Tínhamos que ser os primeiros...

Now Steve Jobs will have to learn how to fire people also in portuguese.
São despedidos!
("You are fired!" in Portuguese - courtesy of FreeTranslation.com)
Thank God it's free cause it's just plain wrong.
"Você está despedido!" is the correct way.
That is, indeed, the correct form. I think I should just point out why

: in some romance languages, namely portuguese and spanish, there are actually *two* different "to be" verbs, one for intrinsic qualities and auxiliary use, "ser" (literally, in the "to be or not to be" sense, as in "she's tall"), and another for for the current state of affairs of anything at the present moment or at a given period in time (thus trasmitting a sense of duration), "estar" (as in "How are you" or "the glass is half full").
This makes english-to-portuguese automatic translation virtually impossible, whether free or not. Also, english speakers, be they native or not, usually find this utterly confusing and portuguese speakers, on the other hand, may find english difficult to comprehend at times, as the verb "to be", in english, can only be understood in context. In fact, some ambiguities remain in english which have no counterpart in portuguese as we can say, for example, "she's cute [today]", without having to add the "today" part, whereas an english speaker cannot.
The person should have washed his hands before handling.
I just hope he is not a cook/chef of some kind!
Ahahaha, esperemos que não seja, senão está lixado com a ASAE

[Let's hope he's not, otherwise he'd be in trouble with our very own FDA-like hounds, much mocked by everyone here because they keep shutting down popular but (allegedly) improperly sanitized restaurants — most people just think they're being too anal and that they're also endangering many traditional products and places, but in some cases, it's good they're setting some standards already]
I want to know if the speakerphone is actually usable now!!!! Hopefully those posters will say something about it in Portuguese which I cannot read and, thus, won't know if they ever do, and then will ultimately wait until I get it on Friday. Still, speakerphone blows right now, I need a good one! Come on Apple....
Hmmm, no luck for you... They're just basking at the coverage they're getting and making bets on whether their server will hold up...
