Might even be self deprecating too...

Not referring to the iphone users specifically, but rather the rest of us armchair engineers criticizing the design.

I think for most people, this is a difference without distinction. There may be differences in the engineering definition of stress vs strain, but for the average layman looking at this problem it's essentially the same thing. Either way, Apple failed to account for the stress/strain that an average user would put on the phone.

Yes, I looked at the URL. The key difference here is that the phones of other models that were reported bending were largely "I sat on it" type scenarios (including one asshole who sat on his while it was in a cupholder), while many of the reports I've seen of the iphone 6 have often been in the front pocket. Sure, there were others that said "it spontaneously bent itself" but I'm betting those are "I sat on it, but I really don't want to say that". Yes, all phones bend, and as I qualified if large amounts of stress (or strain as Captain Pedantic in another response would have it) is applied, then they will break and stay that way. My point is that plastic tends to be a more forgiving medium for that kind of abuse than aluminum (or aluminium as another pedant stated).

Other phones bend, but the issue here is that with the iphone's metal case, it doesn't bend back. Plastic, unless subjected to extreme amounts of stress, tends to return to its original shape. Aluminum not so much. The problem isn't the glass, as the phones I've seen bent have glass that is still intact (strangely enough), but rather the metal chassis that Apple has always been so proud of.

Research "The Southern Strategy" with regard to southern republicans.

I blame the lizard people personally. They have the real copy of Barack Obama's birth certificate, and it shows that he is clearly an illegal alien. From another planet.

Well... That went rather far afield...

My son was hit on his bicycle by a car turning left while he crossing the intersection. Funny, how a bicyclist magically became a pedestrian for those circumstances rather than "traffic" and he was ticketed rather than her. She failed to wait for the intersection to clear, but it was his fault because he was on a bike.

Yes, then the family will be drawn and quartered figuratively, for the crime of having murdered these valiant, upstanding officers who were heartlessly slain in the line of duty.

How in the hell did you take an article on power security down this racist rabbit hole? The country is 63% white and 12% black. Where are you seeing that whites are disappearing?

No, what they advertise is unlimited data from the phone. What they don't say is that once you hit 10 gb of 4g download on that "unlimited" plan, you have unlimited edge service. That said, I'm an extremely heavy data user and have only run up against that cap once in the 4 years I've been with them.

I'd be up for some breast and circuses...

This is awesome. It's like seeing Darth Vader turn on the Emperor...

If that were the case, the ruling regarding computers being legal would be invalid. You would have to disregard the computer since the CDRom drive is capable of ripping music. Even given that the entertainment system is capable of ripping CDs, the fact that it's called an "infotainment system" gives the primary purpose right there. Providing information and entertainment. The system isn't marketed as a "CD Ripping system", it's just touted as one possible feature of the infotainment system.
