  8. "I cannot believe that this “bent iPhone 6 Plus†thing is becoming a thing. Watch this jackass’s video — inexplicably promoted by Time magazine. Should not we be amazed that his phone didn’t snap in half under this pressure? That the glass didn’t fracture? Under pressure like this, bending but not breaking seems like an extraordinary feature. If you feel pressure like this on your iPhone 6 in your pocket, you need looser pants. And if you put your phone in your back pocket and sit on it, I’m not sure what to tell you." “Now, it’s bent iPhones. Because someone didn’t realize that, when you sit on something, there’s this thing called physics that says that, when there’s enough pressure on something, it will either bend or break. And, now, lots of websites are showing videos of them bending iPhones. As if it’s worth the cost of on iPhone to get a bunch of mindless people to watch a video of an iPhone getting bent.†“Any phone made of metal is still subject to the laws of physics, but to reiterate that this isn’t exactly a problem exclusive to the iPhone 6, here’s a look at other Android and Apple phones that have bending problems,†Buster Hein reports for Cult of Mac. “Samsung’s phones are dominated by plastic, but it’s new metal-friendly Galaxy S4 devices are prone to bending in pockets too. XDA forum user Phonage reports his Galaxy S4 bent when he put it in his front jeans pocket.†“Many Sony Xperia Z1 users reported their metal frame mysteriously bent for no reason at all after being left in rear pockets. One unfortunate CrackBerry user posted pics of his Q10 that never fell but is bent. ‘I’ve no clue what happened .. I’m so pi**ed.’ Other BlackBerry owners in the forum thread reported seeing similar bendings.†Here’s the recipe for iPhone FUD: 1. Identify an issue that all other smartphones have (i.e. cellular antenna attenuation, screens that can be scratched with materials that are harder than the screen, metal casing that can be scratched with materials that are harder than the metal casing, phishing easily-guessed passwords from people who fail to utilize two-factor and other provided protections to obtain photos taken with smartphones from online storage, metal cases that bend under extreme force, etc.) or concoct an issue which has no factual basis at all (i.e. iPhone 5c, which outsold all other non-iPhones on the planet, is a “failure.â€) 2. Important: Pretend that issue is only attributable to Apple’s iPhone. Feign “concern.†3. Make goofy videos using iPhone only to illustrate this issue that all other smartphones have. Continue to feign “concern.†4. Blow said issue wildly out of proportion via the media echo chamber with much wringing of hands. 5. After Apple’s iPhone destroys you in premium smartphone sales, wonder why your iPhone FUD failed yet again. http://www.cultofmac.com/297404/get-bent-shocking-history-bent-smartphones/ http://macdailynews.com/2014/09/24/if-bending-is-all-apples-iphone-6-plus-rivals-have-left-theyre-roadkill http://daringfireball.net/linked/2014/09/23/get-bent http://www.mcelhearn.com/the-iphone-bends-so-what/

  18. Some really bad news for my Bruno. About two weeks ago he started drinking a lot of water and lost his appetite. Took him to the vet last week, they've checked his urine, found it to be very diluted. They've checked the blood on Thursday last week and found the calcium level very high. Today it was taken in for abdominal ultrasound and chest X-ray. They believe to be spleen cancer They've decided to keep him in today and give hime some fluids and do some more not so invasive tests, some new blood test stuff that is being trialled at the moment. The house seem deserted without him. I came back from RT-Peformance this evening, he wasn't there to greet me and jump like crazy when I come home
