So... if I'm in an area heavily populated with Wifi connections, I have to get up on a stage and ask everyone to turn their wifi connections off?

Good going Stevie boy.

oooooh look! It's a phone that can make videocalls!! How new and fresh, and never before seen. Let's all cheer and applaud...

apple fanboys are getting stupider with every new launch.

Don't miss the Iphone 5 presentation, where Steve Jobs will present a brand new and amazing feature... being able to make a call.

Jobs sounds pretty pissed about the wi-fi users... like he keeps bringing it up again. "Yes everybody, I know that you all are reporting to those most hardcore apple fans right now, but screw them, I want my demo to work perfect."

What are the chances that next time the stage demo units get their own dedicated connection/router?

Am more shocked that people obeyed him.

Upvote for "Verizon!"

First up: I think the iPhone 4 looks great, I do, it's a really nice looking piece of kit.

But again with Apple trying to pretend they invented something. Video calling now? Really? Really... the feature that has been on pretty much EVERY 3G phone out there? And it's not even doing it over 3G?

Come on guys, don't insult people. Even your average Joe knows that phones have had video calling for years now.

I hadn't watched this presentation, only the video 'ads' they have for it, and I seriously didn't think they'd be so bold as to try to suggest that NOW it's a reality, when it's been so for ages. I thought they might say that the iPhone gives a BETTER experience, but not try to suggest it's created it. Man.

Magical.

It totally looks like an icecream sandwich.

What a car crash. You're telling me Apple can't secure a solid wireless connection for a Jobs demo? Everyone else in the audience is ok but his phone is knackered?

Neat! The only thing we need to do is tell everyone around us to turn off their mobiles, so we can check the fuckin app store!

For all of us who are as narcissistic as Jobs, the world revolves around us, anyway!

*lies?

Invocations (lies) cannot be called by diction because diction is not privileged - sorry.

Also Foxconn, the manufacturer of the iPhone, is in the news because it's workers seem to prefer suicide to forced 30+ hour work shifts for 3 dollars a day. http://www.spiegel.de/international/business/0,1518,697296,00.html

I wonder if any of the people who built my laptop killed themselves. It's horrible to face the reality that I play a part in this oppression.

Well, how else is Apple going to bring us such innovation at a cheap cost without some issues.
