Comments on: How stupid we people really are http://cogscanthink.blogsome.com/2007/06/30/how-stupid-we-people-really-are/ I'm a mere, tiny, insignificant cog in a whole clockwork of stupidity. I'm the tiny cog that wants to break free. Seriously.

Why all the Dead Like Me hype ? People like new things, and things from brands they trust. People like the underdog. Apple's iPhone, and Apple as well, have all of these elements, and eye candy too. The touch screen and interface and the sleekness are the selling points The hype will go away and people will discover any flaws and complain. Whining about a new product is kind of retarded. Of course it will be covered in the media, surely as the sun will rise in the morning. People aren't waiting in line because they think it's going to suck. Likewise, the media coverage of something people are excited about and waiting in line for is not unjust. I think it's worth noting that people waited in line for Star Wars Episode I, and we all know how that turned out. This could go either way. Also, Paris Hilton should die in fire. That is all.

There are so many devices out there that can do more and better." That's from 2001, a response to arrival of the iPod. “It doesn’t have a radio, no games, can’t be used as backup storage, can’t be addressed directly from the computer, is expensive.

We really do suck that much. I mean look at all the media coverage paris hilton is getting. Un-fricken-believable.

Artur, go to hell fanboy. Just because ONE app can use the keyboard in landscape does not make it a universal feature.

I'm very happy with my Treo 650, and it can do everything the iPhone does. The only part lacking is YouTube, but there may even be an app for that, I really couldn't care though. The difference, I'm not stuck with one carrier, and I've got a real keyboard. I don’t see the big deal either. I’m very happy with my Treo 650, and it can do everything the iPhone does.

The BBC even turned half of their site into an Apple shrine (I exaggerate slightly) yesterday! As a happy owner of a SonyEricsson p910i for nearly 3 years, and it wasn't even the best at the time, I can't see how everyone thinks this is such a big deal… I completely understand, why the hell has the phone/PDA had so much hype?
