can't we just call them äppärät's and be done with it?  Because lord knows I'd only use mine to do facial recognition on people I vaguely remember at parties.

Apparently it's crazy easy to make.

I have decided that you are actually a wizard @avclub-75e43c12ef9f1cfdaeae92ca6fa90640:disqus and are just waiting to age into it.
