Plus, linking to a Nexus S "line" that the photographer admits was posed? The long lines for the latest Apple release are an indictment of the Apple fanbase.

The long lines for the latest Apple release are an indictment of the Apple fanbase. They should never been seen as a benefit of the platform.
I see the same thing about the endless gloating about Apple profit. "Hey everybody, look at how much I overpaid! I surely picked the right horse to back!" It's a bit incredible.
- MrScruff 16y agoAre you seriously trying to suggest that the fact that apple makes highly desirable devices that people are prepared to pay more for is a negative?
- ergo98 16y agoNo. I'm suggesting that the media manipulation is a negative. That Apple customers actually haven't caught onto this is yet another negative. The modern world is amazingly capable of huge feats of fulfillment without demanding that the hordes line up for the cameras at 5am. That practice is a ridiculous anachronism.
- MrScruff 16y agoYou're over thinking it. The people who line up at 5am are doing it because for them it's amusing to be involved in the event, not because they're victims of mass hysteria. Sure, you or I might fine it strange that people do this but so what? What you've written smacks of the tired depiction of Apple customers as marketing victims.
