So, now you can press harder if Siri doesn't react immediately...

[Rudi]

Just don't press too hard that it bends the phone...(again!!)

One thing you should know about the new iPad Pro.

It works with a stylus, and by stylus we mean the Apple Pencil. The Pencil is sold separately and will run you $99.
It's got responsive sensors that register position, force, and tilt. It'll also register your unfortunate lack of artistic talent. Sorry.

Specs: Apple iPad Pro vs. Microsoft Surface 3
PS: Surface Pro, stylus. FREE ...

I was quite happy with my old mobile phone, or Handy if you're German speaking, but, I had to upgrade to the latest phone, unfortunately. You see, the old one wasn't compatible with my new, blue-tooth enabled, pressure cooker.

...by stylus we mean the Apple Pencil...

I heard that Apple had come up with amazing new concept, a stick that writes, and they were calling it a 'pencil'. Amazing that no one had thought of such a cunning idea before.

(For John Gray)

Why does that article use stylii as plural of stylus? One could use either styli or styluses, but stylii (like virii as plural of virus) is nonsense...

Absolutely!

Would you like a chicken pie or a beef pie? Hmmm..., I'd like to have both pii please!

Chicken, please. With a a nice pleasant white wine, if you could?
Oh, you weren't offering anything? Shame!

I can offer this:

A pi was discovered,
In ancient Greek times,
Didn't have apples,
Bananas, or limes...
Unlike desserts,
Those pies people eat,
This pi's a math constant,
But it's still really sweet...
Pi's pretty easy,
It’s 3.14,
It used to confuse me,
But not anymore!
I use it for math,
It's really quite swell,
Although it's irrational,
Pi works pretty well...
Areas of circles?
Try πr 2
It's the cool constant,
It deserves to be shared...
For circumference you need,
A quick formuli,
Here it is mister,
You gotta' use pi!
Yes, pi's the cool constant,
Without it I'd cry,
'Cause I'd fail my math,
If I tried to use pie...
