I was recently reading some commentary about the new iPhone. Some users (or perspective buyers) were commenting that they were really bummed about the new iPhone. Now granted, this is probably a figure of speech and it doesn’t really reflect their mental state, but when I read things like these I have to take a step back.

There are people out there that are genuinely bummed about ford not having X in their cars, or Dell not throwing in Y in their laptops, or Apple not including features A, B, C in the new iPhone, but my response to them is “get a grip!” Seriously! Think about it, it’s just a consumer product! If it doesn’t do what you want it to do, then don’t buy it! Wait for version x.x when they will incorporate what you want it to have!
If you want to be bummed about the financial crisis, food shortage, health crises around the world, the by all means be bummed, but don’t be bummed about something as insignificant as “no MMS on the iPhone!” Jeez!
