iPhone people snobbery?

I would be happy to write that app for you Evan... I'm just not sure you can afford it

 

Dont you know the iphone can do anything?

I dont own an iphone. I have a pocketPC.

 

I keep the Apps I have restricted to what I do - geography, meteorology, GPS, iPod, decibel meter and a few others. No need to be snobbish, the iPhone is a very effective tool - the prestige is in what you do with it, not that you have an iPhone. The case is an extended battery pack. The iPhone normally rests in the center console, so is hands-free for driving and stays fully charged.

 

There's a fart app??? You mean, you touch the icon and the phone farts??? Is there a chemical canister to release the smell? Hey, I think you are justified in acting like a snob if you have a telephone that farts! :rockon:

I don't have an iPhone. My phone doesn't even take pictures. It just makes phone calls, and it's always off unless I want to make a call while I'm away from home, and that happens half a dozen times a year, mostly while I'm traveling. Otherwise it sits in my car in case of emergencies.

But I'm an EV snob, and proud of it!

 

I was thinking about an iPhone. My daughter dropped the 1st one several times and it didn't fix itself, and lost her 2nd one. Why didn't it find its way home? Clearly an inferior product.

 

Oh bunny, just when I thought the BlackBerry would result in the end of civilization

 

Apparently iPhone people aren't funny.

 

It has. Used to be, people on the street would talk to each other. Now everybody's talking to themselves, avoiding eye contact, their thumbs tapping away on tiny screens, and just plain acting crazy. That's not civilised. It's insane.

 

Imagine if 60-70 years ago, a person tried walking down a busy sidewalk - or even better, right in to the street like the CrackBerry person I just about nailed at lunch today - with a tiny thing having buttons, the behavior as you described

They would have grabbed him, thrown him into an insane asylum, and performed a prefrontal lobotomy or transorbital lobotomy

problem solved!

 

And now they're all closed. The demented just wander the streets, blending right in. I've woken up in a Twilight Zone episode, yet everyone insists it's reality. :crazy:

 

Yeah, but now that telephones can fart we're on the way back to sanity. Everything's going to be fine. Instead of thumbing their Blackberries or talking into their phones in public, people are going to start running their iPhone fart apps everywhere they go. The economy will recover, bin Laden will turn himself in, the terrorists will all go into psychoanalysis, Arabs and Israelis will start kissing in the streets, the Dow will shoot up to 25,000, everyone will let out a collective sigh of relief, and nobody will ever be unhappy again. Ahhhhh!

 

You know what I like best about my iPhone? I really dislike electronic toys, but when going on a trip, I need a camera to take pictures, a PDA to take notes and figure out my schedule, an iPod because it's the most compact music player, and a phone for obvious reasons. So rather than carry a camera, a PDA, an iPod, and a phone like I used to, I just grab one device rather than four, plus it lets me read news while I'm waiting for a plane/doctor/etc., and plays Scrabble if I'm done reading the news.

 

And it farts, too. Don't forget that it farts. How did we ever live without telephones that fart?

 

*guys, this is meant in jest, but there are enough folks out there that consider Prius people snobs...I don't wanna be a double snob. We each choose what we choose for our own reasons and the should be no greater expectations beyond that.

I appreciate the humor in this. I agree too many people are taking themselves way too seriously. We need to be careful, the next thing you know we are going to have people telling us the small plastic covers on the wheels don't look cool and need to be removed. What next? Felt lined glove boxes?

 

I don't have any of the fart apps. However, I do have iCatchall, which, along with the two dozen or so functions it has, will Rickroll me whenever I feel the need to be Rickrolled.

 

Just how tall are you?
