The Insomniac's Submersible!

Because:

1) I'm up abnormally late at night.
2) I needed a place to post this picture I found on LiveJournal. Seriously, it's like the coolest thing ever.

I'm going to MacWorld in the morning! I'll get to stand close to an iPhone and not be able to afford one when it comes out in June!

    I mean, everyone who watched Quantum Leap knows that he was bound to leap only within his own lifetime, but it's still a nice picture.

    Ugh. Anyone who's too young to know Quantum Leap, just shut up.

    I don't know about Quantum Leap (might not be too young, just never heard of it before), so I'll make no comment on that picture, but I would like to ask... What's an iPhone?

    I mean, obviously it's some kind of phone. Pre-emptive strike on that sarcastic answer, fools! I want to know about features and the like.

    Wasn't there an episode of Quantum Leap where he figured out when he died, and tried to prevent it?

    Oh man that's amazing! I only remember a couple episodes of Quantum Leap. There was one where he met a woman also leaping into people who had some crazy invisible lady telling her what to do, except while he tried to fix lives, she was trying to ruin lives. It was crazy!

    iPhone info: www.apple.com

    Quantum leap: Badassery!

    That show ruled.

    Scary thought for the old people in here:

    Those born on or before 1989 can now buy tobacco and star in pornography.

    I FEEL SO OLD.

    Holy shit, dude, my baby brother was born in 1989! I'm going to go home and cry now!

    Yikes, my little sister will be twenty this year. I can only imagine how old you really old folks must feel. Shawn's gotta be, like, what? Atleast seven-hundred by now.

    I was thinking of an episode of Quantum Leap the other day when I was in the shower. (It's true that a man does his best thinking in the shower.) Sam lept back into the body of a guy with Down Syndrome. I think the particular thought was just a tangent of a larger stream of conciousness I was having about political correctness in mass media. That's all I have to say about Quantum Leap.

    Not true! I cannot do either of those things and I am born in 1989.

    It should read "This date in 1989" then.

    Are you so sure about that?

    EDIT: The "iPhone" name is very much in dispute!
  • mariomario
    edited January 2007
    Yes, I am fairly sure that I got to stand close to an iPhone. No matter what happens between Cisco and Apple, it was called an iPhone at the moment I stood near it, and that fact will never change. And I'd be willing to put money down on Apple keeping the name and reaching a trademark agreement with Cisco.

    From what I've heard, they almost had worked out a deal when Apple pretty much said "Yano what? Fuck you Cisco." and then walked away from the deal. So I'm personally rooting for Cisco on this. I mean... You don't come that close to a deal and then just throw it out and do whatever the hell you want. That's just plain stupid and Apple should answer for it.

    And further more, after seeing what Apple's phone is (iPhone is Cisco's product, so I won't be referring to Apple's phone as such), it's not even that exciting. Whoo, a phone plus an iPod? Big deal. Not a product worth going to court because of it's name.

    I personally think that this is just an attempt by Apple to see if they can keep Sony from winning the "Dumbest Company of the Year" award twice in a row. Well, if that existed. I'm trying to say that Apple is ****ing stupid for this.

    That was an unwise move in a horde of Mac fans.

    Apple really doesn't care when it comes to naming things, and having to go to court for it. Hell, the company name itself is still being fought over by them and the Beatles.

    What horde of mac fans? There's just a lot of mac owners here. I wasn't particularly a PC fan when I owned one of them.

    Therein lies the difference between PC and Mac users. PC users will use their PC, but generally not feel any insane loyalty to the platform. Mac users usually do.

    What really bothers me is the very exsistance of MacWorld. I believe the likes of Dell and HP sell a whole lot more computers than Apple don't they? Is there a "Dell Show" or an "HP convention"? Do companies like these need a grand media event to announce a new product? Do I have to pick up a news paper and have their new products plastered all over the front page with like three articles written about them? No. Not a chance. Neither the Apple TV nor the iPhone are anything new. They are not newsworthy. You can say iPhone, but I just think "another n-gage?"

    Someone should start making all these new tele-com gadgets on wristbands. I mean come on, its obviously the future, and all such gadgets are on wristbands in the future, which is now.

    Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so. The iPod is a great product, sure, but come on.

    I heard the iPhone was touch screen.

    I also heard it secretes antibiotics that most modern day bacterium have not developed an immunity to.

    Meh, it's just like a Treo or one of those GSM-capable PocketPCs except it's more expensive and runs MacOS.

    Still, it'll probably be pretty cool when someone finds a way to install Linux on it.
