<p>Only 8 megapixels on the new camera? Ugh, that&#8217;s like only 60% more pixels than the last iPhone.</p>
<p>Only 14.4 megabits per second? More like will take infinity to download forever.</p>
<p>Dual-core processor? Schmuel-core processor. If my hardware doesn&#8217;t instantly give me a hard-on and make me orgasm with 10 seconds or less, I call bullshit.</p>
<p>iCloud will help me sync all my files from my computer to my wireless device?  Yeah, too bad it has a stupid name.</p>
<p>I mean, all I wanted an AI program that would anticipate my every want and need. That could comfort me when I&#8217;m ill-eased, that could support my decisions without being overbearing, that could whisper sweet nothings into my ear and make me feel like I&#8217;m still worth something to somebody even when I get fat. But I all I got was <a href="http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2011/10/ios-apple-assistant-iphone-5/">Siri</a>, a voice-controlled, language-deciphering virtual assistant that is essentially a verbal Google that will open the appropriate applications for you. But the program is still in Beta, so it&#8217;s totally useless.</p>
<p>Sure, the phone is now available on Sprint, Verizon and AT&amp;T, but what about all those other two carrier networks? It is my God-given right to be able choose a crappy service provider because I am a tax-paying American. Bless me.</p>
<p>When will my phone cook my dinner, pick my kids up after school, and simultaneously shiatsu massage my feet and nipples? For $200, why isn&#8217;t Barack Obama personally serving this phone to me on a white plush pillow, with golden tassels, alongside all his broken hopes and dreams?</p>
<p>Pox and boils upon your <a href="http://mashable.com/2011/10/04/apple-stock-falls/">stocks</a>, Apple! May your contracts be cancelled. May your warehouses burn. May Steve Jobs get canc&#8230;</p>
<p>Oh wait. Awkward.</p>
<p><a href="http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone">Pre-ordering f</a>or the iPhone 4S begins online October 7.  It will available in stores on October 14, starting at $199.</p>
<p>[<em>10/05 edit:</em></p>
<p><em>Steve Jobs passed away today from pancreatic cancer today at the age of 56.  While the tasteless joke made previously will not be removed due to Clantily Scad&#8217;s commitment to anti-politically correct humor and satire, I would like to take a serious moment to tip my blogger hat to Job&#8217;s tenacious leadership for remaining CEO of Apple as long as he did and his countless contributions to technological development.</em>]</p>
