iPad funnies

So I got home after you guys had already left, but I had to comment on this:

[17:27] shadowrat: i got a big calculator app. it kind of sucks because you can't spell 5318008 on it.
[17:30] Kermit: what?
[17:30] Kermit: that's just wrong


my comment -> I can't believe they didn't put in an exception to the canRotateView call for when the calculator was displaying that number. I know I would have. (I guess that might be why I don't work at Apple).

I just can't believe that they spent that much time on it. They'll get more press for censoring the number than if they had just let it go.

Kids have been spelling 5318008 on calculators for years.

It's more a case of when you turn it upside down it flips back right side up, isn't it?

[Shadowrat]

they used a fancy font so the numbers don't look like letters upside down.

there is a calculator app for iphone that displays the word censored if you spell anything remotely offensive and tip it upside down.

[Kermit]

That second one is what I thought you were referring to.

Good thing our men and women are dying for our freedoms in far off lands I guess.
