This capacitive touch screen is New And Improved! Why use a laggy, jittery, limited old-fashioned screen when you can have 22" of gleeming silky smooth goodness under your fingers. Some users liken this luxury experience to "getting a massage". You'll effortlessly glide across this screen, making powerful decisions with pinpoint accuracy! You'll hit the sweet spot every time. And you know that's what the ladies really want. Don't be the last one to get this! We're taking orders now -- Have your credit card ready. "It's the silkiest!"
I demand the sum of...one point five TRILLION dollars!
Okay no problem. Here's my second plan. Back in the 80's, I had a market game-changing machine that was, in essence, a sophisticated heat beam which we called a "laser." Using these "lasers," we punch tiny pits into a layer of plastic around a compact disc, which we scientists call a "polycarbonite layer"....
Perhaps the real problem is that all the flash lights disturb the other guests in the restaurant.
Yes, but perhaps the REAL problem is that restaurants don't like customers sharing (often unflattering) reviews of their establishment on the web. Especially sites like Yelp. Curtailing cameras may be seen as a way to discourage the more hardcore restaurant bloggers.
Micrometeorites have pitted the nameplate on the probe, and the "2" now looks more like a "6". Perhaps related to that kind of damage, the onboard communications seems to be glitching: it's dropping some bytes from the data stream and the headers are coming out "Vger" instead of "Voyager". And the most recent transmission consisted of garbage: just the string "TanruTanruTanru" repeated over and over!
Or better yet have other states grow a backbone and have chain gangs set up in northern cold states in the US patching pot holes!!
Fairfax chain gangs fill gaps for cash-strapped DOT

The vest-wearing, lawn-mower-pushing members of Fairfax County's modern chain gang don't look like jail inmates. Well-disciplined landscapers, yes. Orderly weed-whackers, perhaps. But not convicts. There are no chains, no handcuffs, no black-and-white striped jumpsuits. Just a handful of suntanned men wearing uniforms.
But take a closer look, and you'll see the tell-tale signs that these aren't your normal grass cutters -- the faded gang tattoos, the jail-issued plastic ID bracelets, the armed sheriff's deputy patrolling nearby. Still, confusion is inevitable.
"We get a lot of people asking us for business cards, and we have to point to our sheriff's office logo and say, 'Sorry,' " said Sheriff's Deputy Michael Pence, as he watched a handful of inmates mow grass on a recent Friday near a county office building in McLean.

Unless you buy a stand, you need to hold the device with one hand to keep it angled so you can look at it and if your other hand is busy that means you have no way to change pictures, etc.
It's a touch screen device. It is not necessary that you operate it using only your index finger.

Eeeeek! What manner of gigantic monster alien has 20 "fingers" and considers a 22" screen to be an iPod Touch?!?
