I’m for the most part interested to see what you choose to blog Scott, whether it be tech/art/sf bay area goodness but I can see where Giantmonster (AKA Grumpypants) is coming from on this.

The apple PR assault machine is just freaking EVERYWHERE in my hood, in my online experience, in my BRAIN (against my will by the way). The last thing I could possibly find of interest is how apple pachkages it’s next doodad.

Giantmoster, like most bloggers I post about things that interest me and in my case, specifically in the areas of art, culture and technology. The iPhone is one of them. Also, fair warning, I’m sure there will be other products and technology that I will write about here that you will not like. My suggestion, skip those posts or if the blog is no longer of interest, then skip that as well. You have that freedom.

Also, I’m not sure where you got the idea that I was given an iPhone. If that were the case, I would have said so, but I’m no David Pouge or Walt Mossberg.

i have to agree with phil andre. i love laughing squid for all of its art and culture posts. but i completely loathe the growing increase in posts that are at best product commercials via skilled soft marketing giveaways and consumer hype/propaganda. i see this trend on a lot of websites, and i can’t scroll past these kind of posts fast enough. it’s not about technology; it’s about product promotion around a consumer-driven sense of culture (and that sucks). our lives are inundated with such consumer hype enough as it is. if content or news becomes just a repackaged commercial, why would i want to read it? i can go to any generic engadget-type website to learn about the wonders of an iphone will bring me. it’s everywhere. make it stop. i love laughing squid. but posts heralding the next new shiny thing make me want to visit this site less and less.

okay, captain mc-crabby cakes signing out.

Thanks, Scott, for responding to my comment.
My mistake, I should have asked: Just point-and-shoot and/or some professional lighting setup used?

Are you kidding? You’re posting photos of your Iphone being taken out of its box? I suppose it’s slightly better than a cabbage patch doll, but this dysfunctional consumerism is still nothing but sad and pathetic. I hope you all are at least getting paid by Apple for helping them power their hype machine.

Hey Scott, nice pics. I added one and a link to the Tangler user group.

Also keen to see how close Tangler is to earning a spot in the coconspirators list.. I’m back late July. See you then.

Nice! I stood in line for an 8G model on Friday. Received 2/3 the content as you. Here in Austin the AT&T stores were only giving the phone without manuals and stickers. Assuming since you picked one up from an Apple store the experience is better/different.

I remember when I got my 12″ Powerbook years ago. I really didn’t think I was going to do the product unboxing photos because I hadn’t on previous Mac occasions, but the drive was so strong, I had to. And of course now I have a record of the exact date and time I got my Powerbook.

And so you know, I wore my Laughing Squid T-shirt to the launch at the Apple Store in the Houston Galleria. Alas, I don’t have an iPhone, but I went because, well I’m in the cult and I wanted to be there at 6 pm.

Canon 5D, shot handheld. My EXIF data for each photo is on Flickr. Honestly, product shots are a pain and I’m never really happy with what I shoot.

Nice, professional-looking pictures. Just point-and-shoot or some professional setup used?
