Completely ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, I love my iPad for both work and screwing around, but there is absolutely no way that I would stand on an hours long line, let alone camp out a few days for it. Just like the idiots that camp out for the latest video game system or the newest fad toy. People really need to find something better to do with their time/life
I waited in line for both the PS3 and the Xbox 360. Why? Because I'm an idiot? No, because I can, because I work hard, and I can spend my off time how I want. Does it really bother you that much?
Spending 24 hours in line (I waited 50 hours for the PS3) is a drop in a bucket compared to the year I've spent in Iraq, or the 3 weeks I spent doing recovery operations at ground zero after the World Trade Center attacks. What have you done worthwhile?
Who are you to call me an idiot for spending my time off the way I want to?
Grow up.
