Saw this ad on here for the HTC Touch or whatever it's called...

...How the hell do you genetically engineer a phone?

You sit around in nice suits in glass-walled offices and throw around stupid but impressively-sounding pseudo-scientific marketing phrases about bits of plastic and metal, solely intended to appeal to gadgetboy and his wallet.
 
Phone will emit a pheromone which causes altered selective breeding. The next generation will have thumbs only 1/32" in diameter, but completely prehensile.
 
It's just marketing, some people will hear "Genetically engineered for your thumbs" and say "Well honey, it's the best in the market because it Genetically engineered." Thus HTC touch is sold to the clueless masses, who forgot what genetically engineered means.

Or they'll say, "GENETICALLY ENGINEERED? They must be crossing fish genes with our phones now! How dare they mess with nature!" And boycott it.
 
Maybe they have cut the thumb from the phone. Meaning, that you, instead of having to use your thumb to push the answer key, you just have to think answer in your head. 🙄 (assuming our brains all emit genetically different electric frequencies).

The future is going to kick ass!

It's going to kick something, but what it is has yet to be determined.

Maybe what they mean to say is that they secretly cloned an army of Steve Jobs (or anyone else who can actually make an appealing phone)? 😱
 
So it's "genetically engineered"?

The question is, is it "genetically superior"?!

Haha! Look at the iPhone then look at the HTC...

"You my man, are genetically superior!" Man I love Brucie!

You missed the most relevant part - the 'brainstorming collective' notes were taken on Macs 😉
