      that does not matter.

      what matters is that you will not have the most recent version of the iphone anymore.
      you have to buy the new one.

      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!

    But these new rumors are definitely accurate!

    Instead of complaining about the iPad costing a few thousand publishing jobs, why not ask why there are no companies in the US which can do the fabrication (cost-effectively!) on US soil to take over from the Tsunami-damaged areas of Japan...

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

    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?
