iPhone 4 released in Canada

So big news today.  The iPhone 4 has been released in Canada, you heard it here first folks!   What amazes me during these product launches are the mass hysteria that comes upon the techno junky crowd.   What is the world coming to when we line up for technology but we won’t line up for food?  Is the need to have the latest tech that powerful that you...
