no I can't believe the well-paid artisanal iphone makers in China would let this slip under their watchful eyes

the discovery that their co-workers might be responsible for defiling the precious objects led them to riot yesterday

God damn, I hate the iphone. I had a nasty falling out with my sister over it. I just don't think it is cute or ergonomic. Everyone tells me to get one "for the music". It has all of these hard edges. I just think they are ugly and un-phonelike. Then my mom got an ipad and it's cool for people who aren't heavy into computers...but as soon as I get the money I'm getting a Macbook pro. What's sad is many CAD programs aren't available for Mac so I always need a PC. But I miss the laptops.

Besides, I don't use itunes anymore since it lost its charm a long time ago plus someone at work (in house job?) hacked all of our itunes and that kind of ruined the experience for a lot of us. Believe it or not, I switched to Windows Media Player until Spotify came along.

I need to buy a few copies of Windows for my Mac-using office to use w/ boot camp. I assume Windows 7 is the best, most affordable option but when I search for a copy to buy I get confused. Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64bit (Full) System Builder DVD 1 Pack -- is this what i want? i don't even know what it means! can someone here w/ more experience than me w/ boot camp link me up to the thing on amazon I need to buy so I can become WORKPLACEHERO???

Also if you can wait Windows 8 is going to be uber-cheap in the first few months. It's out in a couple of weeks iirc

stet, Monday, 24 September 2012 14:54 (eleven years ago) link
