New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

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

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

imo this sounds more like a spiritual calling than a job

More pics pls

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

i.e.

IT IS A PHONE YOU DICKS

holy shit re: scammer dude

hahahahahahahahahaha

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

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.

jim you cold as ice

is it possible to believe Apple are shipping iphones in this state
http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/24/3381464/iphone-5-scuff-photos#3864013

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

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

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

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

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

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???

you probably want this

I had a nasty falling out with my sister over it.

Seriously? How does that happen?

only "toilet paper: over or under" causes more nuclear family detonations iirc

xxp is there a cheaper version? maybe personal edition instead of professional?

People are strange

There's Home Premium: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002DHGMK0

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

i use my iphone for the music, the best music comes with iphone, everyone knows that

that means my work pc will be three operating systems out of date

THREE

I already have Windows 8 on a virtual machine running on my MBP ^_^

kinda want to take my iMac to boot camp, but don't want to actually pay money for windows

if only there were some way to get software for free

maybe i'll write a letter to bill gates, i am basically related to him (actually sort of true, in a "my parents were genetically required to be at a wedding that he was required to attend by marriage")

omg the 'g' in 'gbx' stands for 'gates' as in 'bill gates, richest man in america'

gates bill x billion dollars
