        @michi The engineer said "we added another button" and Jobs just unhinged his jaw and devoured the guy whole.

            @michi a bad workman blames his tools. Jobs should have practiced with the similarly discontinued Gameboy D, with double D-pads, but snobbism towards Nintendo withheld him.

                @jnazario @KormaChameleon DJ Hero came out that year, so this could have been the perfect mobile device to play it on.
