Check out all the personal attacks....What have they got to do with the product? Explain the nasty zeal to me....I've not seen anything like it.

So? You can attack a person without it being racist. Just because he is black, and someone criticizes him, or in any way attacks him, does not constitute racism. If people think his music sucks, they are obviously free to comment on that. It doesn't make them a racist. Sheesh.
 
I wonder if Will got his money up front on this deal, for the use of his name? Surely he was smart enough not to invest his own cash in this?

Criticize the product all you like....I've seen the interview on Engadget and personally it's not for me...But that's not the issue. It's the personal attacks and the mentality reminiscent of a pack of hyenas tearing away at a downed antelope.....Do you really want to be part of that?

I'm quite disgusted at what I've seen in this and the other thread. There's some seriously questionable vitriol at work here and it's just coming across as a load of entitled rich white kids piling in.

Lol at "rich white kids." The only person here being racist is you, and you are the one running around crying "racism." Get a new cause.

A white middle class casual racist with an ingrained sense of entitlement??

This thread is really showing the true demographic of MacRumors. It's really quite embarrassing.

Does the work owe you something??? You really coming across as someone exceptionally needy. In my professional opinion, move out of your mums house and experience the real world. Its not all about stereotyping.

This product, branding asidem=, is FUGLY!. And a total rip off.
 
The 4/4S version looks stupid but I'm actually pretty interested in the iPhone 5 version to replace my point and shoot. If only it had a hot shoe or PC port for external flash. And I don't really trust products made by celebrities. I hope Nikon and canon hop on this trend soon!!

Well said.

I had the outdated image of Apple/Mac users being cool, visionary hippy people.

Man that's long gone.

Today it's entitled iPhone people who walk around gabbing nonstop on their phones or texting like zombies, oblivious to people they're about to crash into and traffic around them as they arrogantly march into busy intersections without looking.

These are people who have never had an original idea in their heads their whole lives and rush to crush any inventiveness they perceive in others - unless that idea comes from the almighty Apple Inc.

Of course it's impossible to be the company with the biggest market cap, and remain "alternative".

So, what is the new go-to device for cool, visionary hippy people? The one that hardly anyone else buys?

Enjoy your LOLs.

Apparently, we have to like anyone who isnt white and praise everything they do. Also anyone disabled is automatically lovely and talented.

My opinion of his music being terrible, the way he spells his name being incredibly pretentious and his design skills as non existent are therefore null and void.
 
You don't have to like everything, but the amount of vitriol against the product and will.i.am is absurd. People coming out to post the same sort of lame attempts at puns is annoying and calling the man names and addressing him not by his chosen professional pseudonym, the claims of "ghettoness" and nerdy superiority reeks of racism. All of this is over a phone ACCESSORY you don't have to buy. There's many iPhone accessories but this is chosen for the most uncomfortable vitriol simply because of the designer involved. Don't get me started on the juvenile one liner criticisms of his musical talent who have no basis here as well.

When did MR turn into reddit?

Or....you could just stick to the subject of the thread and leave all the personal stuff out of it.

I know....Crazy idea.

P.S. Nice move bringing disabled people into it as well....I thought we'd scraped the bottom of the barrel but no!

The will.i.wont jokes are lame and there have been a tiny handful of nasty remarks from idiots.

However, people you you going around claiming racism! racism! are part of the problem. I hadn't even thought about race until you and your fellow PC knights started screaming we were all racist. We would have happily ignored the few idiots and gone on lamenting this abomination of a product and the talentless man behind it.

Your welcome to not agree with the majority view but to start whining about race? its pathetic.

Oh please....We both know that's not true:

Post number 6, page 1: "Will.i'm not surprised.Plastic and bling gold..."

Post 11, page 1: "How thoroughly un-tacky. Oh wait, I'm wrong. Anyone seen "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka!" where all the "gangsters" start dying of "over-gold". I'm hoping this starts with the bling crowd soon..."

Post 17, page 1: "You know what other ghetto device has a slide out keyboard?

The sidekick. "

I could keep going but....You get the point right?
