For the last THREE DAYS the talk in class has been about how expensive the new iPhones are. This has not replaced the daily "Mac versus PC" debates, but it's tempered them somewhat. It's the most inane conversation:
Geek: "The new iPhone is $250 a month after the $399 cost!"
Me: "You'd be an idiot to buy one."
Geek: "I should just go to the States and buy one and bring it back. My friend in Chicago has one!"
Me: "Yeah, but wouldn't you still have the $250 monthly fee?"
Geek: (pause) "Yeah, but it's still cheaper!" (loses interest in me as another student enters the class) "Hey -- did you know that the new iPhone is $250 a month?"
Another convo I had with a classmate:
"I could go to class 7 days a week - I just love it!"
In other class news, Child Genius celebrated his 17th birthday.

Do any of these people raise their hands and 'remind' the teacher to give out some homework?
What's the iPhone $250/month fee for, anyway? I don't know why anyone would get one of those right now. It's like when VCRs first came out and cost $3000.
I have to get back to work. (I'd hang out here 8 to 7, and on SATURDAYS if I could!)
That reminds me - prepare my nest! I heard that Uggs are much cheaper NZ and will be visiting next week to buy some and bring them back!
