Lines for iPad 2 Launch Begin as 'iJustin' Camps Out Once Again

[greytmom]

We are better than this, the readers that is.

Actually, some of us aren't much better. Take a look at some of these comments - lots of rage in the MacRumors crowd.

While he's in the Apple Store. . .

If he's such a huge fan of the products that he'd camp out five days in advance, I think he should apply for a job there. Then, he'd be guaranteed his iProduct and he wouldn't have to keep pitching tents. Oh, and as an aside, he might even be able to make more money than he's currently making working for a non-profit.

Nice

Must be nice to have so much time on your hands and still have money.

Wouldnt it be hilarious if noone ever gets in line behind him?
He would probably think to himself, ok, that was a waste of time...

hahahahaha.... I can picture it now.

man you made me laugh

Nope, he will probably brag to his parents how an internet site posted about him. "Look Mommy, they wrote a story about me and posted a picture of me. aren't you proud."

Check out the Rockaway, NJ Apple store if you want to see embarrassment. It's about the size of your average kitchen and dining room.

That's probably the exact same store that's in Syracuse, NY. It is by no means an "embarrassment". Apple Stores are almost always extremely well-kept and clean. It's not like there's a whole lot to maintain and organize.

Just because it's small, it's bad? Is that why America loves SUVs?

What a tool. This kid needs to get a life and grow up. Maybe the local news can catch a shot of his mommy dropping of some fruit snacks and diapers for him. What a joke. I hate these stories. This kid deserves less than zero attention for wasting everybody's time with his stupid crap.

Not only do you A) seem awkwardly extremely angry, B) I like fruit snacks - don't hate.

He did this last year too. Congrats everyone here on making fun of someone with a disability.

 

[ppilone]

He has ONE just ONE Friend on Facebook and 22 Follower on Twitter, that's sad...

That reference is totally awesome.

If your a big fan of something working in retail is not where you want to be. Better to keep the mystery alive.

Geez. 4 whole days of waiting outside an Apple store? Can someone cut in front of him and film his reaction?

 

[philr5150]

My point is there is more then enouh to call it 2.0. I don't know what more they could have done to make you happy other then put more storage in it, which is pricey and they wanted to keep it at the same price.

Really, I don't care. I just think hanging a 2.0 moniker on it is unwarranted. From a user experience perspective, I really don't think you're going to see a lot of difference until hard-core FPS 3D games come out - Doom3 as an example.

Retina display would make it 2.0. More storage. iOS 5 -on it-. THAT makes it 2.0 worthy.

I wish I knew someone in Dallas who liked Camping, Tacobell, Laxitives and Porta-Johns...

 

[philr5150]

Not making fun of him because he's disabled. Making fun of him because he thinks he's special and/or cool for camping outside a store for 4 days for a new release electronic device.

 

[blackpond]

Don't be so hard on the guy. His iPad2 will be better than yours.

 

[hfletcher]

Live video streaming... Great, get to watch a man in a tent for 4 days!

iJustin NOT

At first all I saw was "iJustin" in the headline and thought "Oh no, not a Justin Bieber app!" but then I realized who it REALLY was and then said to myself "Oh no, it's much WORSE than I originally thought!"

 

[BillyBobBongo]

Dammit, I thought the thread title said iJustine...I was looking forward to blonde ladies and all I got was a spotty geek. I feel robbed!

There was a picture last week on verydemotivational of an iPad 2 with Garage Band. The caption - "Thanks Apple - making a new Justin Beiber every week".

 

[marksman]

I wonder if anyone camped out for the Xoom.

 

[philr5150]

There's an app for that.

Will SteveJ let you "love" your iPad? Or does it have to be jailbroken?

 

[deus_ex_machina]

iJustin
Justin Bieber
Justin Timberlake

Too much fail in justin

To be fair, the latter two are actually successful.

 

[Grouchy Bob]

This thread has consumed 30 minutes of my life which I'll never get back.

 

[RawBert]

I wonder if he's a member of MacRumors: Forums.

 

[marksman]

By the way since when is liking apple products a disability?

 

[MacDawg]

I wonder if he's a member of MacRumors: Forums.

Yes, he is and has posted in this thread already
