Get a life, folks

I’m always baffled to see things like this.

Apple Store queue in Sydney

Its people queueing up outside the new Apple Store due to open in Sydney tomorrow night at 5 pm. For fuck’s sake, its a computer, phone and music players store!

Get a life people, especially:

  • Rochelle Quantock – who came from Mebourne at 4 am this morning so she could get first position in the line
  • Mike Kauffman – who flew in from the USA, and is a serial queuer, and estimates he has attended between 20 to 30 Apple store openings.
  • Moyzsckya Belle – flew in from Brisbane only to find the first position had already been taken when he arrived outside the store at 8:25am. He has owned every version of iPod ever released by Apple, and he and his wife had almost 10 Mac computers between them.

Wonder if these people were among those who lined up similarly when Krispy Kreme first opened here?

Firefox 3

Firefox 3 was launched today, with Mozilla aiming to set a world record for downloads for a single day. I’ve done my bit and downloaded and installed it. So far I like what I see.
