I hate

Hate is a bit strong for this one but I'm slightly puzzled by the vast number of people on my facebook age and various other forums getting excited about the new iphone. IT'S A FUCKING PHONE FOR FUCKSAKE.

Does it allow me to phone people - check
Does it allow me to text people - check
Does it have a few games to entertain me while I take a dump - check

Surely that is all that is required. Can people really not live their lives fully without being connected to facebook, twitter, ebay, their email and whatever other websites tickle their fancy 24 hours a day?

How else would they be able to take part in anti-consumerist discussions if their phone isn't capable of internet browsing?
