I'm sure for $200 extra it comes with Sudoku and Knitting Patterns, each as exciting as fucking "music" and "videos"

From BBC news:
In a move set to shake the telephone industry, Apple confirmed that The iSheep will come with 5 free "bleat tones", with the option of expanding to millions more via the iBleat website (price TBC, but expected to be around $2 with necessary DRM protection to avoid counter-bleats).
"Our userbase expects more" commented Steve Jobs. "As long as they keep giving us money, we will give them exactly that: more faulty hardware, suspect after sales support and the legendary Apple overcharging which we have become renowned for." he added.
The iSheep is expected to be released shortly. Intensive promotional campaigns featuring midget pole dancers silhouetted against mentalist red and green lazer lights has already begun airing in the United States.
"It has never been a better time to be a sheep. Join the bleatalution!" added Jobs.

Oh i know, but I think most people could have predicted a few years ago that people will start to hate iPods as they became unbearably popular, as is the way these things tend to go, so its a bit tedious having to go through the motions of it all

Hey just accept the new iPhone, .. I'm not going to buy it, I'm not going to buy an iPod or an iAnything, not out of some romantic notions of consumer rebellion, but because I neither want nor need these things, and anyone fetishising them I think is an arsehole. So, calmly ignore that and consider your next purchase, you fucking penis.

not a defense, it's not a defense at all. i think a lot of their shit is retarded, especially those mini super micro pico mp3 players who cost way too much even though it's probably more costy to cram shit together like that (you will need stronger islanders). BUT, i think all the attacks on here are completely pointless as well. like all my posts. it's the sum of nothing. but the text, of course. text, yeah. text. txt. t.t.t.t. hey.
oh, and honestly. what's wrong with laziness? huh, spunkyboy?

there already are ipod/music phones. and they're shit. jack of all trades, master of none and all that. infact, does anyone use their phone for music? its always shit.
and this thread is supposed to be about the future. in the old days the future had hover cars and food pills and robot servants and international money. that was so much cooler.

but it's got MULTI TOUCH MODULAR SURFACES.
for some reason the "tech nerd" in me just ejaculates over anything like that. i really hate hybrid devices that try to do everything at once with too little capacity to do two things simultaneously, but that touch thing looks so neat. but then there's the pricetag. and it will probably be revised in under a year after launh. and and and. ugh. i'm going to go sob over my being now. sob acid.

what provokes me, is how they (apfel) present it, as it's so cool, and they are all clapping and act amazed by their own new revolutionary product on the release, and all these stupid motherfuckers with white earplugs sticking out of their arses thinks this is a cool product. but really, i don't care. but when i see those people, i do think to myself; wankshots.
