"Ceballo and Joseph Cruz represent electronic reseller BuyBackWorld and were the first people in line before Jason and Moon Ray paid them $2,500 to secure the top spots in line. While waiting, the Rays are promoting an app from VideoMedicine that allows patients to Skype with doctors.
For the fifth year, Ceballo waited with Cruz. He estimates he has made $7,000 waiting for Apple launches in addition to building his social media following.
Meanwhile, Robert Samuel, founder and owner of professional line-waiting service S.O.L.D. or Same Ole Line Dudes, already has orders for seven iPhone 6s and one inquiry from an iPhone re-seller despite the uncertainty."

I'll buy one for sure but wouldn't wait in line for damn near anything. Few weeks wait doesn't hurt gives it time for any bugs/security issues to be found before I get mine.
Dip in the stock today. Buying as much apple stock as I can while it's down. $$$
prolly cause of the icloud stuff going on..
I love how apple always blames the users for everything.. gotta love those iSheople
You couldn't pay me to stand in line for a apple product.. Actually I take that back. I hear some people pay people to stand in line for the next big thing and if I was paid well enough I would stand in line for some stupid person..

If you had an iPhone you wouldn't need to stand in line for anyone for cash as your life would be happy and complete. Since you don't have an iPhone you need cash to replace the loss of happiness that an iPhone would bring. Haters gonna hate

That is BS! I'm quite happy with my android phone and I plan to buy a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 to replace my POS iPad.. Compare the specs of a ipad and Note and you will see that there is no comparison..
But fanboys are going to believe that only apple products will make them happy..

SBJ & ErectMedia walk into a bar downtown Chicago. ErectMedia orders some drinks up. Slowly a blonde and a brunette walk over. ErectMedia begins talking to the brunette cause that's how he rolls leaving the blondie for SBJ. Girls say they have to run for a few to go pick up a friend. ErectMedia says cool punch those digits in my superior iPhone and you and your friends can come chill for the afterparty in my loft. SBJ tries the same technique with blondie but his android phone locks up and freezes and she begins to laugh. SBJ tries to call ErectMedia for the address but he doesn't hear his phone ring cause it's muffled by loud music and orgasmic screams from 3 chicks riding his cock in rotation. ErectMedia sends SBJ pics of the night the following day so at least he can FAP to the blondie he could have had if his damn Android didn't crash.

it would never happen like that but then again I've never needed a phone to pick up a girl.. But talking about freezing up. How do your phone's and tablets not freeze up more often with only one gig of ram? My new tablet comes with 3 gigs of ram.. Oh ya apple's don't freeze cause you can't multitask.. I can have up to 16 apps open and running at one time.. Then there is the IR remote that can control my TV, blu-ray, directtv, and reciever
christ, bunch of retards. Still people do that? It's really getting old...
even standing in line for days is not hip/original anymore. I think at this point apple has to be paying them, i cant imagine anyone still doing this for real.

The girl holds the iphone and looks at the cracked screen. It is impossible for her to punch in anything comprehensible, so she taps on it randomly out of pity, hands it back and gets the hell out of there with her friend. While walking home, the two girls trip over what seems to be a dirty bum. It turns out to be **********, waiting in line in front of the Apple store for the release of another iphone 6 weeks later.
the shame is three hours into waiting, their iphones will have no more battery life and they will have to pass the time with something else. Now on my note I can bring 50 fully charged batteries with me.
98.875% of the commenters did not read the article and responded with a knee-jerk "apple fanboys are idiots" comment.
1. I applaud the ingenuity and creativity of the opportunistic hippies (and small businesses) in line who are making a quick buck by doing nothing but sitting around. (extra points for maximizing their income by promoting something else as well while sitting there). I'm pretty sure by their standards what they will be earning is considered pretty good for the amount of time they put in.
2. I applaud the people that are paying other people to wait in line to save their own time that is clearly more valuable than whatever they are paying. And in the case of people whose time isn't worth more -- as long as they can afford it, who cares? Live and let live.
3. Most companies WISH they had the trust, brand power and following that Apple has.
Any entrepreneur worth their salt will appreciate most of the above points about what's *really* happening here.
The bottom line: Consider and analyze the concept (and maybe even consider how you could use it in your businesses) instead of criticizing it without understanding it first.
Couldn't agree more Mickey. Never understood the hate on either side of the device landscape. Use what works for you. I switched to all Apple products almost 8 years ago. I could never go back, I love them. If someone loves PC stuff, good for them, that's what you like.
There is something interesting about haters. Their comments come from a place inside that hurts them. This hurt causes them to act out and attempt to remove the individualism and personal choice that everyone has. They give away that they are haters by trying to play it off as something benign, but inside they're pushed by something dark and hateful like jealousy or lack of compassion for others.
I do think it's funny that no one knows what they're releasing next week, but they want it. I think I will pay someone to sit at the store here in the mall so I can get whatever it is they're selling first. I love my Apple products!

There are going to be some pissed off people in the stores on Tuesday when they find out that there is no more ATT subsidy on the phones and everyone will pay full whack of 699 and 499 respectively. LOLZ. That will really thin out the herd as far as buying the first day. I buy a phone a year so I don't care, I'm never under the upgrade clause. Going to be interesting.

I wonder if thats going to hurt sales and I think they are going to cost more than that.

It's going to really affect the sales in a negative way. There are lots of people waiting with iPhone 4s that have the upgrade available and think that they will get the subsidy. Going to be a tense and stressful day for the hipsters working at the Apple store next week.
