This looks shopped.

I can tell by the pixels and by having seen quite a few shops in my days.

This is why I love the movie Elf. It shows elves making brand-name toys and learning how to build current-gen graphics processors for electronics that get requested.

As a teacher, I've come to the realization that almost everyone wasn't hugged enough as a kid.

It breaks my heart every time I realize I'm the first person in a kid's life that believed in them or told them that they were smart.

Weighted blankets are used for a number of health reasons.

People who have a lot of stress or struggle falling asleep at night benefit from them as well.

Calling the stage units prototypes is being nice. The reality was that at that point the iPhone had barely gotten to a proof of concept stage. Months before this event, the developers were still using a giant desktop tower to simulate the phone's hardware.

That the photos of the phone were real and not concept art, that the stage units weren't just unusable rubber dummies was a magic trick itself.

When the developers revealed years later that the iPhone presentation (just the presentation, not even the actual launch) was a make or break moment for the company, they absolutely were not kidding.

And then they went from "should not even be working" test units to fully functional production units in six months!

Whatever your opinion of Jobs or Apple, credit where credit is due.

No, at that age, if you told me I had 42 chicken nuggets all to myself that I could eat whenever I wanted, I would call that a good Christmas present.
