Things from the Internets, 8/25

• Hey Apple – You’re not the boss of freakin’ everything. Just because you made a phone that’s rectangular and thin and has a button doesn’t mean that other people can’t do the same.

evaluate me. please.

Hey guys. First, thanks for reading. Last I checked there were at least 11 people that read this mess regularly. Second-of-ly, I would be very happy if anyone would comment, like, on anything. Ever.
