Camping out in the rain to buy a product which isn't rare, isn't proven, and isn't even necessary (no matter how highly desirable) :cen We Americans really are proving to be blindly consuming lemmings. I'm curious how many of these iphones will be put on a credit card, compounding the destruction.
If I were rich, I'd pay somebody to camp out in the rain for my iPhone too.

Don't you get it? People no longer buy products for their usefullness, they are, instead, buying an image of themselves! They no longer have their own identity so they have to cull it from the products that they buy!!Quote:
