The article I read was about the guy who put it in his back pants pocket and 
sat on it for an hour driving to work.  Couldn't understand why it was bent 
when he got there.

I mean, it is long and thin, so he sits on it,  and then looks surprised.

The sort of intellegence suggesting they aren't up to having such a device.

Daa!  R.

My newly-arrived iPhone 6 Plus seems perfectly robust.  I love it.  What's 
all the whinging about?  You'd have to go mad at it to bend this.

As to the new stuff, well, I'll have to save up for anything new, but I 
think it likely I'll be staying put regardless.  My earnest wish, should I 
ever have the good fortune to get it, would be a top-spec Mac Pro for all my 
server and virtualisation duties; then I could give up on hounding the Minis 
all the time.  The iMac--despite the fact that I keep plugging in optical 
drives, I'll keep my mid 11.  iPad--nah, time to step off that bandwagon, I 
fancy, and not just because the iPhone 6 really is big enough for my needs. 
The current full-sized iPad Air is just fine, and I don't need anything 
else.  The watch can wait until it's proven.  So really, the Mac Mini, if I 
don't cast it aside and keep saving up for a Pro, which Apple is well within 
its power to ensure doesn't happen.

Much as I love Apple products, I happen to agree with those who worry about 
the incremental nature of recent announcements.  Not sure what the problem 
is there; perhaps Apple should go back to touting functionality rather than 
specs, which is always a losing battle for Apple nowadays.  And their costs 
too; something needs to be done about those, or else Apple will end up in 
the same place with iOS as it is for the Mac ecosystem, which is actually 
showing some gratifying growth.  Now that Windows 9--sorry, 10--is 
announced, with Windows 7-compatible metaphors, it remains to see whether 
that trend will continue, or whether it wasn't just the Windows 8 escapists 
gasping for a quick breath of usability.  It'd be the ultimate irony if 
Micros~1 failed yet again, and Mac gained market share not because of some 
intrinsic superiority, but simply that the alternative was much worse. :)
