Insanity...stupidity..follow the herd mentality...you name it that is the picture of it

ibglowin · May 22, 2008, 01:04 PM

Lemmings?

gkarris · May 22, 2008, 01:06 PM

Probably like the clubs, museums, and restaurants around here in Chicago - waiting to get in?

The store is probably at maximum occupancy - it is a popular attraction.

Waiting for toilet.

g8bo · May 22, 2008, 01:12 PM

maybe they all just want to ask the salesman: "is it (3G iphone) here yet?"

LowMach · May 22, 2008, 01:18 PM

OMG its time!

3G Linky

Aravintht · May 22, 2008, 01:36 PM

Is the line growing, they posted a third picture that looks like the line is getting longer.

Craziness, if this is not for the iPhone and just waiting to get into the Apple store, I can't wait to see what the iPhone line looks like.

HAHA this is great!!! people are so stupid.

LowMach · May 22, 2008, 02:32 PM

the stock is dropping now.

rumors are that the 3g iphone will have a longer delay of 6 weeks more than expected.

meagain · May 22, 2008, 02:58 PM

LowMac - Come on. Where did you read that - post the link.

(sigh)

Roy Hobbs · May 22, 2008, 03:14 PM

Probably another concert, like the Linkin Park one awhile back

Chrisrokc · May 22, 2008, 03:16 PM

I think he means the iphone won't be out there for sell when this is all said and done for 6 weeks total.

Not sure how good of a plan that is for Apple. Today their stock is down 2+. Who knows, I was reading some other forums and today is the last day to return Iphones bought from the last day. Will Apple have something for us tomorrow? Doubt it, but you never know.

whom?

lindsayanng · May 22, 2008, 03:31 PM

apple stock is actually down 3.86 points right now, but its not all that bad, wouldnt be a bad time to buy because we all know it could jump right back up once the iphone is put out. Apple doesnt seem to piss people off that often, and owning their stock would probably be a rollercoaster because they way they put things out and how they make people wait, but it will generally hold its value well without much risk AND could make you a few pennys. Just my input though from a somewhat novice stock trader

There are people on the engagdet comment page saying they are in that improv group and they had the last meet last week. They didn't recieve emails for a meet this week so it is doubtful that it is them.

I read the opposite. I read people received emails for this particular event.

I don't see this. I just skimmed through the hole comment list. Link? Or quote?

Quote:

I don't think it's Improv Everywhere. I'm on the agent list and the last event they did was last friday.

Maybe some other group?

Quote:

Not Improv Everywhere. I live in NY and take part in their brilliance. If something was going down i would have got the email but seems right up their alley.

Those are the only two Improv Everywhere members that posted. Both said it is not them.

Any proof of this bold claim or did you make it up out of whole cloth?
