The North Denver News reports that Thomas Martel, 28, of Bonnie Brae, Colorado recently underwent “whittling” thumb surgery to better enable him to use the iPhone.
Thomas Martel, 28, of Bonnie Brae is a big guy. So he has a hard time using the features on ever-shrinking user interfaces on devices like his new iPhone. At least, he did, until he had his thumbs surgically altered in a revolutionary new surgical technique known as “whittling.”

Idiot.

I wonder if he died if his family would have a case against apple... oh no wait, apple would win because the patient was obviously psychotic. ugh.

That said some folks could use some whittling on their tongues.
What's the point of having text message then...

I can access my voice message via a pop up vs. dialing in for the 'real deal'.
Text messages would still have a place just like telephones have not gotten rid of letters.
I don't get it
by Nicholas Buenk - 8/14/07 6:53 PM In reply to: Functionality by Renegade KnightJust leave a voice mail if you don't want to type.
Just came across this
