Apple Blocking Out Vacations for October 14th iPhone Launch?

If the phone comes out on the 14th, then it should be available to preorder the day of the announcement or at the very latest a few days afterwards.
With the rumor of constraints in the pipeline there may not be a pre-order. Just on a first come-first served basis.
The covers everything including the people with out a degree.
People with a degree the number has always been lower. Also you have to factor in do they have a job in their respective field.
uh, no theyre not.
unemployment rate for college grads is around 4.6% right now, and that's not counting the underemployed. i watch a ton of cnbc so i know all the employment statistics fairly well.
additionally, filtering out certain majors and specializations to get to a low percentage of unemployment makes your argument pretty silly. the majority of college grads do not have PHDs nor engineering degrees.

Omg. Get over it.
In other news....
Unemployment is down but iPhone 5 is coming!
And of course the initial buyers get the faulty ones with the crappy antennae like the iphone4 and then spend months on the forums whinging
Your response is so naieve it's so sad. There is no such thing as everyone having a job at all time except in lala land. Some people have disabilities (temporary or permanent), others chose not to work, and there are many other reasons why not everyone is working.
They should just block out vacation days for the rest of the year. With so much pent-up demand for finally getting a new phone, its going to be a madhouse to get one. Can just imagine lines everyday as people expect new shipments. I jsut hope they allow online pre-orders again so I can get mine without too much difficulty 
He's not being naive. The unemployment rate only factors in people who are actively looking for work.
In other news, I can't wait for the iPhone 5.

I take this as evidence of what I assumed might happen...in an effort to avoid a repeat of the MobileMe launch, Apple will rollout iCloud on the 10th, a few days before the launch of the iPhone 5 (14th). This will give them a few days to focus on it while people begin using the service. Then by the 14th they'll be ready to focus on the iPhone 5 launch.

Don't know if this is just a sale or if it won't be available after Oct. 3rd. It's from Telus Canada.
Because after October 3rd the sale ends, right? Also, Apple stops selling them and a more powerful phone at the same price hits the market. Clever, TC.

Since nobody is staying on the topic at hand, I am changing the topic to pizza. I love me some thick crust pie. How about you?

You also have to keep in mind Germany's economy is about the size of New York City metro + California. Large economy for its size, and I like Germany quite a bit, but you are measuring apples to oranges.
Bottom line: There are many parts in the U.S that are doing very well (better than Germany), and others that are doing poorly. It is a very large country that has pockets of pain, and pockets of pleasure.
Otherwise, excited to see the new phone. If its a 4s, I'll likely keep my 3 G unless something impressive pops up.
My Apple store is in The Woodlands Mall, and there was no camping allowed on mall property whatsoever per the Mall, and The Woodlands Township I'm sure. I also heard similar stories for other Malls around the Houston area. Your best bet is to congregate with everyone else at a nearby site, and monitor the proper mall entrance until the time is ready. After enough people showed up, and with proper police escort, they should let you line up outside.
People wouldn't camp out if they knew they could just walk in like any other day and be out within 5 minutes with a phone. Launch days are obviously different. Very excited for this!
