• Apple: Why did you break my iPhone?
    I understand that the Apple iPhone is the single greatest invention of all time, and no, I’m not exaggerating. Sure, there is the debate that medical equipment is more amazing since it saves lives and all, but think about this: the iPhone can send messages of text from one user to another AND let my fingers become tools of destruction while using birds that are furious at green pigs.
