Tell one, tell another
This morning when I woke up, I had a text message on my phone at 7:15 that said “I am currently in line at apple store soho, come say hi on your way in”. It’s from none other that
Johnny Vulkan. At this moment I forget what day it is. I know it’s only Tuesday, and the geek in me knows that the iPhone comes out on
June 29th, as well as all the YouTube movies on appletv and the
iPhone. Could today be the 29th. I get on my
motorcycle on my way to work and I coast past a film shoot on mulberry and prince. As I get closer to the apple store I see johnny by himself standing in front of the store scrolling his phone. I then reach into my pocket and pull out my phone to see what the date is.. it’s the 26th. What is this madness?
As it turns out, Johnny is standing first in line for Keep a Child Alive. He is going to plans purchase the first iPhone + Jawbone and put in on Ebay. The resulting money he will pass on to the Foundation. As well he is considering selling sponsorships of his shirt at $500/logo.
26
Keep up the good work bro! Oh man, that puts my recent scheming to shame. I hit the streets begging for an iphone (: Here’s my youtube video

so nice!! all that sacrifice!!!….but bathroom/shower breaks?
Not to be a hater, but why is everyone rushing out to PAY to BETA TEST. My friend got his DAY1 and he is one iPHUK’d Number 2. Has anyone realized that APPLE has really let their customer base down with its hardware failures.
PS- I am a 20 year MAC loyalist so its not a PCvMAC thing.
One thing I never heard anyone complain about in line for the iPhone was the price. Not to say everyone who buys an iPhone has money to burn, but people have been planning for it, waiting, probably praying. People will always buy things that don’t work as well as they should, and Apple is no different than any other company that builds planned obsolescence into their products. Apple wants to make money just like anyone else. Their genius lies in their marketing and industrial design, both of which have branded Apple as The Good Guys.
