First of all, I think I made it pretty clear that I was paraphrasing another poster in this thread on the "9 out of 10" statement. Here, I'll even find the original post for you:
"No offense but in the cinemas, before the show starts, 9 out of 10 lit screens are iPhones.
Too common if you ask me."
Page 2, comment by Vince1991.
And secondly, there is no mention of anything about iphones and cinema goers in the link you provided? Did you post the wrong reference link by mistake? Or were you simply trying to mislead?
As for the name calling part, so it was ok for him to be the first one to throw an insult, but when other people retaliate, they need to "grow up"? What are you? His backside buddy coming to his defense?
Also maybe you didn't notice, but I am not the one making assumptions. The person who said "the extra rm600 you pay for iP4 based on specs is for the social status" is. It was a lousy assumption, I pointed out it, and he seems to have taken offense. And that, is what is going on.
So, lesson for you, at least get your bearings right and know what is going on before you start butting in on other people's discussion, yea?

Added on December 21, 2010, 1:17 pmJust a slight comment, but I'm not sure, I don't think there was ever an Iphone2? It was just the Iphone, and then the Iphone 3G?
This goes a full circle back to your "the extra rm600 you pay for iP4 based on specs is for the social status" statement.
Really, I'm curious. What kind of social status does an Iphone confer on its holder?
And you claim that this is the general perspective. By who? Seems like it's just you who is somehow having this fantasy of the Iphone giving its user some kind of social status.
Like I said, that worker in that Boost Juice kiosk had an Iphone. So she has kind of social status because of her Iphone?
And what about the sales "manager" of my previous company, whose daily job includes going to our client's office and sitting in their pantry and bug them until she could sell some of our product to them. I suppose she has some special social status too, because she holds an Iphone?
Anyhow, you go ahead and choose to go on living with this little Iphone fantasy of yours. I just realized that it's not really anyone's loss.
You, Sir, are in fact the perfect market for the Iphone. Please stick with it, and make sure that you are the first in the line when the Iphone5 comes out. Wouldn't want to miss out of the social status now, would you?

Figures talk and bullshit walks. Like I said, grow up
