Canadian Researchers Create Thin-Film Flexible Paperphone

fergus07 writes "Researchers from the Human Media Lab at Canada's Queen's University have created a fully-functioning floppy E-Ink smartphone, which they also refer to as a paper computer. Like its thicker, rigid-bodied counterparts, the Paperphone can do things like making and receiving calls, storing e-books, and playing music. Unlike them, however, it conforms to the shape of its user's pocket or purse, and can even be operated through bending actions."

    What's this? 200++:1 odds of others thoughts and opinions from this forums vs. your mere no PHD in English trolling goof's "unprofessional opinion"?

    No. "Say it ain't so":

    But... it is!

    Right up there in black & white. U? "U Got 'P L A Y E D!'", & you only played yourself by trolling others first for no reason.

    I mean, who are YOU, anyhow, as far as telling anyone how to write and most importantly, if you are outnumbered here by 200 to 1 odds against you from some of the people here which is one of the most highly literate and rated forums out there there is, with the largest crowd registered (many are multiusername trolls though) of which that crowd's members said quite otherwise, vs. your "opinions" (thinly veiled word for your trolling)?

    Even IF you had a PHD in English for Pete's sake, because in case you hadn't noticed? The topic was not about that. There is also no such forums here, for that either.

    Above all else, if you had a PHD in English, you should be able to understand words within the framework of the context wherein they are used, and "catch the drift", not henpeck - it's not a class for a grade in academia here, not a job thing, not a legal document we write here. Get it?

    So, gee, after that? Well, do You know what THAT, makes YOU? A troll. The lowest of the low. End of story.
