People love the newest gadgets. It was the Walkman back in the day, then the iPod, the Wii, and lately, the various iterations of the iPhone, with locals swamping Apple stores from Clarendon to … wherever other Apple stores are.

There’s just one problem.

Overheard of the Week

After the jump, charity baseball conspiracies, Rocky Mountain oysters, topless kickball, and ice cream.
