Tales of a Screenwriting Hack V.2

Let’s call this recipe: How fast can we force our AT&T/Apple Store Employees to quit?

Step 1: Announce Apple iPhone 3G.

Step 1a: Price it so almost anyone can actually afford the damn thing.

Step 1b: Make people wait a whole month until it’s available.

Step 2: Only allow in store pick up.

Step 3: Only allow in store activation.

Step 4: Release it on a Friday.

Step 5: Stir and let simmer for forty-five minutes until hot. Makes several thousand servings.

Now, Step 3 should not be a problem, all the other carriers do in store activation. The slight problem with recipe is the Apple Reality Distortion Field (ARDF) is at an all time high right now. Add to the fact that several Apple Cult Followers, er, I mean, fans have been known to actually arrive at an Grand Opening of an Apple Store some several hours/days early just adds spiciness to an already full recipe.

Sure, I’m still going to go. Hell, surviving an Apple Store Opening is one thing, buying a phone and walking out is piece of pie. . .

. . .yeh, it’s gonna be a mad house…

According to most of the Apple rumor sites there’s a rumor about AT&T Wireless restricting vacationing time from June to July.

If it’s true, thank you for the heads up, most of us were figuring the new 3G Apple Phone was dropping sometime around WWDC (June 9-13) anyway and this type of rumor (true or not) cements it even further.

And, if anyone is in the Boston area on the 16th, their new store is opening at 6pm.

A great series to look at and a contest to enter too for those student photographers out there.

Downloaded 10.5.2., everything seems aok.

Pictures of the line at San Fran begin to trickle into the Mac Blogs.

According to Mateo, the tent has been put away now and the lines are becoming more organized…

The V1Beta Crew traveling to MacWorld just in time to miss all the snow tomorrow.

Good luck to the V1Beta Crew next week when they are MacWorld.

This will give them a good excuse to update the website, cough, cough.

Vanburen and I will make sure to play some Headquarters on Shipment while you’re gone…

Hmmm.

Steve Jobs will be giving the Keynote at Macworld 2008.

The keynote address will occur on Tuesday, Jan. 15, 2008 at 9:00 AM PST in Moscone West at San Francisco’s Moscone Convention Center.

So, no buying Mac Stuff until then unless it’s a gift certificate…

Refunds for everyone!
