I've been hearing about the launch of the new iPhone for weeks now because my roommate seems to think this phone is the second coming of Xenu, so I feel slightly justified when I admit that this brought a smile to my face:
The launch of Apple Inc.'s much-anticipated new iPhone turned into an information-technology meltdown on Friday, as customers were unable to get their phones working.
Here's what happened: There was some sort of glitch with Apple's iTunes servers which kept the phones from being fully activated in the stores; instead, buyers — many of whom had camped out for hours just to be among the first to own the new phone — had to go home and perform the last step on their own computers. Sadly, the iTunes server wasn't available even from home, leaving the phones unusable.
Oh, and owners of the old model got screwed over, too: "A software update released for that phone on Friday morning required the phone to be reactivated through iTunes. 'It's a mess,' said freelance photographer Giovanni Cipriano, who updated his first-generation iPhone only to find it unusable."
I knew I loved my Blackberry for a reason, and it's not just because I play Brickbreaker like it's my job.

That's what morons get for waiting hours to buy a piece of technology that will be obsolete in a few months, if not sooner.
I wounder how many people got fired over this?
Actually, the new iPhone has to be activated through AT&T's servers, not through iTunes. Activation issue is an AT&T screwup, though we can blame Apple for letting AT&T take over the process.
ha I laugh as I type this on my new iPhone. It's better then xenu. Yeah,I mocked. Xenu.
I 2nd your HA juju! Steve Jobs owns me! He's a good keeper… better than Xenu.
I love brick breaker, but I can't get past level 21… :(
Hahaha! Also, I read and comment on Mollygood like it's my job!
Well, wait, that's not true.
I put in a lot more time here.
i got l'iPhone in October, jailbroke that bitch, and am still running 1.1.1 firmware (there have been like 5 updates since then.) Obsolete? I think not.
I have a Blackberry Curve and an iPhone. My firm gave me a Blackberry so they could keep tabs on me.
So I speak from experience when I say:
The iPhone meets the Blackberry in the schoolyard at three o'clock high, punches the Blackberry in the pinkberries, stomps on its neck, rips its head off, poops in the Blackberry's neckhole, and then points and laughs as the Blackberry goes crying back to its mom.
Blackberry can't touch the iPhone. Neither can Mc Hammer.
True.Story.
Beautiful, STM! :-)
My husband's "firm" issued him one of them there "tracking" devices. He has never suggested we actually throw, I mean spend, our own money away on one for our own personal usage.
The side by side comparison is always good.
And I would never want to upset the master. Now I feel the need to go watch MANOS:THE HANDS OF FATE. But only the version with robot commentary…
QC, If I were on the jury, I would say she won the case for the i-phone, hands down.
bbb, i was just thinking the other day that i would kill to watch MST2K Manos Hands of Fate. good times.
Manos Hands of Fate it is. Nice choice.
Also, I brought a raw steak to put on Blackberry's eye, but I grilled it and ate it.
I got hungry.
dude, why didn't you share? i like steak too.
*sulks in corner*
Oh STM, I am so greedy. I am sorry.
I have a nice Blackberry Pie that I pulled out of the oven about 10 minutes ago. It's just about cooled down.
I whipped up some homemade whip cream with a smidgen of vanilla to top it with, or there is ice cream in the fridge.
You get first dibs.
We can all thank IPhone for bringing me the Blackberrys.
LOLs @ Keeblerkahn
Mines still working and I love me some apps at the apps store. It's just kick ass crazy and when I try and tell someone how crazy funny old Greg is, I can just whip out my iphone and show them on the you tubes. I could never do that with my own phone.
I also had a blackberry but have to say that I am enjoying this phone 10x more. And the point it will be obsolete anyways is a little silly. Everyone with any kind of cell phone will find it obsolete when a new model comes out.
I actually thought waiting in line was fun. I was with my friend and the people around us were fun. We had Starbucks runs and laughed our heads off. It was kind of like waiting for Grateful Dead tickets. Minus the weed of course.
People wait in line for hours or even camp out for concert tickets. You can wait crazy amounts of time waiting for a ride at Disney. It's not like I would have cured cancer or saved the world during the time I was waiting in line anyways. I would have been sleeping and then waking up to post here.
I have to go wipe Steve Jobs ass now, he owns my ass now. But it's ok because I can update my blog online. Even though I'm too lazy to do it right now. I love my damn phone and if loving my phone is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
Also, iphone had sex with blackberry's mother and that's a true story. Look it up.
*old phone* and I'd correct the rest of it but I'm too tired.
Very nice comment, jujubees.
You can have nice conversations with people as you are waiting in line for a ride at Disneyland.
I probably enjoyed the conversations that I had with people from all over the country while waiting in line more than the rides themselves.
Also, while we were all my waiting in line at Disneyland to get on Pirates of the Carribean, my son brought up Mollygood on his IPhone for me. I got a kick out of THAT!
