Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Weird, that, Samsung sounding Korean.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well, the LG Rumor Reflex is not a smart phone, so you can't add apps (or maybe you can add a handfull of apps).

I had an LG Rumor before my iPhone. It was OK for a phone but I hated the touch screen. But now the Reflex has a capacitance touch screen, so it should be better.

This article is kinda' interesting:

As Apple and Samsung dominate, Japan’s tech giants are in a free fall - The Washington Post

Even the Japanese companies’ strengths matter less now, as consumers have lost the willingness to pay a premium for quality. Sharp and Sony and Panasonic make among the world’s best televisions, for instance, but such Korean competitors as LG and Samsung have found ways to make products that are almost as good for far less money.

“In the past there was a huge gap between the best of breed and second best,” said Michael Gartenberg, an industry analyst at Gartner, a technology research company. “Now, maybe there’s still a small gap between a Sony high-definition screen and an LG screen, but most consumers can’t see it. And if most consumers can’t see it, it’s not there.

Huh. I'm going to buy a new TV one of these days, and am leaning towards Samsung.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Is this something that jQuery could handle?

Sorry, that's well past the limits of my knowledge.

This works but can be slow. Using the XSL transformation would (I think) increase performance.

I doubt it will increase performance. I'm surprised you're finding modifying one DOM node in an XML DOM to be slow. How do you measure its performance?

Well, it's more like dozens or hundreds of DOM nodes. With three or more levels of looping.

How do you measure its performance?

With JavaScript alerts before and after all the looping.

With hundreds of nodes I could imagine XSLT might be faster, but I'd think JavaScript would be pretty fast too.

What browser are you using to measure performance? Chrome has some profiling tools that might help you figure out if you can make the JavaScript code fast enough.

I'm using IE 8. The application is IE-only. We've done a fair amount of JavaScript optimization already.

JavaScript on IE 9 is supposed to be faster (or was that 8?) but our client hasn't upgraded to IE 9 yet.
