Thumbs too big for iPhone? Hack 'em!
File under the “Change the User, not the User Interface” dept:
Tiny displays, limited functionality, itty-bitty keyboard buttons and now the iPhone’s entirely virtual keyboard whose keys can be hard to hit for some people have given folks something to talk about. Taking matters to a level that I believe is unheard of in the technology world, however, 28-year-old Thomas Martel in Bonnie Brae (a Denver, CO neighborhood) decided to solve his large handed problem by surgically altering his thumbs to make it easier to use his iPhone.
Update: This is probably a hoax. Love the internets!
