    Someone keeps emptying cans of lysol in the bathroom near my office. I can fucking taste it in the air. This is totally unacceptable.


    Your sister is clearly cheating. She's using her new white "button" phone to communicate with any number of strange men that are not her current boyfriend/fiancé/husband.


    1. Call her out in front of the entire family this Christmas!


    2. If she denies it, immediately call your niece a liar and refuse to talk to anyone about it.


    3. Get drunk on eggnog


    4. ?


    5. Profit!

    I love stories like this, to be able to see gadgets through the eyes of a child would be awesome...everything would seem like magic. And no fanboy/girl syndrome like we develop as we get older.


    and lol at the disemvoweled posts.

    @homerjay wants Boston Legal back!: Wooooooow. Disemvoweled for THAT. See, thats why you're not Senior Associate Editor or Featured Editor. You're just a lowly Associate Editor.


    That is assuming that the way you have it organized on that sidebar is some sort of editing hierarchy. You keep posting like this an Lam's gonna drop you all the way down to... Oh, I don't know-Columnist. Or worse yet, he's gonna send you over to Consumerist where you'll be sold off to the highest (or only) bidder.


    I still think you're sexy even though you disemvoweled me, Mark.

    @homerjay wants Boston Legal back!: Most of the people that are getting disemvowled aren't even complaining about the topicality, they are simply saying they don't get it...


    I must include myself among their number.

    @OGC: (repeated from the above post)The point is this kid differentiates phones as either (normal) or (with buttons). To her, the cell phone with buttons is antiquated and the touch screen cell phone is normal.


    The photo along with the story accentuates a child's disconnect with ideas that are very familiar to us.


    If this kid thinks that a cell phone with physical buttons are old, what does she think about rotary phones like I was used to when I was young?
