I For One Welcome Our New iPhone Overlords

iphone stampede

Well here I am, as the song says, wasting my time in the waiting line. What in god’s name can I do to pass the time for the next five bloody hours? WiFi hotspots are few and far between, those that are available are either private networks or open but extremely weak. sigh

    Is this even a line for the iPhone? Looks like a PS3 line to me.

    Correct. There’s a funny story behind this photo. A Richmond VA school system was selling old academic-used iBooks for $50, which attracted hundreds of people. Those that came waited in line for hours, much like us today, and may actually urinated and defecated in their pants in order to stay in line. When the school open the gates it was literally a human stampede, with people trampling each other. Makes you proud, doesn’t it? ;-)
