With someone else's iPhone.

The comment "Oh I got to dial it in" might hint that just maybe, he was looking for a contact in the address book that the phone's owner didn't have, and he had to enter the number himself. Which would, of course, make the entire story total bullshit.

They lost me when our son's little i-something music player died and I drove to the store in Walnut Creek, found a parking place, walked in and was then told I needed an appointment.

I explained I wasn't there for a root canal. I just wanted the damn thing fixed.

No, I needed an appointment.

Now, the place wasn't exactly packed. I asked if I could just wait. "No." I asked if I could make a same-day appointment. "No."

I think Apple is incredibly self-absorbed.

If I remember correctly, you could slip a long, thin strip of cardboard down the quarter slot, drop a penny (or was it a nickle?) in another slot, pull the cardboard out and you'd get a dialtone. And your coin would return.

Then you had to tie an onion onto your belt.

Is there any retail establishment more arrogant than an Apple Store? Makes Hollister seem like a weekend at Grandma's.

Don't forget Mr. Obama ordering arugeuella on his salad!

Thought, I'll bet both Mr. & Mrs. Obama can correctly spell it. I obviously can't.

That only happened because Chimpy was also holding hands with a Saudi prince at the same time.
