In this video, Wired.com talks to the crazy-awesome people who waited in line for days to get their paws on the second installment of Steve’s baby, the iPhone 3G. We also found out why internet celebrity blogger Robert Scoble cut in line at the last minute, and why the event gave those who always wanted to sleep on the street a somewhat valid excuse (Still – yech!).

wow… thats a weird reply, since Steve Wozniak havent been near apple since like the 90 or something, and actually thats where they started to grow bigger!
so if you think about it, yes wozniak was one of the ground forces behind apple, but the succes of apple happened when Jobs took over again and began working as a CEO of apple in 1997.
or what…?
November 20, 2009
if you really think that steve jobs has done ANYTHING, you are a dumb fuck.
all steve jobs does is give ideas like “Oh yeah, I like it better this way..” or “make it in a different color.”
apple = steve wozniak
if you think otherwise, reply to me and i’ll school you on apple.

Wow Are you kidding? The only good product Apple made? Its funny how people just follow everyone else and go with the flow and ignore everything else. Before Mp3s were stuck and nobody really had the solution then the iPod came out with lots of advertising. Soon nobody knew what an Mp3 was only an iPod. iPod isnt the best. (I prefer it though) Mac is the best. The iPod is like WIndows in market share.

gates doesn’t simply have a board meeting and say, “ok, apples got blah. Throw it into windows.” The whole technological industry functions because companies build off of other companies. They try to make creations even better and call it their own. if it was identical and functioned the same right down to the api, then you can say it was stolen.
