Man Lines Up Over A Month Early For The iPhone 5 (But Mostly For Attention)
Each time a new iPhone is set to hit the shelves, I get my pre-order in nice and early. Waiting in line is for chumps, right?Then Launch Day Eve rolls around, and I end up carting myself off to the Valley Fair Apple Store and camping out for 14+ hours anyway. Not for the product, mind you " it's more so to surround myself with eccentric people and see what the hardcore early adopter/Apple fanbase looks like. You know, for science or something. Friends and family call me crazy. "You're going to sleep in a mall?!" they'll say. "For a whole night?!" as if Valley Fair transforms from a posh shopping mall to an in-door version of the streets of Compton as soon as the sun goes down. I've got nothing on this guy, though. He's already in line (outdoors!) for the iPhone 5 (which, by the way, hasn't actually been announced yet, but isn't expected to launch for at least a month), and has turned his would-be time-wasting into an entrepreneurial experiment of sorts.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/z3xNcDAlokE/
