He sounds like a narrator you'd expect in a parody of a commercial like this. At first I thought it was a parody because of his voice.

We can't have Stephen Fry narrate everything, even though it would immediately make whatever you were watching far more epic.

On a 3 year plan you'll only play $978 for that phone. $2100 with no plan.

sex with regular people will become so vanilla and boring whenever we come up with the holodeck. can you imagine the bizare scenarios you can enjoy with this technology?

every saturday id watch the jets win the cup, then, after the presented the cup to me and the other players sara jean underwood would come out on the ice and id plow her while everyone cheers me on.

sex with real people would become banal and for reproductive purposes only.

My thought is that there should be a requirement that before you use this technology each time, you have to say:

Go go gadget - SCREEN!

In all seriousness, Apple already has a patent on this.

I wonder what the life expectancy on the actual screen is with it always shape shifting, especially for chronic texters/emailers?

Wouldn't it start losing its form and elasticity fairly quickly? I suppose with technology evolving the way it is, an individual rarely keeps a phone longer than 2 years or so...
