Somehow this is Tim Cook's fault. Steve Jobs would never have let it happen. Also it proves the inherent superiority of Android over the iPhone. I just haven't quite figured out how yet. I'm sure somebody will, though.

Congratulations! You just won the Slashdot Sourpuss Prize. The award used to be a b.j. from the supermodel of your choice, but we realized you'd just think of something to gripe about it so we quit giving it out. Enjoy your fame.

Sigh. It raises the question. To "beg the question" means something completely different. Here is a simple rule of thumb of when that phrase should be used: never.

Thank you. I've been wondering if I was the only person left who cares.

You'll be able to jailbreak the Samsung smart watch, load a new kernel, hell, even compile your own kernel ON THE WATCH using a complete Gnu tool chain. And you won't have to go to some curated app store to get apps for the Samsung watch. You can get 'em from anywhere. For free! How can Apple's walled garden compete with that? Samsung FTW!

Pick up your clothes/games/tools, etc.
You need to shave/bathe/put on nicer clothes, etc.
Is that all you ever think about?
You forgot my birthday/the milk/to flush, etc.

I can guarantee you that developers who use Java for serious development work never worry about the Ask toolbar.

So, you're blending a reference to the sale of indulgences and the Protestant Reformation with a reference to Jesus' advice to the rich man who wanted to know how to get into heaven?

Quite a mix for one metaphor. I'm awed.

Thus they pay the camel through the needle's eye to stay out of hell.

You know, it's an interesting thing when you consider... the Earth people, who can think, are so frightened by those who cannot: the dead.

Clearly it is the victim's fault for getting their iPhone stolen.

When I was growing up in the 60's in rural North Carolina, I heard it called "dope" or "soda dope." Apparently this was once a common name in the South because Coke was thought to contain cocaine. Here's the Straight...uh...Dope: http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/384/is-it-true-coca-cola-once-contained-cocaine.

This! Just recently (during last year's US election) I received a much-forwarded email filled with bogus claims from a wackadoo friend who explained "I'm not going to check this out at snopes.com because I want so bad for it to be true!"

High five, bro! That's exactly what I do. I usually wander randomly around a store for 30 minutes or more before I pick up the thing I came for. Throws 'em off the scent.

"Always keep 'em guessing!" That's my motto.

The N9 would smash an iPhone the way the Hulk smashed Loki. Pick it up by its leg and fling into the floor, left, right, left, right, leaving iPhone-sized dents in the floor, then grunt "Puny phone" and lumber away.

Of course the iPhone, being a god, would get up, shake itself off, and go on about its business plaguing the earth.
