You've got Coleco and Atari? Yeah, that's plenty. No need for a dedicated game system yet.

Your school has all Apple equipment and you're pissed it doesn't work? I didn't know kids in Beverly Hills cared that much. You'd probably be much happier with the 100 150 whatever catchy number it's up to at this point laptop per child. They work. Just wind and go.

I'm not trying to be funny here... but I've always felt like facebook is the vista of social sites. Again, I'm not trying to be funny, but you've hit the nail on the head with all the warnings. And when you get right down to it, what in the hell are you supposed do on facebook anyway? Answer: poke people. It's really not too much good for anything else. Poking people is the easiest thing to do and you get the least warning messages so everybody does it. You've got to do something so people might as well poke. Great app. Definitely worth billions of dollars.

@anyone, perhaps I didn't explain myself well enough. I suppose I could have another complaint about AT&T stores and the virtual cone of silence that they create. It is a well known fact that AT&T has spent millions on sound baffling and dampening for stores for, I believe, just this purpose. But I'm not blaming AT&T and I'm not blaming me, or anyone else who bought the iPhone and has a complaint or a problem associated with it, or any other product for that matter. "You're stupid, you bought it, I only wish I had the cash to by one myself but I'm too broke", might work for you, but I like to look at problems differently. I will tell you this, I did not try out MY iPhone in the store. No body can. The AT&T display models are activated and you can call out on them. You can't take them in your car with you, you can't take them into a loud shopping center and you can't take them into a parking lot. But you can listen to the ringer in the store.

Yes, tc3, I have been heard by Apple and granted my wish. Consider this complaint resolved. Apple has abandoned the wet grass and replaced it with something much more akin to a Vista ripoff as I had anticipated. I'm a happy camper.

Believe it or not, Apple's hypePhone comes really close to solving your problems, tc3. Visual Voicemail lets you see a list of who left voicemails for you. You can see who left voicemails for you so you can pick and choose to listen to whatever ones you want based on the name or number of the person who left the voicemail.

Do not let them tell you otherwise. I wouldn't be surprised if they had been shown the video before. You are the customer. You are always right. Any business worth their salt realizes that and will do everything to accommodate you.

Samantha said: [quote]So you're suggesting we just take away any data collection they have?[/quote] I'm suggesting a consumer has a right to privacy.

Samantha said: [quote]Or they really just want to have your phone number on file for their internal data collection system. [/quote] Isn't that the point of the complaint? @Samantha, are you suggesting we setup a fake email address specifically for purchases like this or are you saying just give a fake email address on the spot? Either way, bottom line, notquiteleet is right. Giving an email address cannot prove who you are or that you are tied to the credit card or accompanying discount either. The request for an email is certainly no security measure. The fact that you suggest either take five minutes to setup a fake email or give them a fake email on the spot is proof enough that this is an absolute security joke. All he wanted was a receipt and he has to turn over personal information like email? It's unjustifiable and unexplainable other than to gather more personal data for marketing. And shouldn't consumers be able to keep at least something private?

Agreed, this will just flat out drive you nuts sometimes. You see the USB symbol that's supposed to mean "this side up" but you just don't trust it and you don't want to break something. So, you flip. And fumble. And flip back. Apple really tries to muck you up by putting the Apple logo on the bottom of the USB plug. Your eye catches that flashy logo and you can't resist thinking "this side up". After all, who puts logos on the bottom of things? I speak from experience when I say your frustration with yourself grows exponentially each time you fall for the slick trick.

Don't forget, this is a repair. The manager in the video is trying to pass off a crappy repair as part of the design. Imagine your car t-boned. You take it to the repair shop and they fix it. The door doesn't shut quite right. This happens all the time in the real non-Apple Store world. You take your car back and tell them about it. They fix it again and it's still not right. In fact, you take it back three times and every time, the door still doesn't shut right. It shuts and water probably won't get in the car, but it just doesn't look right. The manager then points to every other car on the lot and tells you, "All of them look like this. Everyone of these has a bent door on it. It's within technical specs and you'll never find one that's not bent."

Dude, it's wet grass not "leaves". Don't distort the facts. Leaves would probably be OK.

Apple wants you to remove your antenna from your car. That is exactly why they sell this particular product both online and at the brick and mortar Apple stores. Once you take your antenna off, you're way less likely to put it back on and then . . . nothing but iTunes, all day, every day.

I was using the term "pic" loosely. IMHO, videos are worse. Posting a video of you unboxing your product is somewhere just below posting a video of a family vacation on a public site and just above posting a video of you having sex with your wife on a public site. Once you've seen one vacation video, or a video of one person having sex with their wife, you've seen them all. Just like a video of you opening your new macbook pro. Unless of course the video shows you dismayed at the fact that the machine didn't ship with leopard. That might be worth watching.

I'm afraid this will only get worse as people pay ungodly amounts for the iphone. If someone pays over $600.00 total for a phone, they will think they should be able to talk on it wherever and whenever they want. They will just be dying for people to call during meetings so they can interrupt and have an excuse to display the sleekness.
