Apple iPhone 5: Reviewing the rumors before the debut [LAT]
I heard the Five even tells you that it loves you before you go to sleep, too.
If you forget to set the coffee maker before you go to bed, it’ll take care of that for you.
It’ll scratch that spot on your back that you can’t reach.
It will not think those jeans make you look fat.
It makes a killer risoto.
It’ll let you beat it at chess.
When your’e conversing with a member of the opposite sex, it will vibrate to warn you if you’re being too obvious, or coming off as desperate.
@Serolf Divad:

I’d buy that for a dollar.
Motley Fool’s rumor was that it would be available to all major carriers. Pleasepleaseplease be right for once. When having to choose between sentience and an uninterrupted phone call, I’ll go for the latter.
New migraine meds. They didn’t work at all on Sunday so I doubled up this morning and that appears to be doing the trick … sorta. But now I’m all spacey and drowsy. Not good for a Tuesday morning where much work needs to get done so I have free time this afternoon to handle some volunteer work. Would usually play music or watch something to get the adrenaline flowing but noise is no good for the headache. Laughter helps so I will need pithy and funny comments today to ‘wake up’ as it were.
@TJ/ Jamie Sommers /TJ: I had a massive sinus headache on Friday afternoon that felt like the worst hangover ever. Mrs RML gave me some hot wet washcloths when she came home and that loosened it up. Still, I was basically incapacitated from 6 pm to 2 am.
@matador1015: WSJ reported that Sprint cut a four-year deal for 20+ million iPhones. So that’s three majors.
The score so far: iPhone 4S (not 5), and Sentience Siri, the new voice-command bot that lives inside your phone. Might still be a 5. They haven’t done One More Thing yet.
ADD: And, scene! They’re still offering the 3GS, by the way. For free. On contract. (Yes, “contract”, blah blah blah.) That’ll fan the flames over at Techmeme.

Chris Christie is fat. FAAAAAAATTTTTTT!!!!!
@nojo: You were right on backing up the crotch shots, considering all of the photos on the camera roll will now sync across all iOS devices. Considering the number of iPads in use in business these days, oh, the hijinx that will ensue.
HD kahk shawts for everyone!
