    I don't know about that article, but my neanderthal boss just got a Blackberry.

    Really? Most of them use iPhones, from what I understand.

    That reminds me of this time I went into an apple store (it wasn't voluntary, I was with somebody and they insisted) Of course the salespeople are all perky and happy, people say it's because they find working with apple products so fun and rewarding, I say it's because they are all on drugs. Anyways, of course the person I was with wanted to check out the new iPhone (this was some time ago) so he's talking about the features, and he says "and no matter what you want, if you can think of it, there's an app for it".

    I of course said "Time Travel"? Being that that would be a particularly cool App, and being Apple clearly the laws of quantum mechanics are no barrier to their absolute coolness.

    I was met with dismay when, contrary to what he had said immediately before, there was in fact no app for time travel.


    I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

    Actually, the Neanderthal did ask me to get him an iPhone while I was in the US earlier this month, then his friend gave him his Blackberry for free because his friend wanted to change to an iPhone. Work at the office has since ground to a halt, and the Neanderthal hasn't put the thing down since he got it...
