    I deleted BrickBreaker from my Blackberry. Because I had a problem.

    If you’re in trouble too, go to Options - Advanced Options - Applications, scroll down to BrickBreaker, hit the BlackBerry button, and choose Delete from the pop-up menu. Then, turn off your phone and turn it on again. Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life.

    Ugh. Douglas Quenqua has the world's most irritating articles. If you'll recall, he's also the one who brought us groundbreaking coverage on gays and straights talking to each other and on what happens when you delete Facebook friends. He also claimed that calling something "so Obama" was a trend. Have you ever heard anyone call something "so Obama"? Because I have not, and it's a good thing because I would probably punch that person in the face. Would that be Obama, Quenqua?

    That is an incredibly exclusive superman ringer t-shirt. I bet they don't let just anyone who walks into Hot Topic purchase such a fine garment befitting an A-Lister.

    The most symbolically appropriate phone would be something cheap and ostentatious. I suggest the bedazzled phones in dollar stores: children’s toys, which emit noises but do not actually connect to people.



    The question of the device raises other questions about what exactly Mr. Kade deserves in matters of communication. As a subject, I don’t think any major blog or media outlet should be concerned with this irrelevant and provincial clown.

    He looks like Judd Hirsch but with even less talent and charisma.



    The worst part is you're basically feeding the monster. People like him and Julia Allison don't care if you're making fun of them, they just want you to acknowledge and therefore legitimize their existence.

    I can't hear the audio (unless I want to get yelled at), but it looks like a Vertu phone. I used to see them all the time in the Neiman Marcus catalog, and to this day I still don't understand why they're so expensive. Sure, I get why people would have to pay a lot of money for the ones made of gold or adorned with diamonds, etc. but even the base model (which wasn't anything special) went for over $5,000. The only "perk" I remember was some 24-hour, London-based concierge service for owners of the phone, but even with that it sounds like the Vertu is nothing more than a status symbol on steroids...



    ...which makes it perfect for Arthur Kade.

    @mattchew03: I'm not convinced he has the mental capacity to use any "features" of his phone anyhow. The less useful and more expensive it is, the better, I think.

    With popularity like that, I'm thinking he should just get a personal assistant/intern to take his calls.

    If Martin Scorcese did call Arthur Kade, our hero would be so stunned he'd melt, Wicked Witch-like, and all that would be left would be a tiny globule of heartbreak. Can someone pass Arthur's number on to Marty please?
