The iPhone 3G and Mobile ME are the two worst products you could have ever created. Their release was far too early and far too complicated. The affordability slapped on the new iPhone has caused mass amounts of idiots to come and sign their lives away on your glorious product.
While I love the iPhone and all the geekiness that goes with it, making this version cheaper has done nothing but harm to your loyal customers. Not only has this affected the coolness factor that so many of us elitist snobs enjoy, but it has ravaged your customer service phone lines, representatives and overall appeal.
It is almost impossible to enter an Apple retail store now due to the mass amounts of mindless PC using drones that want to look cool by owning an iPhone. I cannot take in my poor Macbook to the Genius Bar to have the battery checked due to this madness. In the past when I've made an appointment, there was no problem making it for the same day, later in the afternoon. I made one this morning at 10:00 am, and am forced to wait until late afternoon tomorrow to even see someone. I tried to call to talk to someone, but all the lines are held up because of the... LEGIONS OF MORONS MEANDERING ABOUT AND HOLDING UP ALL TECHNICAL SUPPORT.
Please go back being Apple, trying to be Microsoft is just a bad idea.
About the author: Shawn is a cynical, and die hard Macintosh user. He expects his machines to function they way they are suppose to without a hitch, which is why he does not use Windows. A rant against Microsoft would be extremely explicit and vulgar and could have him arrested for malicious threats.
I've decided to do a few different posts that reveal a little more about myself. I have many friends on Vox that know me personally, but I also have many who span all over the world, so this is mainly for them. However, if you are one of the people that have seen me and touched my magnificent skin, then you may learn something as well.

Yesterday I embarked down to Tigard, OR to the Apple store to purchase a new 17" iMac for GTC. Amen. Being I can't go into an apple store and not come out empty handed, I picked up a new iPod too, which is more of a necessity than a toy, but that's another story.
Anyway, my friend's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bowen, live about 3 miles from the mall at which I was at, so I decided to give them a call to see if they wanted to meet for coffee. They just happened to be moving in to a new apartment so I offered to help. They accepted my offer and I journeyed over to move some furniture after my gallivanting among superior electronics. After moving a couch and a recliner up a short staircase, we were finished. They offered to buy me dinner. I accepted. What followed was a culinary experience that I will never forget.
As they were going down the options of different cuisines in the area, sushi came up. I had never had sushi and actually despise seafood in general, but I've wanted to try sushi for a long time. I'll always try something at least once and if I don't like it than at least I can honestly say so. So we decided to go for it. As you can see in the picture above I am shoving a piece of raw salmon on rice into my mouth with chopsticks. Now, I eat Chinese food like its going out of style, but I've never used chopsticks. Never. My brother an I used to use them to catapult shrimp across the restaurants when we were kids but never to eat with. So I learned to use chopsticks as well, and they actually aren't as hard as I thought. By the end of the night I was a master. I ate almost every kind of sushi that passed by me on the
little boats
that floated on the water. I learned about wasabi, and the importance
drinking lots of water, as well as how they actually charge for it.
(The plates are color coated) I learned that California Rolls, actually have fish eggs in them (Unless Emmett was pulling my leg) and that is why some of the items "pop" in your mouth and in your teeth. I only ate one thing that I didn't enjoy, and that was the Salmon. I liked the octopus, and I loved the BBQ'd eel. That rocked. All in all it was a great experience that I can honestly say I tried it... and liked it. I will certainly eat it again.
I'd like to say that something funny happened, but as much as Emmett laughed at me (as you can see in the above picture), nothing hilarious happened. I think He just liked the idea of me eating raw fish for the first time, and because he and Renee were handing me different plates as fast I could eat them. Whatever the case may be, Thanks you two for the experience of eating something completely foreign to me and helping add another favorite to my list of foods.
Word.
