Huge Line of Job Applicants at AT&T Store, Thanks to iPhone?

By admin#IM, Tuesday, Jun 19, 2007 a 2:52 pm

And I thought only consumers would be lining up outside of AT&T stores. Apparently waves of job applicants are gearing up to snatch positions generated from all the iPhone buzz.

This image scares the hell out of me because it confirms that iPhone mania that we've all joked about may in fact turn out to be true. On Friday June 29, I and thousands of other consumers will standing in lines very similar to the one you see above, in order to get an iPhone. The thought that I may end up wasting my time in a long queue and coming home empty handed doesn't exactly sit well with me.

Can Anyone Kill iPhone?

By admin#IM, Monday, Jun 18, 2007 a 7:39 am

Whether iPhone becomes a huge success or a lukewarm seller remains to be seen. But it's a safe bet the product will achieve iconic status. When you look at the current handset landscape no clear challenger emerges, and that's going to present Verizon, Sprint, et al., with an enormous disadvantage and something to sweat over as iPhone's launch date looms.

Update: More June 29 Details Emerge, Here's Where the Fun Begins

By admin#IM, Friday, Jun 15, 2007 a 3:51 pm

Ok, so now more details are emerging on Apple and AT&T's luanch plans. Pay attention, because this is a bit on the strange side. Apparently AT&T stores will be closing around 4:30. Customers will actually be kicked out of stores at that time (that's no joke). Why, you ask? Because Apple has tightly managed initial iPhone fulfillment to stores so that shipments will arrive at AT&T Wireless stores between 4:30pm and 6:00opm. After 6:00pm the stores will reopen and will stay open unusually late (as late as midnight) to cope with iPhone demand. How bout that?

AT&T Willing to Spy on Customers, Stalin's Zombie Corpse Rolls Over

By admin#IM, Wednesday, Jun 13, 2007 a 6:59 pm

Here's something that will make your blood peculate. AT&T Senior VP, James W. Cicconi, says the company recently began working with movie studios and record labels to develop anti-piracy technology targeting offenders. Now, I'm all for copyright protection, in fact I am one of the few sick bastards that actually supports DRM (in tolerable form), but I draw the line when my privacy is sacrificed. I don't consume or traffic in narcotics, but that doesn't mean I would allow the police to enter my domicile every night to check under my bed for drugs.

In a perfect world, government would step in to intercede on our behalf. But in reality Uncle Sam will simply want a piece of the action. sigh
