It's not the product, it's the culture!
You don't see this crap happening when the new I-Phones or I-Pads come out, but that's a different culture of people.
Really?
When the iPhone 4 came out I was all fists and elbows whirling like a dervish to get mine.
Do you think that's why everyone was staring at me?
Well, the Apple nuts do line up for hours and spend lots of money on i-phones and i-pads. The difference is few of them brawl in the Apple stores and few of them kill each other for the products. If one is robbed for an i-phone, the robber is more likely to be a druggie than an Apple fan.
