Last night I waited all night to get the new iPhone 3G in Canada and I got quoted all over the Canadian media. The quote?
Kyle McInnes, 24, who works as editor-in-chief of QuicklyBored.com, had the third spot in line. “It’s the pinnacle in mobile entertainment,” he said. “It’s pornography for gadget whores.”
NB: My brother is so petty and jealous of my overnight iPhone fame all he said when he saw me on TV was, “That quote doesn’t make sense. Whores don’t want pornography.”
But fuck him because The National Post used it as their article title.
I hate my iPhone.
1- my iTunes won’t recongize it.
2- I can’t send email from it because it doesn’t recognize my company’s SMTP.
3- it’s big
4- the batteries die too fast
I think the simile holds up, at least regarding the Waiting in line for the gadget, but it does feel a bit off too and I think it’s this “gadget-whore” phrase. Does a gadget-whore hang around comp usa or the sharper image trying to tempt digital cameras or massage chairs into paying for…interface? No, that’s ridiculous. This usage of whore is meant as a synonym for slut. So what is really meant by gadget-whore is something like a gadget-glutton. I think more appropriate would be “gadget-john”.
fuck macintosh, ibooks, ipods, iphone. elitist hipster bullshit!
elitist hipster bullshit? They’re just computers dude…… computers that work.
Yeah like computers that work for the NWO, more like[nervous laugh].
Usurp!
I’m getting a free iTouch by buying a Mac. I don’t know how to use it or even really know what it does. I can barely use a cell phone and have never sent a text message in my life. I do know that pay phones went up to .50 cents though and that’s bullshit!
… and i can”t believe you didn’t give streetcarnage.com a shout out to the Canadian press! Maybe that’s why your brother was pissey!
itouch isnt a cell phone mister
What is ‘iPhone’?
burn on your brother!
