h a l f b a k e r yI like this idea, only I think it should be run by the government.

iPhone
Combine those popular new iPods with a phone. Call it the Apple iPhone. | |
Equip it to run various applications and play music and
movies downloaded from the internets. Give it a nice touch
screen interface too.
Plus it could be worn as a hat.
It's THEM. From THERE.

It wouldn't work. When the spy satellites read it, they will increase the power to the mind control rays. |
|
|
Well, maybe somebody could write an application to prevent that. |
|
|
I wanted to say something but I'm not
sure what. |
|
|
Were you going to suggest a built in camera?
Because I was just thinking that. |
|
|
//we must UNTIE under the SAME banner//
already there, brother. I stopped wearing ties years ago. |
|
|
You all laugh now, but go and work in the NSW Public Housing Comission. |

[zen_tom] David Icke is, er, either an impostor or really quite ill. |
|
|
If I spike you, you'll know you've been spoken to. |
|
|
That's almost a Withnail & I quote. |
|
|
The poor CIA, they get blamed for everything. |
|
|
I blame THEM.
I bought one of THEM gadgets...
(THEY sold it to me)
When I got it home, it broke!
I had to call THE GUY to come and fix it.
I think THE GUY is the president of THEM and THEY. |
|
|
you know THEY can read your monitor from a distance. Your neighbors SAY they got satellite TV.... |
|
|
Thanks to this posting, my psychiatrist dosen't want me looking at this site anymore... |
|
|
I'm beginning to think he's one of THEM. |
|
|
Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah! |
|
|
I'm thinking you could play games on it as well. |
|
|
The voices in my head I can deal with. It's the voices in my foot that really disturb me. Because I can't hear what they're saying... |
|
|
I *so* wanted to create a temp account of 'THEM.' just for this. |
|
|
That would have been cooooool. |
|
|
\\in order to gain access to HIDDEN TRUTHS that contain the SECRET of ultimate POWER\\. Why didn't anybody tell me? I should probably go hide. Everyone turn around and count to 10 so interrogation will get THEM nowhere. |
|
|
[lostdog] - is that yours? It made my morning. |
|
|
Turned out to be pretty prescient except for the hat
part. |
|
|
The iPhone was introduced 29 June, 2007. |
|
|
I think the poster should sue Apple. They took his idea to
market in just over 2 years. |
|
|
Apple insists they started developing in 2004. |
|
|
I'm not sure we can trust them though. |
|
|
[-] it'll never fly unless they get the hat thing working. |
|
|
I still
think being able to wear it as a hat was the best part
of the idea. |
|
|
actually the best part is where we get to see what [zen_tom] looks like without the tinfoil hat. |
|
|
You can see the evidence of them hiding the truth - so many links have succumbed to linkrot. |
|
|
I'll put it this way: DON'T feel much, much better
now. |
|
|
(re: poc's link) Well I'll be darned. |
|
|
I'd like to see Steve Jobs's internet history from the later half
of 2005 (although they probably started developing it a year
or 2 earlier). |
|
|
That's right, he saw my iPhone hat idea and said
"Hey, what if I do this, only without the hat part?" |
|
|
Fishbones beat buns by more than 2 to 1. I wasn't even on HB then and I still feel the same way about Iphones. |
|
|
Of course you invented the iPhone, [doc]; here at Camp Teacup we have a word for when inventions are stolen from us: copyripped. |
|
|
"If" I were a conspiracy factist, I'd say that we half-Bakers are the half-Braintrust of the modern world, in the same way that all inventions of any worth in the late 1800s came from our compatriot suit-wearing, perfectly coiffed, be-hatted inventors working in solariums, back gardens, and small-hold outbuildings. |
|
|
Interestingly, HB functions as a registry of our intellectual property; we just need to arrange to be quoted as evidence in lawsuits to prove utility and reliability. |
|
|
I myself invented the UN CitizenShip which is already informally in use, and which I predict will shortly be formalized off the coast of Ukraine. |
|
|
Well I'll tell Apple I'm fully willing to settle out of
court for...
let's see... a donut. Okay, half a donut but that's
my final
offer. I'll take this all the way to the Supreme
Court! |
|
|
Here's my opening argument: |
|
|
"If I may address the ladies and gentlemen of the
court, its esteemed officers, your honors. Imagine
if you will, that I, doctorremulac3, invented the
iPhone. |
|
|
Thank you. I rest my case." |
|
|
<after much consultation> We are fully convinced by the evidence offered that you, [doctorremulac3] did indeed invent the iPhone. <passing of pieces of paper> And as such we sentence you to <shuffling of papers> twenty years imprisonment with hard labour and no reprieve. That is all. Court dismissed. Take him away. |
|
|
Idea posted before I was born. |
|
|
Do I at least get donuts jail? |
|
|
Donut pass Go, donut collect $200. |
|
|
//Do I at least get// No. Add 5 years for impertinence. |
|
|
That's okay. We have incontrovertible evidence of his
innocence. |
|
|
//Add 5 years for impertinence.// |
|
|
Righto, I'll add five years for 'im. Wait; you weren't talking to
me, were you? |
|
|
People ask if I'm ever wrong about anything and I point this out. Once I thought I was wrong in predicting they'd make hats out of my iPhone idea. Turns out I was wrong, they did become a thing. |
|
|
Here's one way to deal with the heartbreak of bonestorms. |
|
|
(All the buns are after the... uh... adjustment.) |
