Damn you guys must have really offended Justin this time. I went to his twitter to check out what he is doing but it says that his Twitter is now protected..

Just hope his girlfriend is there with him tonight so he is not too lonely.

ordering from apple.com first thing when I wake up tomorrow.

No line and no hassle.
Sure, I'll have to wait until Monday or Tuesday for it to arrive at my house, but that's nothing lol :)

or you get your order in after they run out of their stock and you have to wait 3-4 months to get it...

Funny that MR would use Justin's tent as the picture after the response to that thread. That's likely why this thread has more negatives than positives.

OK...i REALLY don't get it.

WTF would anyone wait overnight in line for a consumer product that:
A. will be made in the millions?
B. will be available on-line tomorrow to be received in a couple of days?
C. whose hype is being manipulated by Apple's extraordinary sales/marketing team?

I didn't get this with the iphone 3/4 and ipad 1.

Really laughable. :p

And so the madness begins. I never really understand waiting in line just to be the first to have a new tech product, but good luck to those camping out.

I guess you've never been to the USSR or the first 10 years of exUSSR where there were lines for light bulbs and toilet paper. And no, that was not iToilet iPaper, just your ordinary single layer cardboard-gray hard paper in rolls.

The lines for iThings are to me reminiscent to those old, hardly good, times.

I'm not trying to stir up the hornet's nest, but why in the world is MacRumors putting up that Justin dude's tent picture again?

Did anyone read the comments and direction in which that "news" story took? I know that I do not run this site. MacRumors is free to do as they please, but for me personally, I don't like to visit sites that promote guys that stand in lines for 4 days to get an ipad....especially when so many people are out of work and have fallen on hard times.

Again, I ask is this really news? I would have posted in that particular thread, but it had to be closed down due to the incendiary nature of the posts.

Unless iJustin creates the next iPad or cures cancer...I really don't care to hear about him ever again.

Does it matter whose tent it is? :confused:

Those who have been insulting iJustin should go get bottles of water. All that flaming must have gotten them pretty dried out there.

To me, waiting in line for the iPad 2 isn't really about being the first to have a new tech product. With my luck, it was like the original iPad, I chose to not wait in line early, and was sold out in all the Apple stores around my area, and I had to wait 45 days before I finally got mine.

It was supposed to be a birthday present for my wife, which ended up about 40 days late. This year, I am content on giving her birthday present on time. I can't last on charm and witty forever... At least not two years in a row.

Haven't you ever heard the rule...never buy your girlfriend/wife something that plugs in? Big mistake!! Haha. Had to say it but I'm sure she'll love it and hopefully she doesn't love it so much that she is reading this thread and the surprise is ruined!!!

Uhh, because he's an internet celebrity. :D

So what? I don't even know this lady Gaga is, let alone that Justin Bieber kid. I am happy to have never ever heard any of the songs they kind of sing. I've never heard names of some less known "celebrities" of these days, because they don't pop into my search results obnoxiously. The internets are full of them, and I don't give a piece of excrement.

I think the state of someone being a celebrity or not is within the mind of observer.
