trying implies failure

I'm going to agree with you, I don't really understand why this is really a relevant article in the first place, but the comments are almost as ignorant as the guy robbing the restaurant. Why comment at all if you're just insulting a brand? I am an iPhone owner, any to be honest it's the easiest hardware to repair, phone wise, i've ever owned (hobby of mine is electronics repair) , Sony hardware is fragile, and cheap. the PSP is not a portable gaming device for people who leave the house and may drop it- ever... and I agree with certain mistakes like the reception problems with the iphone 4, even though i don't have them i won't discredit them... Apple is just another brand. I had a terrible experience with Dell, that mother board fried 3 times in a year! But i don't get on every forum and dog them... they fixed it for free until my warranty ran out.. then i bought a mac, but Dell makes good computers..

i think we see competition, so we hate the competitor. OR we see something we don't understand, and we're afraid of it, so we persecute it. but the truth is EVERY cell phone company in america is trying to be the iphone, and that is not speculation, that is fact - everyone wants an app store, everyone wants a touch screen interface.. and the google OS is the only competitor even close that i've seen. Win7Mobile is still new, so perhaps it can be something, but MS has a history of pumping money into a market and doing it rushed, and poorly.. like Internet Explorer... bleh.. So if you wanna dog on a company, that's your prerogative, but next time, try to sound educated when you do because you come off like a bunch of babbling buffoons at the moment.. just saying.


[citation][nom]psymonjoseph[/nom]..to be devil's advocate: it is disheartening that no one here, thus far (and rarely, if ever in these wonderful comments), considered (at least in written response) the possibility that the man perhaps had employment when purchasing said iphone, and that perhaps we was replaced by (fill in the blank - could be immigrant worker, could of been some sort of automation; perhaps the business he worked for downsized, etc)...of course, he could of been fired for smoking crack - who knows for sure, as it certainly wasn't printed here....of course, this is pure speculation, and perhaps it is more fun to make a jest at one's misfortune (and obviously stupid decisions) - but a couple of things are evident: he presumably used the iphone IN HIS POCKET as a gun, and is not stated whether said iphone was active (an iphone could still be used for phone purposes, off network, via wifi and skype, google voice, etc..)...I realize commenting here is all in good fun, but ignorance and presumptuousness sadly shows a shallow character....just sayin.... - Happy New Year to all![/citation]

[citation][nom]xbeater[/nom]Im sorry im generally somewhat accepting of useless apple articles that would not have been in the news if it was another brand, but this is SERIOUSLY PATHETIC! The man doesn't even USE the iPhone to rob the restaurant, he just happens to have it on his person...[/citation]

Another "news" about iPhone. "Man Tried to Rob Restaurant With iPhone" sounds kinda better than "Man with iPhone tried to rob restaurant" I wonder who is getting paid for producing and releasing this kind of advertisement.

I think that people are generally fed up with endless advertising campaign for Apple products dressed as a "news" bro. No arguments on quality of iThings I just can't take articles like: "Man with iPhone puked on airport" any more

Armed robbery, so apparently there isn't an app for that?

 

[kingnoobe]

Or maybe the guy got laid off/fired you know after he bought the phone. They don't say what generation it is. Now obviously I don't know what this guy sitution is, so I can't say anything for certain, and guess what neither do any of you.

Call him an idiot or not, at least he wasn't stupid enough to start actually shooting people for 100/200 dollars.

since we are going this route, would it be just as easy to surmise that the comment section of ebaums world is the msnbc of the the viral community?

All you guys flaming the would be thief for having an iphone are not seeing the whole picture. No one really NEEDS money for their kids these days. There's plenty of government programs to care for your kids' basic needs. No worries there. But, lets say the kid sees daddy's iphone and wants one just like it, and daddy only gets to see his kid on the weekends so he really wants to be a bigshot to the kid. Or maybe the kid wants a new PS3. There's no government program for that stuff. And if you go out and get a job to buy that stuff for your kid, guess what? the government starts trying to take away your free government assistance programs.

However, if memory serves...there was a push a year or so ago to redefine cellphones as basic necessities and therefore covered under government assistance programs. Maybe they will get that done so poor guys like this won't have to rob restaurants to get their kids iphones.

How's if feel to be an honest taxpayer? Chumps. LOL

If you're going to pull off a half-assed attempt at robbery, don't even bother.
