Comments on: Not I http://www.edrants.com/not-i/ a cultural website in ever-shifting standing Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:01:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Patrick Stephenson http://www.edrants.com/not-i/comment-page-1/#comment-190858 Patrick Stephenson Tue, 27 Feb 2007 07:32:41 +0000 http://www.edrants.com/?p=5538#comment-190858 I've calmed down now. Anyway, I stand by what I said above, and I think the iPhone's cool, but I'm not going to buy one either. (1) because my $50 phone is already more than I need, and (2) the $500 asking price is more than I have to my name, presently, so no. I’ve calmed down now.

Why is Microsoft exempt? No cynics among the bunch? Most of the comments—the user comments, that is—I've read on Gizmodo, Engadget, etc. take a similar stance: buying into Apple = being a conformist. I'm sick of it. This was an inoffensive, low-key ad. People saying hello, and then a picture of the phone. Reading any more into it is moronic.
