Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

28% market share of what?

"Smart Phones". In the US.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Crap. They're trying to make me want one, aren't they?

I am protected only by the fact that I (a) already have a Touch and (b) have resolved not to shop in 2008.

But if an unfortunate "accident" should befall my Treo...well...I'd be forced to replace it, wouldn't I?

My not-shopping (okay, mostly) is not feeling like enough of a bulwark. Are you saying it would work to buy a Touch in order to keep myself from buying stuff?

Tell ya what, Jessica, if you were to accidentally drop your Treo into an envelope with $20 and accidentally send it to me, I could accidentally test the envelope for suspicious substances with a hammer then send you the pieces and a profound apology...

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Crap. They're trying to make me want one, aren't they?

It's very wantable! I've stopped carrying my laptop everywhere. I less than three my iPhone!

But am I wrong in think this flash based website really sucks, in part because it misuses flash?

I hate hate hate websites in which all the content is in Flash or that force me to watch some dorky intro. I'm in a hurry, people, and I don't want to go through the tortures of the damned to find the location of your business.

The worst of the sites that open to a menu are the ones that just have cryptic pictures and make you move your mouse around randomly until you find links.

By "pieces and a profound apology," can I assume you mean "an iPhone and a $100 bill"?

'Cause I could totally go for that plan.

No, I mean "Here's the pieces of your Treo, sorry, I guess you have to go buy a new phone now, huh? Ha ha."
