What about the beeeees?

I don't even have a regular cell phone, so why would I want an iPhone? I bet you don't need one either.

NOEZ

[frippy.livejournal.com]

Oh craps, in my purchase of a cell phone (because I'm going to be moving out this summer), I FORGOT ABOUT THE BEEZ.

Re: NOEZ

And if the bees don't scare you, think of the NSA.

My husband was threatening to get me on for my birthday, and I barely answer my current phone!

The Iphone looks interesting, but they're saying the costs are much higher than you'd think, so there are probably lots of hidden charges. It's probably a real wallet-bleeder.

I use a cell phone a lot. If I was out of town more I would need a Crackberry or equivalent. An iphone looks like a reasonable alternative to a Crackberry.

My mom's always threatening me with one. I figure that if I'm not in my apartment, it means that I'm doing stuff, which means that I don't have time to talk on the phone. (Note: I am almost always not in the apartment.)

[sabotabby]

I <3 Apple, but their stuff is almost always more expensive than it needs to be.

[sabotabby]

I may have thought of getting a Crackberry—repeatedly—but I will resist.

I want one, but I also want ALL shiny new toys. I'm much like my father that way, in that if you were to put a little metal box with a big button that did random things in front of me I could probably happily push the button until the end of time. :)

[sabotabby]

Would it be a big red button?

*now thinking of marketing possibilities*

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

What would be the fun in it if it WEREN'T red? ;)

I find cell phones incredibly convenient but there's something about the iphone that's so flashy and slick that it makes me want to live in a cabin in the woods. Ok one with plumbing but still.

(My vision of simple living almost veered off and included me sitting by a fire singing "kumbaya" but I think that's because that particularly bit of imagery has lately seeped into my brain. As a corollary to the sabotabby-apperception corollary to Godwin's Law, regarding Kronstadt, I have noticed lately that the longer any set of simple-minded conservatives are mocking liberals, the closer the probability comes to 100% that someone will mention the song "kumbaya.")

Okay, I forget: What is the deal with the bees?

I love my cell phone in part because my unwanted call volume has dropped to nothing. Now that I got rid of my land line, I suffer no surveys, polls or bill collectors waking me at 8:00 AM, which used to happen quite a bit. - And I work second shift so this was quite irritating.

Mind you, my mother doesn't have my number.

One popular Peak Bee theory is that the bees are disappearing because the cell phones are screwing with their sense of direction. I've also heard that, scientifically speaking, this is utter fiction, but it's good apocalyptic fiction, and thus I will keep bringing it up.

I don't get a lot of telemarketers on my land line—just enough to make it fun when they ask if "Mr. or Mrs. [my last name] are there" and I get to respond, "They're DEAD."

[sabotabby]

Sign me up.

I held off quite some time before buying my iPod. I suspect I will wait much longer before getting an iPhone. It will certainly not be before Working Assets Wireless offers them.

I admit that I have used my cell's camera quite a bit; but I still insist that I am less interested in bells & whistles than durability. I want a cell you can play hacky sack with. Accordingly, I will also admit to being deeply tempted by this.

[billie0.livejournal.com]

I already have an ipod and a cell phone so I don't need an Iphone

[jamie-miller.livejournal.com]

No one needs a cell phone.

[sabotabby]

Indoor plumbing is awesome.

Re: Kumbaya. I'm not sure if it's a corollary to the sabotabby-apperception corollary* or a law in its own right. But I've noticed that too, and this must be codified and incorporated into intertubes discourse.


* Speaking of which, we need less unwieldy name for it. Maybe just the Kronstadt Corollary. Or the Trotsky-killed-people-too! Corollary (if you're an anarchist) or the STFU-Crusty-Punk Corollary (if you're a communist).

[sabotabby]

Admittedly, I want an iPod.

[sabotabby]

Your icon! Hee!

[sabotabby]

Fairly certain that I would drop that in the toilet and it wouldn't survive.

Wait. It's just like spam.

Phun Phacts about the new iPhone...

Another reason not to get one:

I remember when only doctors and drug dealers had pagers.

But clearly, they needed them.
