I was just kidding you, because the story was obviously only worth reporting due to that connection between iOS6 AND Cupertino.

Folks don't seem to notice that this a so-called 'polemic' - a piece that intentionally uses exaggerations, biases, and black&white. It's a totally legitimate way to get an irksome point across passionately. The author has even infused some humor.

Not as long as your IP points to that trailer park in Mississippi...

A man has to have an opinion on weapons! And booze. And Lego.

So, NSA folks have to use Android tablets?

This comes to mind...

The beer-stein is what you should look at!!! Sheesh...

Because 11 is a wicked number, a harbinger of disorder, and symbol for the fall from grace. One more than the 10 commandments - what hubris! One less than the 12 apostles - what a failing!

Well booyyy, you act'ally have to sniff it, not draave past it in your air-conditioned heavy-dudy truck!

Your elaborate explanation has crushed my held-dear belief that they just put in a good measure of black powder to make it look good.

It should read either 'Velocitas eradicat' (speed roots out), or…

Hypocrite! Obviously you do have time to golf...

Bwwahahaha...

Hairdo? Heck, you've tasted freedom on the road, and all else doesn't matter...
