Seriously, what's the fascination with being first to get an iWhatever? It's not just this dude either. It's not like getting yours first means that you'll get a special edition or you get some kind of special recognition. The dude behind you that gets it 2 minutes later has the same device. Concert & sports tickets are a different animal, because your place in line determines where your seats will be. But I don't understand this phenomenon when it comes to identical gadgets.

Just think! All of those Apple store employees gleefully clapping at you while you receive your coveted iDevice. It makes 4 days of camping out in front of the store all worthwhile. :rolleyes:
 
I misread this iJustine as in ijustine.com... boy was I surprised when I did eventually scroll down.. as others have previously pointed out, he is definitely is not her.
 
Please someone buy a blow-horn, a real one that the police use, and go down there and yell at him. Say around Midnight to 4AM.
 
What are the chances that iJustin and #2 in line hook up?:

If the tent's rockin don't come knockin.
 
Well from the comments made by some on this forum, I'm sure there will be campers waiting for Motorola's tablet or Samsung's.

The ipad 2 will still be the first duo core shipped in large volumes though.

Dude, you really make me wish that this was up here in Pittsburgh instead...I would totally do it!

Does anyone want to hook me up with round trip tickets? I'll fly down there just to do it and fly home.
 
I hope the lines aren't too bad. I'd love to be using one that night, and getting in line around noon-2PM friday would be about the earliest I'd go.

I have to work all day Friday and am hoping to pick one op on Saturday.. I just want the wifi middle model.. hopefully it isn't as popular.
 
Whatever gets him out of the house and use his camping equipment.

It is coming this Friday which means his wait for iPhone 4 was longer as it was an entire week if I recall.

Nintendo 3DS is coming out later this month in the U.S.A. and I can see some crazy lines for that one too. I plan to wait on that and get the Sony NGP instead. I expect long lines for either device. Pre-order FTW! I never really want to participate in this type of launch day stuff. I have bad experiences with Black Friday most of the time. It is cool to socialize and get some media attention for it, but it really isn't worth the wait most of the time.

But hey, whatever gets people off. Something to hype them up.
 
He posted on twitter than the number 2 person in line is already there and is only there to sell the spot to someone later... I honestly think that might be worse than waiting to buy it haha

LOL. I was in line the morning of the iPhone 4 launch and everyone was annoyed at the Apple store employees running out of the store cheering and high-fiving everyone. It was so corny, and we just wanted to get the phone and get the hell out of there.

What kind of idiot would buy a place in line when you can go get it from several different stores on the same day?
 
I say the mods just tear down this entire thread so he doesn't get the attention. Just ignore the whole thing, it's not really all that important anyways...or just move it to Page 2.

Agreed, page 2. How is this news at all? This isn't an important rumor or even a detail for a major product launch. This is the second. MR didn't cover anyone waiting inline for the new nanos (which there were 2 or 3), why this guy?
 
Well I suppose this is what you get with no pre-orders.

I hate waiting in line outside the Apple store for anything. Mine is inside of a mall so you have people walking by all day, and you have mall security trying to keep the other stores doors clear it is always a mess of people.

At least with the iPad we don't have to depend on AT&T or Verizon to do the activation.

I guess Apple will get what they want tons of pictures of people in line.
 
I don't think anyone HATES the guy (though I could be wrong). I think most people are puzzled as to why anyone would give this guy free publicity over and over again for doing nothing constructive or meaningful. Camping out for a week to fork over money for a gadget just doesn't seem worthy of the attention...

puzzled? It's called The Achievement of The American Dream! :D

In the great words of Dire Straits...

That ain't working, that's the way you do it
Money for nothing and your chicks for free​

Lately, that's become the only American Way. That and, of course, Wall Street :mad:

cheers!
 
Ok, so he's missing a few screws upstairs. That explains the weird look and strange behavior. ...But why is this front page MR news??? :confused:

At least the mean posts were entertaining. :)
 
I gotta give him props, not because what he's doing (spening tax payer money on a new iPad) but continuing to be proud of it after 400 dislikes on MR alone, I'd have given up a long time ago, go Justin! No really, go....

LOL BEST PART OF THE ARTICLE. The kids on these forums get so mean, over something they don't care about.:rolleyes:
 
Why doesnt he put up a few ads on his website..???

He could probably make enough to buy an iPad 2. No telling how many hits he has gotten from it being on the front page of MacRumors.
