Apple is sexist

People have become so whiney, stupid, and useless these days I wonder just how much longer before the entire planet shuts down. I just e-mailed Toyota that I cannot drive my new car with boxing gloves on so it must have been badly engineered.

IMO, the iPhone doesn't accommodate people with big thumbs either, so the sexist thing seems kind of ridiculous.

I know quite a few users of the iPhone...those that text a lot have scrapped them.

It's a flashy 'club/bar' phone though.

I remember being at a bank once and watching as a woman with fairly long fingernails struggled to type on an ordinary keyboard. This was a major component of her job, every day, and yet she kept the fingernails.

Apparently standard keyboards are also sexist.

Solution: Cut your damn fingernails, and stop complaining about how your luxuries impinge on your precious lifestyle.

Why do women need an iPhone to make dinner or do laundry? Unless they use it to find an awesome lasagna recipe for me.

I love this:

Many iPhone owners say that one of the iPhone's best traits is its ability to function without a stylus -- the often-misplaced mini-chopstick required by the Palm Pilot and other hand-held gadgets.

I think I've used the stylus for my Treo about 5 times total. Most of the time I just tap the screen with my fingers. Dunno why they think that the stylus is required.
