Fuck Your Apple Announcement Hype
Ashley Feinberg · 09/09/15 03:56PMIn a post from a few days ago that could just have easily been written at any point over the past seven years, Mashable proclaimed that Apple might be working on a thinner iPhone.

But that absence of connection hasn't stopped Jandali from defending his son's products—and, in a sense, his legacy—from the oppressive Syrian government, which has banned iPhones to keep people from filming killings and other atrocities being committed by local authorities.
Look at the Pathetic iPhone Nerds, Says Rival
Seth Abramovitch · 11/24/11 02:16AMFinally, an iPhone competitor has figured out a way to, if not quite level the playing field, at least get a few cheap shots in at Apple's expense: This Samsung smartphone ad is extremely petty about the kind of person who waits in line to buy an iPhone.

Our love affair ends here.)
