We are currently involved in heavy lobbying to our product designers to create 14k gold replacement screws. They'll be $50 each and strip the first time you try to unscrew them, so they will be perfect for the iPhone. Stay posted.
If you want to get down to it, 2+2=4 only works in a particular mathematical framework whose axioms are drawn from "common sense", i.e. socially and evolutionarily constructed heuristics. There's not many of those axioms, but if you change them - and there are plenty of branches of mathematics that do - you can indeed get 2+2 not equal to 4. No real point here, but it is an issue that has been addressed.
The idea of God as a noninterventionist, nonfalsifiable extra-universal entity is a modern invention in response to (if we go way back) classical determinism. Most people believed - and many still believe - in a directly interventionist deity whose existence can be experimentally distinguished from non-existence.
And don't get me started on your wrong-headed ideas about gender identity.
They believed that wrong model of the atom, and about a half-dozen other models (plum pudding, for example), until data existed that allowed them to figure out which one was right. The experiments which allowed them to trash those incorrect models are celebrated at some of science's greatest achievements.
Well, the concepts (modern biology and classical mechanics) that paint us as talking monkeys on a floating rock also allow us to better understand and cure disease and land on the fucking moon, respectively, which seems to suggest that those ideas are more sane, rational, and explanatory.
This idea that an impersonal universe must be one without warmth, feeling, meaning or justice is one of the great PR success stories of religion. It's complete bollocks though.
"Hell-bent" doesn't mean "bent by hell", it means "bent to hell", as in "directed towards hell". The overall idiom means "fixated on achieving a goal to the extent that it causes one's ruin". This particular usage of the word "bent" has fallen out of favour, but the idiom "hell-bent" hasn't.
FF7 was a perfectly sound spin on FF6's style and mechanics. That FFX - one of the most cinematic and dull instalments - is being remade rather undermines your argument.
The whole point of the scanner is that the 90% of iPhone users who don't even use a code because it wastes too much time, might turn it on because it's convenient.
They're not doing *good* games but you could hardly argue that they aren't focussed on them. It's literally all they do. It's all they expend their resources on.

It's iOS. Nothing is open ten seconds after the phone is locked.
From iFixit's teardown:

Ha ha ha.
No luck on the iPhone 4 either. I wonder if there's some configurational wrinkle that's missing.
You know, because that applies to every security story and adds no specific value to any of them, you just have to say it once and then stop.
Nope, you need to go deeper. They're reporting it from Euronews:

Incontrovertible is a poor choice of word, though, because it literally means undisprovable.
We created old testament God for the same reason we created Batman. He's the hero we think we deserve.
I knew I was forgetting one, thanks.
There is nothing so egalitarian as an indifferent universe.

He means "arbitrary". The two words are heading towards synonymy.
That's the sound I made while watching Prometheus.
It's ancient aliens all the way up.

I don't think that the idea that a trait first arose in an individual is a problem for evolution. That's how traits arise!
The literal meaning of "fanatic" is no less problematic than the literal meaning of "hell-bent".

(Not doing good games is a heck of an overstatement, but let's assume it for the sake of argument.)

IIRC they've implemented this in Dictation on MacOS, so it might not be too far away.
