    Originally rumors had stated that the iPhone 5 had already started production back in March

    But these new rumors are definitely accurate!

    I wonder if you'll be able to ./configure, make, make install programs written on this small computer? That would make it something worth shouting about...

      I wish Richard Stallman could turn up and defend my corner on this one...

      You probably have a rounded corner. If he showed up, you could be both be sued for violating Apple's design patents. Try using a perfect, 90 degree corner.

      Then say "Linux" three times and he'll show up to correct you that it should be "GNU/Linux." That's how you summon him, right?

    When the hipsters start buying sleeping bags and everyone in the art department at work applies for leave, it's nearing shipping date.

    iPhone slogans:

    Original: a "revolutionary mobile phone" (actually just what Jobs said, not a slogan)
    3G: Twice the speed, half the price.
    3GS: The most powerful iPhone yet.
    4: This changes everything. Again.


    Based on this we extrapolate a few plausible slogans:
    5: This changes everything. Again. Again.
    5: Twice the cores, twice the price.
    5: We don't even need a slogan, you will buy it anyway.
    5: Obsolete in three weeks!
    5: Three hundred ways to hold it, and they all drop calls!
