I actually like that 4chan has repurposed the word "fag" to apply to anyone of a demographic (e.g. people from Australia are Ausfags, people who like cooking are kitchenfags, people who play games are gamerfags). It takes a bad word and makes it better. Jude would be proud.

Yes, because non-haptic touchscreens are much more suitable for the blind than physical buttons.

I just said the exact same thing over on that other tech blog. QuickFlix (QwikFlix) is a much better name, as it's more cohesive.

So your solution to crime is to legalise crime?

It's like all of the peripheral manufacturers banded together and decided to prank Apple by not releasing anything until Windows computers had thunderbolt

Tolkien WAS a terrible writer. Too long winded. He was a great world builder, but honestly, 100pages of walking through an inconsequential farm (first lord of the rings book) is not good writing. Hobbit was well written though.

With the exception of dragging an icon to start a new process, this is exactly how WP7 Mango does it. Works well. Doubtless it'll be touted in iOS6 as revolutionary.

Immature jokes, gratuitous and needless use of the f-bomb, and mentioning Apple products for the sake of mentioning Apple products. Yup, it's a Jesus Diaz article.
