I think Gruber's dead wrong

Reading this article on Ben Charny's...analysis...of how "flash" memory is going to make the iPhone better able to play "flash" video...

Obviously, it's going to be used by the porn industry to help "Flash"-ers.

what?


It's no stupider than Charny's theory.

I think you're both wrong. Clearly, Apple wants the iPhone to be able to take better photos in dim light -- what better solution than FLASH! memory?

You idiots! It's obviously going to allow people to:

1) wear a revealing red Lycra™ suit;
2) move, think, and react at superhuman speeds;
3) change their name to Barry Allen.

Wearing wings on your ears is *SO* 1950s.

John, John, John. Please, you have clearly misunderstood Apple's goal here. It's very obvious that, come Monday, they are going to launch a clothing store over the iPhone that sells leg warmers and off the shoulder sweatshirts. The extra flash memory is for the iFlashdance Clothing Store (iFCS.) You heard it here first.

Oh man Ben Charny missed something big. I just fully read through the patents and found reference to "a small reservoir that will allow the traveling user a method to 'Get their sexy grove on' without relying on an external source of water. There will be an access port based on ISO standards that allow third parties to both provide an add on reservoir and, in the future, nozzle options."

iFCS is go!

Jesus Wept! I thought I was ignorant.

I think if this stuff about flash memory "wearing out" if you write to the same address too frequently, I think it will be a "Flash in the Pan™!"

Jeez, I am ignorant! I left out "is true" between my hypothesis and my conclusion!

Are you disagreeing with john gruber or with ben charny? The way I read john gruber's post is making fun of ben charny. I think john gruber is agreeing with you.
