Comments on: Arrival of iPhones greeted by 'armed guards'

Security was reportedly tight as the iPhones get ready to make their stateside debut this Friday.

The Zune

There wasn't any security needed when the Zune was released.

Microsoft's Counter to iPhone Firday

I heard Microsoft will be trying once again to steal Apple's
thunder on iPhone Friday by running a "What's Wrong With The
iPhone?" contest. The first person who writes in making a valid
point in the opinion of the Microsoft judges will receive a free
Zune. Steve Ballmer said that he anticipates giving away
1,000,000 free Zunes to these first place finishers during the
contest period which lasts nine hours starting at 6:00pm Eastern
Daylight time on Friday June 29th. But what if you aren't the first
person who makes a particular point to the Microsoft judges that
criticizes the iPhone? Don't worry! The second place prize is two
Zunes.

Hype!

Way to make a mountain out of a molehill, Apple.

This is all just to further increase the hype for the iPhone release, it's completely unnecessary and there's no good reason for it.

(I made an account just to post this "talkback".)

Huh?

You think it is silly for APPLE to have security for its most
anticipated product as it travels through our ports where a lot of
things just "fall off of trucks"? On top of that, you felt strongly
enough that you needed to post about it? Lol... ok. You don't like
APPLE, I get it. I promise, there isn't any cyanide in the koolade, lol.

Seriously, nobody cares.

The "Gift of Fear" in the title refers to the intuitive ability of human beings that allows them to detect danger quickly, without conscious, logical thought. There's some good stuff in the book about how to recognize intuition, and also (in the very last chapter) how to distinguish real fear of real dangers from worry about hypothetical dangers. If you enjoyed reading The "Gift Of Fear" i recomend reading Gavin De Beckers new book " Just 2 Seconds". I was intrigued by the title ?Just 2 Seconds? and having read DeBecker's "Gift of Fear" couldn't wait to read his insights on this fascinating subject. "Just 2 Seconds" did not disappoint. Within a few sentences, I found myself hooked. This book provides numerous insights on protecting public figures. I've recommended this book to many friends and each has agreed with my assessment. If you're in the protection, security, or law enforcement business, this book is a MUST HAVE! Gavin de Becker, Tom Taylor and Jeff Marquart understand the topic and present the material in a way that the reader can easily understand and digest!
