    I don\’t want an iPhone. I have come to resent cellphones, and refuse to own a laptop. All of this stuff could be the downfall of civilization as we know it! (see \’despotism\’ further down today\’s links…. ;-)

    Maybe that sign say LA Stories and got inspired… So not really a hack after all.
    And about that iPhone, if you don\’t want it, mail it to me. It looks like it could be a fun toy.

  3. One in three Americans wants an iPhone? I think we can chalk this nonsense up to Steve Jobs and his band of Apple mind control despots!

    Joanne has an iphone? Joanne seems to be humor impaired today. Did Godzilla get that building?

    The problem with being the most popular phone in the U.S. will be that it will become the most hacked into phone in the U.S.

    But I love Apple and Wikipedia for unceasingly demonstrating what could be were everyone interested in doing it right.

    One in three Americans wants an iPhone? Big deal. Four in 10 Americans think Saddam attacked the World Trade Center.

        I suppose those 90 million starving people are unlikely to get iPhones as well. I mean, is there no end to injustice?

  11. the use of so many scales has more than a little tinge of despotism about it. I’m a fellow who makes it my job to study these things don’t you know.

        I didn\’t want to \’rack\’ up a bunch of negatives and the \’ample\’ text is in German but now that you know what it\’s about; it isn\’t x-rated. She\’s on the right side of the article!

      2. what\’s with the captioning, can\’t a guy have some fun…and the Ebay girl on the left ain\’t too bad either.

        If that story happened in the USA, she\’d be a celebrity by now hitting the talk show circuit..Regis…The View…Dr. Phil…Dr. Phil?

    Having done product placement before, this iPhone baloney and YouTube times 8 is lame.

    Look, its seems Rocketboom is terribly cynical or it has once again insulted its viewers intelligence. Your \”viewership,\” is, ah, the digital community — and the stealth marketing on this broadcast is stunningly transparent.

    So, what\’s new?

    Certainly not, pocketboom.

    Although I truly feel sorry for Joanne. I hope they\’re paying her a lot — if not, she should cut her loses and work out a deal with lime.com. At least hawking food is honest. Well, more honest.

    New media, indeed.

    1. Hmm, not sure what you are talking about. We have a paid for, post roll sponsorship messages which helps support the existence of the show, but we have never done any product placement. Just having fun with whats out there.

        Drew, can the Comments section be linked to the chat tool and use our login IDs to display who is online or offline in the chat room? That way we avoid going in there for nothing. I have yet to meet someone else in there! Where is everybody?!

    from the banana guard:
    \”now capable of custom printing possibilities for company names or logos to replace \’banana guard\’ on larger orders.\”

    now that is advertising.
