New Apple Lust Objects

my iphone 3g did the overheating thing for the first time ever this weekend

i haven't gotten any overheating problems yet? but i've also got mine in a case 94/7, so maybe i just don't notice it.

naw it pops up w/a big unfriendly looking screen letting you know, so you'd notice.

this is the internet so rlly s1ocki "brag about having a gf with an iphone" would have sufficed

also maxs party is pretty dope imho

might be worth it for the flames imo

steve jobs is down here handing out apple newton keychains btw xpost

tasty

oh shit guys i heard max's parents are coming back from the lake a day early.

(fyi theyre not actually coming back early but were spreading that rumor so that slocki wont come)

oh man i wish id known that i just told steve wozniak to put his pants back on before they got here

you should always tell Steve Wozniak to put his pants back on

let the man be free

ugh you gave it a nickname

i don't recall seeing those flames on mine

hey guys, i heard there was a little shindig goin on. what's the "411"?

There's a party celebrating low-cost unibody mac pros and my death. It's hotter then an iphone 3gs!

hahahahaa

count me in gentlemen! i'll be over as soon as i finish shaving my back

Steve Wozniak will shave it for you, fwiw

were not CELEBRATING dan selzers death fyi, were MOURNING HIS LIFE in a CELEBRATORY fashion

that isnt what the invitations said tbf

wait a minute...

I'M STILL ALIVE!

praise the lord.

I'll live to use my Apple products for another day.

But not an iPhone till it comes to Verizon.

ok so the fact that my 6 week old 3gs is crashing like a motherfucker (without the heat warning btw) is turning this particlular mac evangelist into a kind of 100% hater. GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER dudes that i keep giving too much money to.

Sorry to hear it -- crossed fingers, so far mine's been going fine.

I thought this revive was going to be about those persistent tablet rumors for September.

The FT's reporting them now, which gives them a bit of cred, like.

ok this piece of shit is just straight up broken. thx apple, glad i replaced my perfectly functional 4 year old phone with your fancy "cant answer calls from my mom to find out why you are calling me multiple times while my dad recuperates from surgery" phone plan.

so so pissed off right now.

xposts

off to use the fancy mobile technology that involves trying to find a fucking payphone.

ok everythings fine, still, apple can eat shit for this one.

Shit happens;

FUCK OFF TABLET I AM NOT A DOCTOR GIVE US AN 11" LAPTOP U FUCKS

seriously

apple are retarded, but I don't think they are retarded enough to release a tablet

unless it's marketed as an entertainment device.

I would love a tablet as a reading device, but would love it more with a keyboard for note taking as an adjunct to a full size computer.

u r pt of the problem

a tablet with a keyboard aka a laptop?

I'm definitely curious to see what Apple do in this area. You kinda think they would have made a tablet by know, but the existence of the MacBook Air suggests to me they have gone as small as they want to with a physically keyboard (and it also demonstrates that they fundamentally do not get the ultra-portable btw).

And I want puppies and unicorns and rainbows.

Would probably go for a tablet. Inkwell does pretty good with even my handwriting so they have the chops there. Will definitely be in the market for the stand and keyboard accessories, though.

ok cozen is right, you are part of the problem. ; )

i think they'll do the tablet and promote it like a big iPod touch. Rumors say it may have verizon internet but not voice, so you can walk around with this thing, watch movies on it while commuting, use it for gps, jot notes in it, check email etc, just not use it for serious work.

excuse me if I say tht sounds shit

I think it sounds great; browsing on the phone/touch sucks, as does reading pdfs, writing emails longer than a sentence. Though I'm not sure how they'll making data entry a pleasure on a tablet-sized console either.

i'd like a computer that sat on top of a desk... do u think they'll come out with one?

Umm. I write a shitload on my iPhone -- including this, right now -- and yeh, although it's not perfect, I can't see how it could be any better given the size of the thing.

I'm assuming the tablet would be substantially bigger, in which case I'd be just as well with my trusty 12" PowerBook, no? Basically: anything even fractionally bigger than my iPhone isn't something practical to keep in a pocket; if it has to go in my bag, it might as well be a laptop.

lol at putting a tablet computer in yr pocket

that's a big-ass pocket

all the tablet rumors i've heard have seemed like wishful thinking or the pronouncements of known and reliably wrong commentators. the FT is not a reliable source. if it was the WSJ or NYT then maybe.
