iPhone hacking

[mirrorshard]

Apparently, enterprising South Koreans who do not wish to take their gloves off but still want to use their iPhones have taken to using sausages instead.

Now that's a neat hack.

*is predictable*

And indeed a meat hack.

I find it fascinating what does or doesn't work on touchscreens (in part because I only have a fairly fuzzy awareness of how they work, and keep meaning to look it up, and never get around to it). The fact that sausages work (at least on iphones) is quite amusing!

If there's a veg*n version, I'm there!

Inability to use with gloves is one of my most hated iPhone features, although there are several.

That's a really interesting question. I immediately thought of your post this morning, but yes, the veg*n thing...

I have no idea whether any veg*n substances might have the right kind of electrostatic potential, combined with a suitable lack of messiness.

A carrot stick?

[mirrorshard.livejournal.com]

Might work... wrapping anything in clingfilm would deal with the messiness without stopping it working, certainly. Intuitively, I'd think sun-dried tomatoes might work better. Clearly tests must be done!

Hm, that would be nice, as it could be carved to a more suitable 'point'...

It's capacitative. A quorn sausage should have sufficient moisture.

[friend-of-tofu.livejournal.com]

Not vegan, so no good for vegans :-(

[reddragdiva]

A WATER-FILLED CONDOM THEN!

[friend-of-tofu.livejournal.com]

As long as it was a vegan condom.

Although really, typing..?

[prolificdiarist.livejournal.com]

Lol!

Now imagining that on my breakfast plate...

[reddragdiva]

Working your iPhone with one will definitely catch attention!

You live and learn!

The headline is, of course, perfect. "Real Men use their MEAT STYLUS for their iPhone."

[friend-of-tofu.livejournal.com]

Can you imagine the typo problem?? Most of the time, my fingers are too big already.

I was thinking about a handy pocket penis, but realised that would probably send out exactly the wrong message about feminists...

[reddragdiva]

People would be very polite to you.

[friend-of-tofu.livejournal.com]

This would make a nice change, it's true.

OK, volunteers?

[reddragdiva]

You need to make one yourself from a vegan sausage.

[friend-of-tofu.livejournal.com]

No-one's going to cower at me because I'm waving a vegan sausage, are they?

[reddragdiva]

WITH KETCHUP AT THE STUMP.

*giggles*

That might undermine that lack-of-mess element though. The state of my pockets would be hideous.
