Apple tipped them off.

Part of me has to wonder...does this post help to fulfill the daily Apple post quota?

I appreciate posts even on a "slow news day." Thank you.

Sorry Laura, I typed in for the Apple exclusion and here I am with a 3GS post, and a pretty heartless photo.

If you think this is trolling, you need to grow a thicker skin. Maybe posting publicly isn't for you. It's funny you cite reader feedback to support your post but can't handle the negative reader feedback.]]>Jun 19th 2010 4:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/19/this-day-in-engadget-waiting-in-line-comes-to-an-end-as-the-iph/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/19/this-day-in-engadget-waiting-in-line-comes-to-an-end-as-the-iph/"Long known for generosity to transients, the city has adopted a program to provide transitional housing and treatment"

So true, it's not, is it?

In that case, I feel terrible about "trolling". I still think the photo is in poor taste.

Gives me a good idea though...when I head down to see the iPhone 4 launch I think I'll bring a case of juice and some snack packs or something...hand them out to any unfortunate homeless people I see. It's a better use of my funds.]]>Jun 19th 2010 4:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/19/this-day-in-engadget-waiting-in-line-comes-to-an-end-as-the-iph/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/19/this-day-in-engadget-waiting-in-line-comes-to-an-end-as-the-iph/Jun 19th 2010 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/19/this-day-in-engadget-waiting-in-line-comes-to-an-end-as-the-iph/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/19/this-day-in-engadget-waiting-in-line-comes-to-an-end-as-the-iph/RAWR!

Couldn't agree more, I'm sorry we had a poor exchange.

I think my problem with the photo stems from posting in an attempt to make a statement about jackass consumers on a site that caters to, nay, endorses it. And outside the lone photo we don't have any other information. While it's pretty unlikely, for all we know those people did offer to buy the guy a meal or something else positive. It's all pretty disgusting now matter how you look at it though, especially consider we could all probably do more.

Thank you for the tag. I can never say you weren't reachable or never listened to your readers.]]>Jun 19th 2010 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/19/this-day-in-engadget-waiting-in-line-comes-to-an-end-as-the-iph/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/19/this-day-in-engadget-waiting-in-line-comes-to-an-end-as-the-iph/
"You know what's heartless? The jackasses standing in line for a phone while someone sleeps on a bench."

do something about it then, maybe a nice post about how we should think about buying expensive things when other people suffer around us, but then never actually do anything.

yea, that might work.]]>Jun 19th 2010 5:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/19/this-day-in-engadget-waiting-in-line-comes-to-an-end-as-the-iph/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/19/this-day-in-engadget-waiting-in-line-comes-to-an-end-as-the-iph/
