  • moisie, on 10/12/2007, -196/+17The Joy of Tech is just rubbish.
  • FalseProphecy, on 10/12/2007, -156/+6I like how whoever made the comic thinks the movies are played back widescreen, seeing as how it's impossible considering the screen ratio is only 1.5:1
    • xaaronreevesx, on 10/12/2007, -8/+118oh my ***** god.

      how dare those assholes.
    • jcronkhite, on 10/12/2007, -5/+26Dude, it's a comic. Relax. Let's allow for some artistic license, huh?
    • Sandwiches_Time, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16This is a goddamned outrage. We must do something.
    • willi, on 10/12/2007, -2/+55widescreen isn't defined as 16:9 only. You can call it widescreen if it's wider than 4:3.
    • mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -46/+1@willi

      well, technically if that were true, all computer monitors would be "widescreen", because standard size for monitors is 5:4, which is wider than 4:3..

      but, I don't really think it's a technical word.. (sorry for adding to the anal-lism, feel free to bury me)
    • kodek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+38"because standard size for monitors is 5:4, which is wider than 4:3.."

      5 / 4 = 1.25
      4 / 3 = 1.33...

      5:4 is wider?
    • mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -4/+62..I feel ridiculously stupid right now
    • sonofalink, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8Actually the part that doesn't make the comic "right" (its a comic for christsake) is that movies won't change orientation based on how you move the phone. Steve said they will always play in wide screen "landscape" mode no matter what.
    • macmankev, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11.5:1 is approximately the ratio of the 15" G4 PowerBooks (1.4988:1). The last 15" G4 Powerbook actually had exactly a 1.5:1 ratio.
    • mutatron, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3One word: letterboxing.
  • estvir, on 10/12/2007, -22/+10This has already been on the frontpage.
    • Halifax1, on 10/12/2007, -10/+14I haven't seen it on the front page, so to some people it's new. Damn sorry for some of us who actually have lives and miss some things that show up while we are busy working, or doing something more important than complaining about something being on the front page already.
    • broomett, on 10/12/2007, -10/+2Halifax...if you truly had a life, then you wouldn't care about missing some front page stories.

      This site is not set up to accomodate you. If you don't check every day, you miss some stories. Repeated front page stories is one of hte many, many reasons why the value of this site is tumbling faster than the interest in the iPhone and why Kevin will never be able to afford a new couch, at least not on the money he makes from the sale of Digg.

      But seriously...acting like you have a life is pretty silly, don't you think? Clearly you don't, and everyone sees it.
    • naio21, on 10/12/2007, -7/+5What surprises me most is that as of this moment 2323 idiots dugg this crap.

      =:-O
  • voidptr, on 10/12/2007, -4/+70Dug down for
    a) being a repeat
    b) Posting a link to some random image hosting site copy instead of the original comic: http://www.joyoftech.com/joyoftech/joyarchives/910.html
    • kingkilr, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Yep, literally one week ago.
    • quentinmcalmott, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20Yeah, it's really a jerkish thing to do to not link to the original website for this kind of thing. If it goes down, then look at a mirror, but until then, you should send traffic to the original site.
    • mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Yeah it always pisses me off when digg users decide it's ok to steal bandwidth from these guys..
    • titlesaysitall, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I know, I love th JoT guys! However what is up with random people linking to mirrors? I'm sure JoT has plenty of Bandwidth and the artists would love the cash from Ad revenue.
    • cleverboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"b) Posting a link to some random image hosting
      site copy instead of the original comic"

      Exactly. WTF.
  • clockworkORANGE, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1hahahah this is perfect.
  • astrosmash, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3It's funny 'cause it's true.
    • justnick, on 10/12/2007, -7/+7If it were true he wouldn't be able to call 911 cause his battery would be dead. Funny comic though, I like these guys.
    • vikinghammer, on 10/12/2007, -6/+11Yeah, I hate how often my iPhone battery runs out.

      Wait, what? I don't have one yet? And neither do you? Another good, well informed comment!
  • kruykaze, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27That lady looks like Leo Laporte.
  • ibri, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0Ya, what the hell. Be smart when you see something you think might be hip and original like this, because chances are someone's already posted it here. What a diggn00b :(
  • PiGuy, on 10/12/2007, -14/+14They forgot the part where he pulls out his iPhone and tries to dial 911 but can't because the battery is dead.
    • broomett, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4Or that he has not signal because Cingular is not strong enough in his area.
  • WiZZLa, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7I can't wait to post this exactly one week from now so it can get on the frontpage again!
  • Zreitan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Those damn evil bananas praying on old women, then the apples swoop in and steal the show...

    fruit is evil people.. diabolically evil
    • darkyoshi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2but the windows use cloaking devices, so that people can't see them, and they then bump into them.
  • KSUdesigner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yet another category digg needs to add: images. Then I could actually filter all these things out.
  • nreynolds, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4"would probably be true if happening." - huh... because the other day I saw a lot of stuff happening but NONE of it was true....
  • D3koy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Silver iPhone? word...
  • Vaslo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Nah, the woman is definitely John C. Dvorak.
  • Rozza, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6holy repost batman!
  • djepik, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Lol @ the banana peel
    • simplenation, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0i thought that was a copy of vista
  • kingygk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Im sure there is a firefox extension that will dial 911 for you. :)
  • SourWorm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Looks like a brisk autumn day except for the iPhone person in shorts/tee.
    • simplenation, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3remember, he is an apple guy, not pc
  • dvsbastard, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3More humorous is that a lady falls and the gathering crowd pleas for a cellular 911 call... Because helping her up would be too challenging!

    Reflections on modern day society aside - It's a funny cartoon nevertheless! :)
    • broomett, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4If an old person falls, there is a good chance she needs professional medical attention. Something that a crowd of average pedestrians can't give her.

      You want them to lift her up on a probably broken hip?
  • RonaldLewis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2LOL! Thanks for the laugh!
  • Infekted, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1What if...
    these event happen in japan?

    thats what i would like to know.
    would there be a "oooohhhhhh...." "aaaahhhhh...."?
  • freshiam, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1+Nice+
  • Snaggy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7/me shakes head... yet another un-link to our site!

    quentinmcalmott, my whole-hearted agreement on your comment.
    thanks voidptr, and simplenation for the links back to our comic's site, although simplenation, those ads feed us, so click the first one. :-)
  • alej744, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1I, for one, welcome our iPhone overlords.
  • broomett, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I have my iPhone with me? So, this awill apply to about 34 people come June?
    • cruzer555, on 12/26/2007, -0/+0My iphone is in my pocket right now!!! Iphones rock!!!!
  • Reines, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Mirror: http://images.xnr.be/dab13e7be22783ff910d2f648df14bc4.gif
  • robshoy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Very awesome. And very true. I can't see the iPhone ever being used practically. Having said that, I should also mention that the iPhone is probably the sexiest thing to grace this Earth since multi-colored lava lamps.
  • DamageInc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17buried for using imageshack
  • psygnisfive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This would NEVER happen! The movies ALWAYS plays in wide screen on the iPhone. Clearly he would be saying photos, instead.
  • FireJ, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3buried for using imageshack times two
  • TonyTheTerrible, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7burried for using imageshack
  • astrosmash, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8buried for using
  • ic00, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15 min 38 sec later...
    >911, a lady has fallen and can't get up...
    police: do you know iPhone has conference call feature? Let me show you...umm, good question, how do I set it up? Let me call Cingular first and I will set you up a conference call with paramedic...
  • FrankHowley, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Funny
  • pawanawaits, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0really funny
  • Youssif, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1OMG ,, hehehehe !
    Are we're going to wait ~ 1 year to have this thing ?
  • Sc0rian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1lol thats great
  • CaptainFuture, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Imageshack and people who submit links to imageshack pics suck balls. Buried.
  • Adrianc333, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3If the iPhone, was produced by MS, this would have never got to the front page.

    Most of Digg is Apple Fan Boys.
    • jordandiggsit, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Thats because if the iPhone was produced by Microsoft it would suck and no one would care about it...
    • MacParrot, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Maybe, you should learn the, proper use, of commas, O,K,?
  • ownage, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Buried because of the bandwidth overage postings
  • z999, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6STOP UPLOADING TO IMAGESHACK!!! after a few people look at the photo it's removed.
  • Pic0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1then someone mugs him...
  • imthe1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Too late, image has been removed
  • MrWinna, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1As already mentioned, the image is DOWN, talk about ghetto.


    Somone needs to introduce this genius to Flickr.

    -MrWinna
    • OMGWTFROFLMAO, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1"talk about ghetto."

      ...?

      buried.
  • hostilefreak, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Gee, digg is so lame..
  • timvidal, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Only a real fanboy would think that is funny... It is just too ***** gay like emo.. remember its goth for pussies...
  • flag564, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2The true meaning of this cartoon is that a person on the street that needs help is left there so people can look at a 600.00 cellphone?

    Not exactly the image that Apple is looking for.

    • DelMonte, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1flag564:

      It's called humor, you're confused by the fact that Apple fans can laugh at themselves?

      And don't you know that the cheapest iPhone is $500? The fact that you only mention the highest price just shows how dishonest you are.
  • davidlove, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0This is perfect.
