"...thus creating iFace".
And if they subsequently buy Palm they can create iPalm.
That would allow iTards to then iFace-iPalm when appropriate.
How (i)Nice (R).
<== Finally settled on Smiley here, rather than Joke Alert or Troll, but boy! was it a hard decision.

I don't see him in any of these categories.
Although tbh I have seen one or two posts that were comprehensible (mostly).
Oh, another one just popped up: what about off-topic replies (or replies to clearly very different topics - I always wondered about those)?
"...productivity would be through the roof".
Nope - everything would come to a grinding halt. We had a couple of outages at my previous employer (where I did desktop support/server admin/network maintenance and troubleshooting).
When I noticed everyone was sitting around, drinking coffee and playing solitaire, I asked why they were not working (out of curiosity - we had been outsourced to another company, so technically it was none of my business), only to be told that they cannot do anything or communicate with anyone, since the network is down.
So I said "How did we work five years ago, before we had e-mail?"
It just never crossed their minds that they could still call on the phone and send faxes.
Tbh, some people really did not appreciate that.
What a brilliant exposition of ad-speak!

My wife has stopped banking cash a long time ago, as the banks charge her an arm and a leg for handling cash. Creditors are now paid cash as far as possible, whilst sudry expenses are also paid in cash.
I think banks have already cottoned on to the fact that people do not like paying extortion fees, that is why they are pushing other, safer (at least for them, as they are guaranteed an income) methods of payment.
<---- Evil banks/bankers, of course.
