In what I take to be a ringing endorsement of the rationality and sensitivity of the international financial markets, stocks have risen in a number of obscure (and not so obscure) electronics companies. Why, I hear you ask with breath only marginally less ba(i)ted than a nineteenth century bear, why? Turns out that “techies”, to use the groovy-uncle vernacular employed by the crazy kids over at CNN (who just this morning I was being all nice about), have dismantled the new iPhone in order to discover Apple’s trade secrets.

Also amongst those whose wealth was increased by this turn of events was Apple, who can apparently make products people are willing to buy merely in order to take them to pieces. Rumours that Steve Jobs is planning to launch the iJigsaw later this year have recently been made up entirely by me.
