'These kind of "ship" parties are common throughout the industry,' explained Microsoft communications VP Frank Shaw. 'It's a great way for teams that have worked overtime to create a kick-ass product blow off steam and have a little fun.'"

    Tasteless, indecent. I will declare this day the Burn-a-Windows-Phone day. Guess that may incite a revolution in the customer support, office worker afraid that their phone would inflame when they don't call 10 others.

    We know what this 11 Sept stands for: Violence.
