 kmakice says: Perhaps this is a design problem. iPhone design or human design? FFS... get a bigger phone or use a pencil! This story is a known hoax. Provide proof it is a hoax. Why do people say things but never provide the proof with their statements? you could have just as easily provided the additional proof to support your statement. http://www.snopes.com/humor/iftrue/iphonethumb.asp I guess losing weight was out of the question. I have big thumbs, but no problems with the iPhone. I suspect someone with big thumbs who has problems with the iPhone has difficulties due to lack of agility, not due to "anatomic overabundance"... I doubt surgery would give anyone additional grace. I don't know, from reading the blog, it sounds like 'anatomic overabundance', is not without some responsibility for the problems operating the iphone. Especially the last line about opening spaghtti sauce jars. I mean, how much agility and grace do you really need to press a button, or slide a screen? Again, the debate is a moot point (U.S. definition). It was a satire printed in a publication known for its spoofs. "Man has thumbs surgically altered to better use iPhone," the North Denver News reported. A Denver man had supposedly gone to a cosmetic surgeon for a procedure known as "whittling," wherein his thumb-bones were shaved down to make it easier for him to push those tiny little buttons. Now here's a newsflash we can really grasp! Here's something we can really sink our fingers into! Tech sites around the Web swiftly picked up this story and repeated it as fact. I dunno, maybe it was the Onion-esque headline. Or maybe it was the fact that the iPhone doesn't have tiny little buttons, or maybe it was the closing quote ("Opening spaghetti sauce jars has been a problem. That was a big surprise.") A... did some quick searches, found this little reply to the story. This one is for you calikoala I can only imagine what the Creator is thinking about stuff like this!!! I agree with michaeldegood, except for that loosing wait thing. Having big hands and being fat are two different things or at least not necessarily related. Poor assumption on your part, especially for something you don't even believe is true. Actually, fingers and hands DO shrink and grow when you gain weight. I've had it happen. Now, whether it is enough to affect one's ability to use a cell phone I can't say. But seriously, it can happen. Would like to see a picture A picture of what, fat hands or Damiera? |
