Apple makes me want to IPuke

In this article posted by the Associated Press, Apple once again justifies my dislike for them by putting ignorant restrictions on IPhone purchases.

Having sold 1.4 million units since launching the device at the end of June, Apple is looking to put a bit of a slowdown on iPhone sales, ahead of the upcoming holiday-buying scrum. Beginning late last week, customers no longer can purchase the iPhone with cash or buy more than two per person.

"Customer response to the iPhone has been off the charts, and limiting iPhone sales to two per customer helps us ensure that there are enough iPhones for people who are shopping for themselves or buying a gift," Apple's Natalie Kerris told the Associated Press. "We're requiring a credit or debit card for payment to discourage unauthorized resellers."


Ok, I can understand that Apple wants to have their product purchased through authorized sellers but not accepting cash for the purchases? This is probably the most "snobby" move that Apple has undertaken in recent memory. This is yet another blunder by the fruit loving company. Besides the fact that you can only use AT&T (terrible customer service and signal) as the carrier (unless you unlock the IPhone) and also the IPhone itself contains dangerous materials (http://blog.wired.com/business/2007/10/apple-now-in-le.html)

Also you cannot even have insurance on your precious IPhone through AT&T. You can only get a "service" plan through Apple for a mere $70 extra that "extends" your warranty for an extra year. God forbid that you drop the thing (Sorry Mark) because then you are out the $400 that you paid for this brick, sorry it's not covered according to the cutsomer friendly Apple. Enjoy the IPhone you Apple lovers and bask in its glory. Watch out for the Bromine and Benzine that the phone contains and also enjoy the poor and expensive AT&T service plans that come with this burden. In fact, they deserve eveything that comes along with it!
