But using the voice dialer is so much fun!

me: "call wife"
phone: "calling pipe"
me: "(^%&^)*("
phone: "calling mom with recorded message (^%&^)*("
me: <screaming> "NO you stupid pile of sand!"
phone: "connecting mom"
me: <throws off headset><scrambles for phone to hit cancel><discovers phone
screen has crashed but can hear mom saying "hello?hello?"><yanks battery and
breaks off back cover tabs in process><then drops battery in coffee cup and
spills coffee on suit> "shit"

And they call it a "smart phone".

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
