I have a simple auto-refresh script, every 61 seconds...

I slapped it on my Desktop as refresh.html, hit it with Safari, and will sit here till I pass out. or get bored. Whichever comes first.

Now program it to set off an alarm when the site changes and you'll be good to go.
 
do you have to have an apple id or itunes account to pre order the iphone?

can you use a mobile me account?

also, if you pre order online can you pick it up in store on the 24th?

You do not need an Apple ID or iTunes account to pre-order the iPhone 4.

You can use any valid e-mail account as your contact e-mail address.

You can pre-order online at Apple.com for in-store pickup on the 24th.

Come to think of it, I've always been logged in the Apple.com website so they might already have the associated iTunes account information.

You can download iTunes right now on any computer and sign up for an account just to make sure but you will have to provide your credit card information.

Yes, I'm so sure. It's all on me. My bad. Apple, with entire server farms, multiple redundant OC-48s and OC-3s from multiple ISPs. They are no match for 20 lines of javascript. Mwa-ha-ha-ha....:rolleyes:

You do realize this is no different that hitting Refresh every minute, right?

Besides, who do you think they are -- AT&T?

If I PM you my phone number, will you send me a text message when either AT&T or Apple is up for pre-orders? :D
