Borders Going Bye Bye

Nowhere did I say a computer had to let me edit movies. I said that's what I personally plan to do with one.

Perhaps an iPhone is a technically a computer. But it's one that doesn't meet my needs; the needs that other computers do. What shall we call it then? A deficient computer?

Fine. The iPad is a deficient computer. And as soon as it becomes non-deficient and can do everything my desktop and Joe's laptop can do, I'll buy one.

Does that get around your snarky semantics?

The iPhone does have a vibrate mode.
