iPhone Fan vs PhoneMart Employee

Another hilarious production made possible by xtranormal. This is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while, and absolutely worth reposting. As much as I fall into Apple fanboy mentality sometimes, stuff like this is a good reminder to shake you back to reality of how annoying it can be to those who don’t buy into the madness (for more on that, see The Onion’s brilliant ‘Apple Friend Bar’).

And, the fact that this scenario probably isn’t too far from the truth in many situations is an amazing reminder of just how much people buy into this brand.

For better or worse.

Enjoy.

succumbing to iPad fever

I’ve been actively trying to avoid going too crazy with technolust for the iPad, not because I don’t think it is going to be fantastic but largely because I just didn’t want to go for the first generation only to get pissed off when the far better next gen comes out. But today’s news about the Netflix streaming app that’s now available (along with rumors of the upcoming Hulu app) which seem to solve (at least in part) some of the iPads video woes are pushing me to seriously reconsider my decision so far. Probably too late to jump on the bandwagon now, but at this point I didn’t expect to be feeling guilty about not going for it straight out of the gate. Add to that what looks to be hundreds of apps already approved, and I feel my doubts about holding out growing stronger.

Anyone else try to holdout and now rethinking that decision? Maybe there’s a facebook support group for it.
