@Habs: Huh. Either ALL OF YOUS have some kind of bizarre mass pooping fetish...or my specific iPhone is a prude. I'm really not quite sure which is more likely.

@ColbertForPrez:

@Habs: That's how almost all autocorrect features work. But what is more relevant here is the fact that the iPhone (like other autocorrect) is "smart," in that it learns what you want to type by the frequency you use words and cancel the autocorrect. So if you type "pooping" a lot, it'll add "pooping" to the…

@ColbertForPrez: That's weird. I tried it as well, and it doesn't autocorrect at all. Six o's and an h?

So how many times have you written out "pooping" before for the autocorrect to add it to its dictionary?

I can't imagine my rabbits not being completely terrified of such a contraption.

Yeah, that's really funny. Next time I'm at the airport, I'm going to pack a fake bomb in my carry-on, and shout "haha, got you!" when it goes through security. I'm sure TSA will take it really well.

@WestwoodDenizen: Ah yes, I had forgotten the name. Thanks :)

@JackMatt: There's all sorts of weird brain-limb stuff that freaks me out. Among them, phantom limb pain that many amputees suffer from, and a condition where people have an insatiable desire to have a limb amputated; they can often tell with pinpoint accuracy exactly where on the limb they want the amputation to…

@EljhHck: It's real, and nearly incomprehensible if you don't know the counterintuitive mechanism for why it happens.

@twophrasebark: They're all dead. Some of them died before you. Some long after. Many of them at the same time, at a simultaneous mass execution by the State of California.

It's kind of like what happens to the LOST survivors when they finally escape the island (the second time). WTF is the world going to think about them all disappearing together again on another plane, with all of the other passengers dead/missing, and bringing back people who they claimed were all dead the first…

How...how does one arrive at such a conclusion?

So you just name the hero, and then walk away and come back a few minutes later to see if you've won or not? There's potential, but it seems far from realized.

@vestaxwax: Bah, that's a bummer to hear. Hopefully the lappy serves its purpose for you even if it's not quite what was claimed.

@vestaxwax: SSDs are like OLED. When they were introduced, everyone thought they'd be awesome for battery life. But the existing technologies like LCD and HHD are so mature that they've been honed over the years to sip juice. Improvements will come, unfortunately not fast enough for most of us :)

@vestaxwax: Well, battery tests I can understand (how is it tested, what is taxed, which codecs are used for video, etc.). Benchmarks are notoriously ambiguous.

Their transfer policies were a bit ambiguous and deceiving before. I got a new Mac, and had over a year left on my AppleCare. I asked at the Apple Store and they said I could transfer the two years onto the new machine (in the form of a pro-rated refund for one year of use, and a purchase of a new three-year…
