Okay, This Is A Little Over The Top
Posted by: Arik Hesseldahl on August 10
A guy in Colorado — apparently a big guy — has had his thumbs surgically altered in order to better use his iPhone.Here’s the story which I first noticed on MacDailyNews. But its funny, because whenever I review new mobile devices, especially those with particularly small keys, I almost always complain that its better-suited to people with smaller thumbs. Meanwhile, has anyone seen any pictures of the thumbs before and after the surgery? Send a link if you have.

It's a fake story - a good bit of social sarcasm.
