Apple store flakes after iPhone 4 price reveal Apple's UK online store crumpled under a mass of fanbois this morning, which may or may not have been related to its opening up for iPhone 4 pre-orders. The site posted pricing details for Steve's latest pocket wonder bar earlier and all seemed well - until the rest of the country piled in to check it out. Earlier this …
"Either way, surely even the most hardened fanboi will eventually get fed up of being either manipulated or simply forced to wait to order the phone of this year's dreams."
Or they'll, you know, try again later. Because they're normal.
Hands up who's tired of the Register's relentlessly bitter, self-defeating, reality-distorted and immensely boring coverage of every single iota of anything Apple related? For a company you profess (repeatedly, endlessly, in every preachy opinion piece and snarky comment) to dislike, you really are slavish in your attentions.
I don't know if you've noticed yet, but all the negative coverage you've been heaping on Apple for the last few years hasn't actually hurt Apple. They're doing fine and quite enjoying all the endless free publicity thanks very much. Meanwhile, I've no idea who the Register are anymore, or what point you serve.
You could always go to a Pro-Apple site where you will never see anyone Blaspheming against the great and mighty jobs.
Of course since the majority of Articles of the Reg don't involve Apple you could always not read them, complaining about people who have a different view/opinion that you is pretty Hypocritical.
I don't think the point of any of these articles is to hurt apple, if you don't understand satire then perhaps you shouldn't be reading the Reg anyway.
Or was the whole Apple site on a go-slow for most of the last 72 hours (well, up until last night anyway)? In particular, images.apple.com didn't seem to be there and everything was held up as a result. Or if it was there it wasn't actually talking to anyone, presumably preferring to sulk in some basement somewhere.
Honestly, what is it with people's obsession about taking down Jobs and acting like Apple killed your dog? He's a tyrant, sure, but he's also revolutionized two and soon to be three industries. And the market has reflected that. He's got what people want, and they want to buy it. You feel differently. Apple isn't insulting you. (Google isn't liberating you, either — just try using non-Google products on your Incredible.) But this is how the market works. People have a choice—you made yours, great. Now shut up about it.
