If this nonsense continues, I may just go back to my home planet!

My home planet has been destroyed.  I'm never going home again.
 
 

 
Jesse , Oh man , I'm so sorry to hear about your interplanetary troubles ...
I know from my own personal experience that being a Citizen of The Universe can sure have it's ups and downs when the Interplanetary Powers That Be keep changing the Interplanetary Immigration Laws   
 
Well OK , now that you are here , what do you want to hear first? ... the good news ? or the bad news?
The good news is , while you are here on Earth , "We the people of Earth " will tolerate the wreckage of your presence .
Oh BTW,  It may also interest you to know that your home planet hasn't been destroyed after all ...
They only told you that because once you left your home planet they decided to cloak the planet with an invisibility shield and move it to an undisclosed new location in a Far Distant Galaxy that has yet to be discovered....
 
hang in there kid we are all pulling for you  ,

So... what I'm gathering from this enlightening conversation is this.
 
If you have an iPhone and go out one night and meet a girl....and save her phone number into the phone...and then proceed to get knee crawling drunk... then decide to call her up the next day, but you're still pretty schloshed from the night before.... and you try several times to unlock the phone to retrieve the number... but being inebriated, you blow the attempts... then lose count as one might do, and try again several times... at the magic 10th try... you will brick wall the phone and everything gets deleted and no one on the planet can help you? 
 
Sounds like a diabolical plan to sell more iPhones.
 
 
All joking aside.... keep the govt out of our affairs as much as possible.... enforce some other laws that are currently on the books but being ignored and we would have less of this kind of chicanery (terror attacks and crime) in the first place.

 

 
Herb,
 
WOW ,I think that every ex girlfriend and ex wife in the world would be pushing for a phone app that could do that.
Once a guy goes from Hero to Zero with confirmed Ex status , he only get 10 calls before he gets locked out for good .
Who knows , who ever comes up with that phone app may Win The Nobel Peace Prize for affecting a positive Global Social Change in human relationships ...
I don't know how many times when I was drinking  I showed up home sloshed with a case of the spins after last call .
Then I would get on my land line and call the "ex's " (real and imagined )  at least ten times well after  4 O Clock in the morning  whilst I was in the middle of a crying Jag

Why confuse the issue with facts?   

No kidding!  Why have a coffeehouse if we can't just make **** up and lie to each other? 

"In related news, the Government has determined that all of their data will be moved to iPhones since they evidently are the most secure..."

The letter Apple's CEO sent to employees this morning. It is well written.

"In related news, the Government has determined that all of their data will be moved to iPhones since they evidently are the most secure..."

One reason lots of governments, including the US, choose to go with Blackberrys rather than Apple phones is that iOS7 and earlier versions of iOS lacked the necessary data security if they were lost or stolen.

So Apple took the hint and introduced what governments insisted they needed...

UPDATE: We seem to be in the minority on this one. A newly-released poll (from the Pew Research Center) shows that a majority of Americans think Apple should cave to the FBI.
 
Included in that majority is our own hometown hero Bill Gates, as well as Level 12 nerd-hero The Woz and anti-government hero Edward Snowden. Three people whose opinions I respect, and they all disagree with me! Unsettling.

It's all part of the conditioning before the New World Order.  Be good little sheep.
