iphone stampede

Well here I am, as the song says, wasting my time in the waiting line. What in god's name can I do to pass the time for the next five bloody hours? WiFi hotspots are few and far between, those that are available are either private networks or open but extremely weak. sigh

    Nice job apple! Now people are getting hurt over this! All for the hype Mr. Jobs

  2. Robert says:

    Is this even a line for the iPhone? Looks like a PS3 line to me.

  3. Jody says:

    $100 laptops in Richmond?

  4. Correct. There's a funny story behind this photo. A Richmond VA school system was selling old academic-used iBooks for $50, which attracted hundreds of people. Those that came waited in line for hours, much like us today, and may actually urinated and defecated in their pants in order to stay in line. When the school open the gates it was literally a human stampede, with people trampling each other. Makes you proud, doesn't it? ;-)

  5. Hello there, just doing some browsing for my Richmond 4g site. Can't believe the amount of information out there. Not what I was looking for, but good site. Have a great day.
