- rickcarson, on 01/03/2008, -2/+44If she was ugly, they would have booted her out or asked her to 'move along'.
- lukas88, on 01/03/2008, -2/+30She is too cool to use the computers at the library, apparently
- chrisutley, on 01/03/2008, -4/+24I'm a big Apple fan, but who gives a ***** where she wrote this book? On toilet paper, on stone, in blood, etc.. Good or bad, how the book was recored is really not particularly interesting. She could have stolen a SONY Vaio from Best Buy and written on that, so what?
- SillyRabbits, on 01/03/2008, -0/+15Talk about high maintenance! She has a friend with a broken leg come down to the store to bring her a $0.25 CD because she doesn't have enough money to buy one? Can you imagine what dating her would be like? Who actually thinks that's acceptable behavior? All I can say is she must be REALLY hot...
- marx2k, on 01/03/2008, -2/+17I am 99.9% certain she is a paid advertiser for Apple. Grew up on the Apple II? Doubtful.
How many times can a human being say Apple in a sentence? It's like Ron Paul spammers,. but with Apple - Vodd9, on 01/03/2008, -0/+14"After I pouted to a store employee about my catastrophe he told me I could buy a CD at the store and then download it, but my funds were limited at the time."
Wow, she was really broke - stilesja, on 01/03/2008, -3/+16So she called a film producer friend on with a broken leg who hobbled to her on crutches to bring a cd. Seriously this dude really wants to bang her and she keeps leading him on. This guy brings her a blank cd via crutches, meanwhile some d-bag she met at a bar is 4 inches deep in her so she can have a place to sleep for a few nights. This chick is such a whore...
- bortis, on 01/03/2008, -0/+13She did, however, have enough to buy a coffee on the way over...
- inactive, on 01/03/2008, -0/+12Getting national attention? NO ONE is talking about her. Having some Apple fanboy sites talking about her is not getting national attention.
- 89vision, on 01/03/2008, -1/+13I don't think the mac would have even worked.
- socialpyramid, on 01/03/2008, -1/+11I did write much of a screenplay in uni computer labs. I put on Internet radio and got down to business. Sometimes that's less distracting and more focused than working at home.
- marx2k, on 01/03/2008, -2/+11She is a paid advertiser for Apple. That's the only answer. No human being mentions a company name that many times in a conversation, even when the conversation is about that company.
It's like hearing someone say "So I went to the 7-11 and then I got to the 7-11 so while at the 7-11 I got a 7-11 Slurpy and went to the 7-11 fridge and pulled a Coke out of the 7-11 fridge cooled by 7-11 freon. At the 7-11 counter, the 7-11 dude asked me if I was done shopping.. at 7-11. Well, I figured it was 7:11 so I might as well get my stuff and leave the 7-11. The bill came out to $7.11 and so I paid the 7-11 guy and left the 7-11."
That and she comes away as a yappy irritating little jap. But hey, that's what New York is all about, right? - jthei, on 01/03/2008, -0/+8the built in iSight weeds out the fatties
- Lukelephant, on 01/03/2008, -1/+7"After I pouted to a store employee about my catastrophe he told me I could buy a CD at the store and then download it, but my funds were limited at the time. So instead I called a film director I knew who lived in SoHo and even with a broken leg, in his crutches he brought me a CD"
Bitch! This was the apple stores way of asking her to leave. The cut off the internet! ROFL! - thevelvetsun, on 01/03/2008, -0/+6Frankly, this reads like one long Apple commercial. How do we know Apple didn't pay her to do this, to gain some mutual publicity?
- thailand1972, on 01/03/2008, -1/+7I really care about how a book was written, not the contents of the book itself.
Wait, no I don't, so she FAILS. - dleeson2, on 01/03/2008, -0/+5met at the Genius bar
- buildbyflying, on 01/03/2008, -0/+5Frank O'Hara did the same thing back in the sixties, writing on his lunch breaks at the Olivetti typewriter shop. Nothing new but a good idea.
- marx2k, on 01/03/2008, -0/+5Slow news day?
- chewyrunt, on 01/03/2008, -1/+5some of her camel toe: http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/intimo-st ...
- agimat, on 01/03/2008, -0/+4ZOMG! WHERE?!
- klarthlester, on 01/03/2008, -2/+6Wow. I am drowning in hatorade. Okay, granted, the story probably isn't that interesting. If she had just blogged it instead of emailing it to herself, I wonder where that would have gone. Obviously they cut her much slack for being a hot chick or something. I wouldn't dare go into the Apple store and just use it like that. I feel self-conscious enough just browsing, knowing I can't afford any of it. And yes, it's entirely possible that she is just a paid advertiser for Apple. But guess what: she is making out like a bandit regardless.
If it is a ploy, props to Apple for fooling so many. If it's legit, props to iJade for booting up in the world, MTM-style. Either way, what's with all the profanity and misogyny? If she worked it, then dumb ass dudes let her. That doesn't make her a whore. Looking like that, if she was a 'ho, and not the crack- variety, she could have bought her own damn Mac and we wouldn't be having this discussion.
Chill, folks.
It's funny that her shorty modeling angle has been completely overwhelmed by the fact that it got this far at all, and how she got there. I wonder if the book even has that much to say on the matter. - inactive, on 01/03/2008, -0/+4what a skilled attention whore, and a shameless parasite too. calls a guy and makes him hobble over on crutches to deliver a CD. and, a 5'3" model? yeah I'm sure that was a long and involved career, and by the sound of it, she was making just gobs of money, sure. well, unless letting that greaseball from American Apparel dryhump your leg for free socks counts.
yawn. - beemac7, on 01/03/2008, -1/+5Exactly my thoughts!
- bourgeoisie23, on 01/03/2008, -1/+5she holds a job as a model, but can't afford to buy a blank cdr? What a twit for making the guy on crutches come down to give her one. I like the idea of reclaiming corporate space for public use, but this article fails to deliver on that front.
- happyseamonster, on 01/03/2008, -0/+4Hater.
- Soave, on 01/03/2008, -0/+4"My mother, a teacher, raised us the best she could with spaghetti O’s and garage sale clothes and summer felt more like Christmas when she would bring home a barrowed Apple computer."
LMAO. What a ridiculous interview. - mclev, on 01/03/2008, -0/+3Astroturfing for Mac Stores? Not to be overly cynical, but come on. This is a bit too much.
- HouseCentipede, on 01/03/2008, -8/+11This author is a hack.
"Follow the jump", "Are you a MAC person?" - beemac7, on 01/03/2008, -0/+3Broke midget bitch!
- HonoredMule, on 01/03/2008, -0/+3coworkers chitchatting and bosses ranting on the phone with their office doors open are the bane of my creativity/productivity. I can work at home, and do because it's a much more noise/temperature/comfort controlled environment.
- lsatkins, on 01/03/2008, -3/+6Oh my god someone wrote a book on a Mac?!?!?!
- jhul, on 01/03/2008, -0/+3DI: What was the strangest thing that happened to you while you were working on the book there?
IJ: In mid-type a kid next to me spilled his soda and I saved the spill from hitting the keyboard.
Wow, did that make it into the book? - Sterango, on 01/03/2008, -2/+5Wow how lame does someone's actions have to be to get attention? Wow she used SOMEONE ELSE'S COMUPTER to write something!! Wow!! Guess what guys, I pay for a gym membership every month to use SOMEONE ELSE'S FITNESS EQUIPMENT!! Alert internet!!!
- thejokker, on 01/03/2008, -0/+3Amazon.com Sales Rank: #343,748 in Books
- m3mn0n, on 01/03/2008, -0/+3modeling isn't "work"
- crossmr, on 01/03/2008, -0/+3"It may very well be the start of a new breed: books written in public spaces on public computers."
no its not, but please, post more speculative, sensationalist bs. - jcani, on 01/03/2008, -0/+3buried for being lame.
- sv650touring, on 01/03/2008, -0/+2I bet he did a creepy hair-sniff when she turned to put the CD in the drive.
- fradro, on 01/03/2008, -0/+2and she couldn't afford a freaking CD-R.. so a guy had to arrive in crutches. In the busy streets of NYC.. gimme a break
- MikeFromAmerica, on 01/03/2008, -0/+2In her defense, Apple probably charges $20 for a 3-pack of CD-Rs.
(oh.. just noticed my joke is 12 hours too late. jthei said essentially the same thing.) - mrjit, on 01/03/2008, -1/+3How exciting.
- kuturak, on 01/03/2008, -0/+2This is actually quite funny, if not a little irritating.
Lazy-ass bitch this one! It's not her height that is problematic, it's the fact that she is so ordinary looking. Cute, yes... but that's all. - xavi, on 01/03/2008, -0/+2"It became a reason to get up in the morning, my first daily stop, an office, with coffee in hand ..."
Not too broke to afford a coffee every morning. Over the 9 months she spent writing this book she probably spent around 1000$ on coffee. (28 days * 9 months * 4$) - chrisutley, on 01/03/2008, -1/+2WIth a rear end like this, she can type the entire Library of Congress on my Mac anytime... http://www.bonitamagazine.com/HotGirls/hot-girls.h ... - scroll down about halfway down the page to get a peep at that boo-tay.
- beemac7, on 01/03/2008, -2/+3LMAO!!!!
- mthe0ry, on 01/03/2008, -0/+1Which is more plausible of the following:
a) Beautiful model cannot afford computer and really does not like libraries or internet cafes so she writes a memoir in the Apple store that garners attention from critics, consumers and the press.
b) Apple, noting success of Starbucks' holiday viral marketing campaign, seeks out model, hires her to attach her face to a heartwarming story conceived of on a whiteboard. Apple alerts the internet. - leaknoil, on 01/03/2008, -0/+1I dispute the beautiful part. Shes OK but, I think she might think about other work then modeling. It isn't her height thats the problem though it doesn't help.
If she grew up using an Apple II is she like in her late 30's ? - inkhead, on 01/03/2008, -1/+2This is not impressive, the best seller list in Japan contains at least 3 novels written as TXT on cellphones. YES that's right people. ON their freaking cellphones.
- happyseamonster, on 01/03/2008, -0/+1Time limit.
