Mark Morford captures the spirit of the moment:
“I can’t really believe I’m saying this, but the new iPhone 3GS is perfect in every way I can possibly think of,” said ‘phoneboi69′ in the comments section of the TechCruch website on the day the device was announced at Apple’s Worldwide Developer’s Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco.
“Normally I’d gleefully, even thoughtlessly trash any new Apple product as being yet another stupidly elitist, overpriced toy for latte-drinking yuppie idiots who wouldn’t know their HSDPA speeds from their UTMS absorption rates, usually even before the device comes out and well before I’ve actually used the thing myself — which of course I never would, if it’s from f–king Apple,” he continued, somewhat breathlessly.
“But I’ve since analyzed this astounding device’s capabilities, and I even got my hands on a pre-pro model and disassembled it with a tiny screwdriver and a hammer for nine hours straight while watching a LOTR marathon on Blu-Ray, and it still managed to serve my every possible need,” he wrote, as more than 300,000 fellow TechCrunch readers gave his posting an enthusiastic thumbs-up, with not a single thumbs down — a first in the site’s history.
“It is nothing short of completely and totally perfect in every imaginable way,” he added, before the site crashed entirely.
