Xmas in June
In honor of eddy...today the iPhone is released to the masses. If you are one of those people who has been waiting in line since Wednesday, or lost sleep in anticipation of what is being treated like Santa coming down the pipeline - you are stupid.

OK, well not stupid. But you are going to pay $500-600 for the honor of being an Apple beta-tester.

It's not that the iPhone is not seriously cool...but I'm starting to take exception to Apple's overt marketing tactics: you are not cool unless you have expensive things. What was once a cool, artistic culture is becoming something less creative, and more....well, microsoft. Only prettier.

Actually just saw this at gapingvoid (sums up the hysteria):

Or you could have been one of the lucky people who have been working for Apple for a year or more. They're all getting an iPhone for free (roughly a $12 million retail amount).

Talk about perks.
