Are iPhone users really this fucking retarded? - GoFuckYourself.com

Cyandin · 02-09-2009, 10:32 PM

I saw a commercial today extolling the virtues of the iPhone, by way of its myriad "apps". Apparently, the haystack of apps even includes one to help you "split the bill among five people while at a restaurant".

Unless the app is designed to have you scrupulously enter every line item on the receipt, then assign those line items to one or more of the five guests for the most Jewish method of restaurant tab division EVER, (this strangely resembles one of my high school QBASIC programming lessons) then it would seem that this app is a glorified FUCKING CALCULATOR. TOTAL / 5 = ANSWER!!!!

CALCULATORS HAVE BEEN STANDARD FEATURES IN PHONES FOR A DECADE!

Apple, take your illusion of innovation and that ridiculous mouse you came up with (you know which one I'm talking about), and set yourself on fire ASAP.

crockett · 02-09-2009, 10:33 PM

You do understand the apps are made by 3rd party devlopers, not apple don't you?

pixovore · 02-09-2009, 10:34 PM

the iphone dream....

After Shock Media · 02-09-2009, 10:35 PM

I also really appreciated the Jewish jab as well.

James · 02-09-2009, 10:36 PM

I don't own an iphone for a reason. there's no calculator.

er..wait

But some schlub at Apple though this would be an amazingly cool app to feature on a multi-million dollar ad campaign.

Borrow a friend's iphone play with it and you will change your tune. It fucking ROCKS. And listen to this...

A software company that develops apps for the iphone has made over $5million in 6 months. They made less than that in 10 years of PC software development.

Which is why I just bought a Mac and am starting to develop iphone apps.

I see your lame app and raise you:

http://web.me.com/studio.six/rta.html

It's an app that turns your cellphone into a relatively accurate RTA.

Which is basically like living in the fucking future.

Wow. Do people have to complain about everything in life?

Yes, you are good in life and great in math. But what if others in your group of 12 want to see the difference btwn 15, 18, 20%?

I can do the math in my head, but sometimes you got to leave the 'I know everything' attitude at home.

It's a useful app for some people. Mmmmmmkay?

Nah bro, what I'm saying is that there is a perfect app for this task. It's the regular ol' calculator. I'm no math whiz, I'm only calling BS on making an app for a task that already has a perfect, ANCIENT app to handle it.

Perhaps, but if the first book you read WAS Britney's autobiography, I bet you would think all books are stupid too.

I know the iPhone has its perks. This is more of a social commentary as to the obvious lowly opinion Apple must have of its users, thinking that this app is the greatest thing since sliced bread, + a good opportunity for some humor.

That I agree with - but seriously, borrow someone's iPhone for 15 minutes and you'll realize that it's cooler than a fucking Star Trek tricorder.

90% of the apps are crap, I also agree. But that last 10% are utterly amazing.

Fair enough.

I thought you were bashing my beloved iPhone.

I think the point of the app commercials is that smart developers have been given the keys to the castle.

Ozarkz · 02-09-2009, 11:10 PM

It's a commercial wtf does it have to do with iPhone users?

It's just a basic feature that could appeal to a 16 yearold girl.. take a pill.. your company hosts pirated content..

I can walk to the store, too, but I'd rather drive the Viper and look cooler ... to people in the same demographic, psychographic, and technographic markets, it's a slick and entertaining way to divvy things up out at a restaurant. Last time we went to Outback, my wife, sister in law, and I all had our iPods/iPhones and were comparing apps ... I don't think I saw ONE that would have been "useful" to me beyond passing the time or looking slick ... but that isn't the point for me .. I dunno.

Well, the commercial aims to get new people on the iPhone, and get people with the iPhone to buy apps. So as opposed to aiming for the Aborigine market sector, I'd say the commercial is a square shot at the prospective iPhone'rs and current ones.

Secondly, 16 year old girls should know how to use a calculator.

OverdueNudes · 02-09-2009, 11:22 PM

And "tip calculators" are just as dumb but people will still use those.

Holy crap, the difference between calculator vs. iphone-app is as stark as walking vs. Viper?

I rescind all comments, and will buy an iPhone tomorrow, in attempts to get the poon a Viper precipitates, at a bargain. Wait...bargain poon? Fuck....

Props to you though, at least you recognize the facetious aspect of iPhone appeal.

Hehe ... I just chose the Viper because it's what I drive ... if I drove a Honda, I'd have said Honda, LOL.

KillerK · 02-09-2009, 11:32 PM

The app makes it alot faster then using the calculator.

You probably would yell at your kids for using Dictionary.com instead of opening the old book.

Problem is stupid people like this guy buys this app for the wrong reason, didn't understand what it does (which is nothing btw) or "accidentally" buys this app.

edgeprod · 02-09-2009, 11:54 PM

Natural selection took $999.99 from that guy ... but also note that the author voluntarily provided refunds for anyone who "accidentally" bought it .. hehe.

If I could have the iPhone on Alltel I would own one (instead I have a Blackberry Curve). AT&T service sucks crusty asscrack here in NC. I had it for a week and got more dropped calls during that week than in the previous 5 years of being on Verizon... not to mention there is a HUGE difference in voice quality between GSM and CDMA.

bobby666 · 02-10-2009, 07:19 AM

SinisterStudios · 02-10-2009, 07:37 AM

Im not a fan of Apple whosoever, but i was given a Iphone for a gift and i have to say im totally hooked. I use to have to carry a mini laptop with me almost everywhere i went to be able to control all my servers and fix/troubleshoot stuff while im out. Now i can ssh, remote desktop, ping, traceroute, etc. and troubleshoot almost everything i need from my phone.

Plus i can listen to Slayer while im troubleshooting stuff, fuck what more could you ask for

Seriously, if your a hardcore internet marketer the iphone is amazing.
