Microsoft Patent: How to Silence your Device by whacking it off

Sometimes life is funnier than fiction. A new Microsoft invention published by the US Patent Office this week goes into great detail as to how you'll one day be able to silence your device by simply whacking it off. I'm not trying to be offensive – it's just what it is. And believe it or not, it actually gets funnier as you follow their train of thought. I laughed so much that it was hard to finish the report

Yeah, right!

Jeesh, I could do with a phone like that!

The stupid Snooze/Dismiss buttons on my current Nokia Lumia 800 is way too small.

I know of a few people who would probably love to whack off their iPhones, just to prove their undying love for all things Apple and all that.

As it's a Microsoft patent, Apple would probably not be able to implement it unless they paid a king's ransom.
