Apple Employees Freaking Out Over Release Of iPhone 5

Amazingly, this happens every time there’s a big new release. It’s like the nerdy gusto of Mars Curiosity’s landing team, but with a corporate mandate. (Again, they’re required to do this, so don’t judge them too harshly.) posted on September 21, 2012 at 10:30am EDT

Eh, my friend works there, and even though they have to do that, almost all his coworkers were that excited. Apple employees are among the best treated retail monkeys.
